Ours keeps a deposit ledger per tenancy (record, apply, refund, delete), a running balance, and text or PDF statements and a report. Landlord software suites (e.g. Baselane at $20/mo for its Smart tier) do deposits as part of rent collection, accounting and tenant management. The comparison below is read from the pricing and capability material each publishes.

Pick a landlord suite when you collect rent, bank and account online and want deposits inside one product with rent roll, late fees and tenant records, often free to $20-$150/mo. Baselane's Smart tier is about $20/mo. If a deposit ledger already lives next to your rent software and you want the whole tenancy lifecycle there, the suite fits without a separate tool.
Pick ours for the deposit ledger specifically, straight from chat, with a text statement free on every tier and no per-tenant or per-deposit cap at the free tier. If deposits are the only piece you need tracked and your tenancy count is small, a $20/mo subscription is overkill for a ledger. Ours runs locally with no account and no network call, has a fixed-price $19 once Pro for the PDF statement and the deposits report, and a PDF statement is a ready hand-off document.

Many suites are free at entry and scale to $50-$150/mo mid-range; Baselane's Smart tier is about $20/mo, recurring. Ours keeps deposit records, balance and a text statement free on every tier with no cap; the PDF statement and report are a $19 once Pro unlock.
No. Ours only tracks deposits (record, apply, refund, balance, statements, report). A landlord suite adds rent collection, banking and tenant management around it.
Ours builds a text deposit statement free on every tier and a PDF statement on Pro. Statement output in a landlord suite varies by account and output method.
