The chat bot feature is a godsend when learning to navigate this system. Customer Service team are friendly and helpful. There are many tools like broadcast which allows you to communicate with all the owners , budgets, reconcile accounts and violations. Great Product! Pros We are a small 12 unit HOA and this format works great for us! I love all the areas they cover and that they link to our bank. For self management this is the way to go! Cons Different time zone from us… so sometimes have to wait for an answer if Fin (chat bot) doesn’t know an answer.

We're glad the product is working well for you and that you've had positive experiences with the features as well as our support team. We're looking forward to working with you for many more years in the future. Thanks for choosing PayHOA! JP Janice P. Treasurer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Saves us a ton " July 31, 2026 4.0 It has been a lifesaver in many ways . Spent 4 times more with an actual accountant so it’s saving our nonprofit a lot . Pros Always ready to answer questions , does a good job of generating reports, fast way to broadcast messages Cons The accounting process is a bit clunky. You have to hunt around to find entries, generate invoices individually for owners who want to pay ahead Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Reason for choosing PayHOA Quickbooks was not honest about which version I needed and wanted to charge us a higher price. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Thank you for the review Janice. We love hearing that PayHOA is saving you time and that our support team is helpful at answering questions. The feedback on the accounting process is helpful as we build out the platform, but we're glad that it's still better than your time with an accountant. Thanks for choosing PayHOA, we hope to continue improving your experience in the future. MZ Mark Z. Finance and HR Manager Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not ready for prime time" August 6, 2026 2.0 Mostly negative, I'm sorry to say. Easy to use though. The support is decent, or at least prompt. For anyone coming from QuickBooks, or even free accounting software like Wave, PayHOA is mostly frustrating. And who needs so many "approvals" for everything? Honestly this seems like a beta-test product, at least on the accounting side. The portal works fairly well. Pros The homeowner portal works fairly well, though it could be more intuitive. Some of our homeowners find it difficult to navigate. Cons The accounting features, or lack of. Basic things like having voucher checks actually including some payment information on them. The necessity to use journal entries for so many things. Not having the ability to record recurring payables, other than with batch JE. The reporting is terrible. While your marketing materials state that QuickBooks isn't necessary is misleading, as this product is not QuickBooks by any stretch of the imagination. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 18, 2026 Hi Mark, I'm sorry our accounting tool haven't met your expectations. We are constantly working to improve our platform to make it more intuitive and robust. We'd welcome a call to learn more about your frustrations so we can address them directly. If you're interested in talking, you can reach out to our VP of Marketing, Earl, at earl@payhoa.com anytime. CS Chi S. Director Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use, gives competitors a run for their money " April 23, 2026 4.0 We're actually hopeful that this might be something we can use to self manage one day without a management company. Access is simple, paying is simple, we haven't had any issues with finances as the graphs are amazing. And I appreciate that I'm not constantly spammed with marketing emails but helpful support tips and tricks. Pros We came from TownSq which was ok, maybe not worth the money. PayHOA does so much of a better job in terms of ease of use, interface, logging in. You really can't mess it up as it is straight forward. Cons We've been on it for less than a year, the duplicate accounts and admin privileges were confusing but other than that, there really aren't any complaints. Switched from [TownSq](https://www.capterra.com/p/179206/TownSq/) The system was clunky and archaic. It wasn't user friendly and was messy in terms of collecting data. Review Source Response from Pay HOA April 24, 2026 Hi Chi, We appreciate the review. We're so glad the switch to PayHOA has been a smoother experience and that ease of use, the interface and the financial graphs are standing out. It's also great to hear you're hopeful this could help you 100% self-manage one day. That's exactly the kind of shift we love to support. On the cons, we'd love to learn more about what you ran into with duplicate accounts. Could you share a bit more detail so we can take a closer look? And on admin privileges, our support team (support@payhoa.com) is always happy to walk through setup and permissions with you whenever it's helpful. Thanks again for the review and for being part of the PayHOA community. AL Alan L. President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PayHOA - Easy and Effective HOA Management" August 1, 2026 4.0 Our experience has been excellent. The team at PayHOA has always been courteous and responsive when we had issues with the tool. The little irritants can be frustrating whenever you need specific information and it is not available. Thankfully, we have not noted any significant issues with the financial elements of the software. Pros PayHOA delivers considerable value to an HOA that has limited resources to manage their financial and administrative affairs. The software is user friendly and intuitive, while allowing for the development of custom reports to answer specific inquiries. Having linkage between PayHOA and the bank accounts has been a timesaver by providing an interface to help answer questions and concerns when they arise. Cons We were early adopters of the software and there were modules that did not function as we had expected. From time to time we also had issues viewing past broadcast messages that seemed to evaporate. PayHOA has since worked out most of the bugs, but we recommend quickly checking the Mail Room and Communications modules regularly to verify that the information is readily available. Switched from [TOPS](https://www.capterra.com/p/92600/TOPS/) As an enterprise type product, it was too complex and expensive for our HOA. