Which is better for compliance - August or Hammock?

The two platforms address different types of compliance. Hammock focuses on financial and tax compliance, it tracks income and expenses, generates SA105-mapped tax statements, and supports Making Tax Digital submissions. It does send notifications for expiring documents and certificates, but it does not provide a guided workflow for tenancy compliance obligations. As an alternative to Hammock, August takes a broader approach. Its compliance checklist covers the key legal obligations UK landlords face, gas safety certificates, electrical installation condition reports, deposit prescribed information, right to rent checks, and more, written in plain English. August Intelligence reads your uploaded documents and automatically suggests reminders based on expiry dates, so you do not have to set them manually. With the Renters' Rights Act introducing significant new obligations for landlords, having a platform that actively guides you through what is due and why is increasingly valuable. For landlords whose primary concern is staying on the right side of HMRC rather than managing tenancy compliance, Hammock's focus may be the better fit.
