Baselane raised $44.3M to build landlord banking. SealedFolio is a private desktop app for portfolio analytics. They solve different problems, and many landlords use both.
Portfolio intelligence for the property owner. Tracks every asset, analyses returns, generates tax reports, and stores everything in an encrypted vault on your Mac. No cloud. No bank account required.
Primary users: Property owners, investors
Landlord banking and rent collection. Provides bank accounts, debit cards, ACH rent collection, and basic transaction categorization. $44.3M in VC funding. Cloud-based, requires an internet connection.
Primary users: Landlords processing rent payments
Every card payment made through Baselane costs 3.49%. On a $2,000 rent payment, that's $70 per month, $840 per year, per unit.
ACH transfers aren't free either. $2 per transfer adds up quickly with multiple tenants paying monthly.
Venture-backed startups need to return capital. Fees tend to increase as they work toward profitability or an exit.
