FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Baselane is focused on being an all-in-one landlord banking platform with free rent collection and built-in bank accounts. Vuuv is a bookkeeping solution that supports both real estate investors AND freelancers/self-employed, with features like invoicing, time tracking, GPS mileage, and Schedule C reports that Baselane doesn't offer.

It depends on your needs. If you want free rent collection and built-in banking, Baselane is excellent. If you also have self-employment income (consulting, side business, etc.), or need advanced tax features like MACRS depreciation, 1031 tracking, or a tax calculator, Vuuv is the better choice.

Vuuv uses Stripe for rent collection. For ACH bank transfers, the fee is 0.8% capped at $5 (so a $2,000 rent payment costs $5). Baselane offers free ACH transfers through their banking platform. However, Vuuv has no monthly fees for our free tier and significantly more features for freelancers.

Absolutely! Vuuv has comprehensive real estate features including property tracking, tenant management, lease tracking, rent collection, MACRS depreciation, 1031 exchange tracking, and Schedule E reports. The freelancer features are a bonus if you ever need them.

No, Baselane only supports manual mileage entry. Vuuv's mobile app includes GPS-based automatic trip detection that logs your drives in the background - you just classify them as business or personal later.

Yes! Export your Baselane transactions as a CSV and import them into Vuuv. You'll need to set up your properties and tenants fresh, but all your historical financial data can come over.

Vuuv handles your rentals AND your self-employment income in one simple app.
