Self Storage Software UK: Compare Eight Options for 2026

UK self storage software: prices and free trials

Few suppliers publish prices. Ask for a written quote on the same units, rent and sites.

UK self storage software: features compared

The same eight systems against the features UK operators ask about first.

Which software suits which UK operator?

Each name opens a full guide with tables, strengths and a verdict.

• No minimum, pay only for leased units: Unit Manager Pro.
• Gate hardware integrated: Unit Manager Pro (set up per account by our team), StorMan (ready-made integrations), Kinnovis (its own access product), Stora (Advanced plan and up).
• Several sites in one account: Unit Manager Pro (on request), Storeganise, SiteLink, Storable Edge, StorMan.

Why UK operators choose Unit Manager Pro

If you run one or a few independent sites, these are the points that tend to decide it:

• Stripe Direct Debit (BACS) and card payments collected through your own connected Stripe account, with saved-card backup if a debit fails
• GBP invoicing with VAT support and GDPR-aligned data handling
• Pay per leased unit: £1.25 per leased unit up to 20 leased units, or 1% of collected rent capped at £2.50 per leased unit; empty units cost nothing
• A website, online booking and a branded tenant portal included in every plan
• A 14-day free trial with no credit card

Use the same five tests on every self storage software demo

First, complete a mobile booking and inspect the agreement, tenant record and payment setup. Second, ask what happens when a bank debit is pending or fails. Third, change a rent amount with a future effective date and inspect the tenant communication. Fourth, ask the supplier to demonstrate your exact gate controller if access automation matters. Finally, request sample exports and a written exit process.

Record whether a result is demonstrated, conditional on an integration, sold as an add-on or unavailable. Do not award a pass because a sales page uses the word automation. SiteLink and Storable Edge are separate products; ask which product and configuration a quote covers.

Compare costs on equal assumptions

Prepare the same total units, leased units, average rent, locations, staff access and payment mix for each quote. Include setup, website, messaging, processing and hardware costs. Repeat the calculation at a lower and higher occupancy. Do not use an unsupported universal threshold at which one vendor becomes expensive.

Unit Manager Pro’s current plans and worked pricing examples explain its plans. Its all-in-one workflow includes bookings, tenant records, leases, Stripe billing and a website. Our team sets up gate and smart-lock integration per account, and multi-site is available on request, so tell us your hardware and sites early.

Make the free trial produce a decision

Use the printable software evaluation worksheet to record evidence and unresolved questions. Choose the product that meets your non-negotiable tasks with an affordable total cost, not the one with the longest list of ticks.

For an existing business, review supported imports and migration planning before cancellation. Payment mandates, historic balances and signed agreements need separate attention. A successful demo is not evidence that all of your old records can be imported unchanged.
