The verdict
Baselane's built-in banking is genuinely useful if you want a dedicated landlord bank account. But for actual property management — lease compliance, maintenance tracking, tenant screening, financial automation — Tenby covers more ground at a lower price. If banking is your top priority, Baselane wins. If everything else matters more, Tenby is the better pick.
