Paydwell vs PayWorx
If you already collect rent by debit order, PayWorx-style collection processing is the engine. Paydwell is the system of record around that engine: online applications, an affordability and credit snapshot before you approve, a signed lease on file, and per-tenancy invoicing, receipts and arrears notices generated automatically.
PayWorx provides debit-order and collection processing. Paydwell uses a collection rail too, but wraps it in the rest of the tenancy: who you approved, what they signed, what they owe and what has been chased.
| Feature | Paydwell | PayWorx |
|---|---|---|
| Debit-order collection | Included, with automatic retry on failed collections | Core service |
| EFT / manual payment matching | Matched to the tenancy ledger automatically | Varies |
| Tenant applications & screening | Online applications + affordability + TPN credit snapshot | Not a stated focus |
| Lease e-signing | Included | Not a stated focus |
| Per-tenancy ledger, invoices & receipts | Generated automatically, emailed to tenants | Not a stated focus |
| Commission & rent splitting | Agency commission per tenancy, protected splits on increase | Not a stated focus |
Competitor capabilities change and vary by plan. This table reflects public positioning at the date shown — confirm specifics with PayWorx before deciding.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Paydwell replace a debit-order provider?
- Paydwell includes debit-order collection with automatic retries, plus the tenancy record, screening, e-signing and arrears automation around it — so for most letting agencies it replaces a standalone collection setup.
- What happens when a debit order fails?
- The failed collection is flagged and retried automatically on the schedule you set, and late-payment and mandate emails go out without anyone on your team having to chase.
