How much does ProPixa cost?

ProPixa is £5 per property per month for a letting agency, with a £50 monthly minimum, falling to £4 per property beyond 50 properties and £3 beyond 150. Tenants never pay. Two months are free and no card is required to start.

Does Alto charge to get your data back if you leave?

Alto's published terms state that the provider may charge a fee for data extraction on termination of the contract, and that it may destroy client data unless it receives a written request within ninety days of termination. Delivery is conditional on all outstanding fees being paid, and the client pays the provider's reasonable expenses.

Is Alto or ProPixa better for a small letting agency?

It depends on whether you sell property. Alto covers sales and lettings with portal publishing, applicant matching and sales progression, and is the better choice for an agency whose sales side is central. ProPixa is lettings and property management only, with a published price, no minimum term, AI repair triage and a free tenant app. An agency that mainly manages rather than sells will usually find ProPixa cheaper and simpler.

What is Alto better at than ProPixa?

Sales. Alto publishes listings to Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket, matches applicants to properties using portal search behaviour, and has a mature sales progression module tracking both sides of a chain. ProPixa does none of that. Alto is also far larger and longer established, with integrations ProPixa does not have.

ProPixa vs Alto: an honest comparison

Q: How long is an Alto contract?

Alto's published baseline terms and conditions state that a subscription continues for twenty-four months from the subscription start date and then automatically extends for successive periods of twenty-four months. A client may terminate only with effect from an extension date, giving not less than ninety days' prior written notice.

Q: Can Alto increase its prices during a contract?

Alto's published terms allow it to increase service fees once per calendar year on not less than thirty days' written notice, with no cap stated on the amount. If no notice is given, fees increase automatically in line with the UK Retail Prices Index.

Last updated 30 August 2026 · Every statement about Alto comes from Alto’s own website, help centre, or published baseline terms and conditions dated 27 February 2026

The short version: if you sell property, choose Alto — portal publishing, applicant matching and sales progression are theirs and we do not compete. If you mainly manage property, ProPixa is likely cheaper, simpler and easier to leave: £5 per property, tenants free, no minimum term.

Price

	Alto	ProPixa
Published price	None. The website says “one transparent price” and shows no figure	£5 per property per month, £50 monthly minimum. £4 beyond 50 properties, £3 beyond 150
Tenants	Not stated	Free, always
Free trial	Capterra lists “no free trial”	Two months, no card required

We are not suggesting Alto is expensive — we genuinely do not know what it costs, and neither does anyone who has not sat through their sales process. That is the point. If you are comparing three platforms in an evening, you can compare exactly one of them.

The contract — the part worth reading twice

Alto publishes its baseline terms and conditions openly, which is more than many suppliers do, and you can download them from altosoftware.co.uk/alto-terms. Here is what they say. The clause numbers are theirs, so you can check every line yourself.

Alto’s published baseline terms	ProPixa
Twenty-four month term, automatically extending. Clause 4.1: the subscription “continues for twenty-four (24) months” and then “automatically extends for successive periods of twenty-four (24) months”	Monthly. No minimum term
One exit window every two years. Clause 17.1: you may terminate only “with effect from any Extension Date”, on “not less than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice”	Tell us and it stops at the end of the month
They can leave whenever they like. Clause 17.4: the provider may terminate the contract or any service on ninety days’ notice, at any time	Same notice both ways
An annual increase with no stated cap. Clause 10.9: fees may be increased once per calendar year on thirty days’ notice. If no notice is given, they rise automatically in line with the UK Retail Prices Index	The price is on this page. If it changes, it changes here first
Fewer users can mean a higher unit price. Clause 6.3: a reduction in user licences “may result in a corresponding increase in the per-user Subscription Fee”	Priced per property, not per user. Add and remove staff freely
A fee to get your own data out. Clause 1.6(e): “the Provider may charge a fee for data extraction on termination.” Clause 17.8(c): they may destroy client data unless a written request arrives within ninety days, delivery is conditional on all fees being paid, and the client pays their expenses	Ask us and we will send you everything, free, whether you are staying or leaving

An important caveat, and we mean it. Those are Alto’s baseline terms. Clause 1.3(e) allows an individual order to override them with special conditions, so your own agreement may say something different. Do not take our word for what your contract says — read it, or ask them.

We should also be fair: a multi-year term with an annual uplift is completely normal in business software. Alto is not unusual here. It is simply the opposite of how we have chosen to sell, and if you have ever been surprised by a renewal you did not ask for, the difference matters.

Where Alto is better

This section exists because a comparison page without one is an advert.

Sales. Valuations, instructions, listings, offers, and a genuinely well-built sales progression module tracking both the property sale and the purchaser’s side. ProPixa has none of this.
Portal publishing. One workflow to Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket. ProPixa does not publish to the portals.
Applicant matching. Alto matches buyers to homes using real portal search behaviour, which comes from being owned by the same group as Zoopla. Nobody outside a portal can replicate that.
Scale and maturity. Alto says it works with over 6,000 UK agencies. ProPixa is new, small, and built by a very small team. If a long track record is what you are buying, buy theirs.
Integrations. Alto lists more than thirty integration partners covering AML, ID checks, conveyancing referrals and marketing. We have far fewer.

Where ProPixa is different

The price is published. £5 per property, tenants free. You can budget before you talk to anyone.
No minimum term. Stay because it works, not because of clause 4.1.
AI that does a specific job. When a tenant reports a repair, ProPixa reads it, tells you the trade, the urgency and a likely cost range, and drafts the message to your own tradesperson — with the tenant’s name, number and email already in it, so you are not sending a second email with the access details.
A free tenant app. Tenants report repairs with a photo, see their own tenancy and documents, and can simply reply to an email to update a repair — no login, nothing to learn, and no charge, ever.
Compliance in one list. Gas, EICR, EPC, deposit protection, licences, right to rent and inspections across the whole portfolio, soonest to expire first, with reminders that go out on their own.
Your own tradespeople are free. Invite your plumber, gas engineer or handyman and we never take commission on the work they do for you. Not on the first job, not ever.

Who should stay with Alto

Genuinely: if your agency’s sales side is central to the business, if you need portal publishing, or if you are mid-way through a term and the exit window is a long way off, Alto is the right answer and switching would cost you more than it saves. We would rather tell you that now than after you have signed up.