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi Alan, thank you for this positive review. It's always nice to hear from early adopters, especially those who have stuck with us as we worked to improve the software. We're glad that your overall experience has been excellent and that the platform has grown to work out bugs and provide more functionality. We plan to continue improving the software and adding functionality, so we hope your experience only improves over time. Thank you for being a loyal customer, we're lucky to have you with us. James B. President Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very happy with PayHOA" July 15, 2026 5.0 We have been very happy with PayHOA and would make the same decision again. It has made managing financials and invoicing/collecting from members fairly easy. Pros I was previously treasurer for an HOA board and used Buildium. I am currently President for an HOA and decided to look at other products. We selected PayHOA due to its ease of use and features. It was also less expensive than the quality alternatives. Communications are much easier than other products. Information access is better including pictures of member properties. Bank reconciliation works well. Customer support has been amazing, and they were extremely helpful with implementation and training. Cons The financials are good, but other products allow more links to detail transactions from reports. It's not that hard to find details, but it takes an extra step. Alternatives considered [Easy HOA](https://www.capterra.com/p/237509/Easy-HOA/)[Buildium](https://www.capterra.com/p/47428/Buildium-Property-Management-Software/)[HOA Start](https://www.capterra.com/p/215897/HOA-Start/) Reason for choosing PayHOA Cost and features were much stronger and customer support is better. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi James, It sounds like you have a lot of experience with financials and HOA management. It's great to hear that PayHOA is able to meet your needs and that our support team has been helpful both getting you up and running and with training. Thanks for the review! Ed D. Board Executive Office Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "5 Stars! Great Product!" July 29, 2026 5.0 PayHOA is a great product since we are a self managed HOA. The tools make it really easy to set up your HOA for success. Pros It is easy to use and is adaptable. It makes managing an HOA a breeze. Everything is right at your finger tips and easy to use. Cons Nothing! They are always willing to assist to make sure you have a great experience! If anything, they need to take a break sometimes. They are always available! Alternatives considered [TownSq](https://www.capterra.com/p/179206/TownSq/) Reason for choosing PayHOA Better value and you were able to talk to a human Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi Ed, glad PayHOA has made managing your HOA straightforward and that being able to talk to an actual person made a difference - our support team is truly dedicated to our customers, so it's wonderful that you had a good experience with them. Glad to have you as a PayHOA customer, and thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! Sean-Paul O. Treasurer Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great software for a self managed community." July 30, 2026 5.0 I have really liked the software. It is very easy to navigate, manage dues, requests, and outbound communication. Pros The best software for the money. We are a small self managed HOA so keeping our costs down was important. Cons Not having the ability to receive and archive emails, only being able to send them out to our HOA community. Alternatives considered [Easy HOA](https://www.capterra.com/p/237509/Easy-HOA/) Reason for choosing PayHOA Best features for the price and easy of deployment. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi Sean-Paul, thanks for sharing this with us. It's great to hear that PayHOA is giving you the features you need while keeping your costs down. We are always working on the platform, so we appreciate the feedback on emails as well. Thanks for being a PayHOA customer. VR Verified Reviewer HOA Tech Specialist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Super easy, barely an inconvenience! " July 28, 2026 4.0 Overall I'd say my experience has been a net positive. It is super easy to navigate. I love having access to documents in a centralized location so I don't have to search for things or print multiple copies to avoid losing things. It's a great tool for homeowners and HOA leaders. Pros I love that it makes HOA payment and tracking participation automatic. It reduces stress as a homeowner and as a member of the HOA committee. The UI also is very easy to work with. Cons The additional fee to process the payment is a downside, however it is minimal. Besides that, I personally don't have any issues with the service. Switched from [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/)[Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/)[Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/) Not specific to our needs. It was a mess to try and help people find documents and make payments. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Thank you for the review! We're glad automatic payment tracking and having documents in one place has made things easier as both a homeowner and committee member. Sounds like a solid improvement over sorting through scattered files and printouts. Thanks for being a customer! Urs B. Treasurer Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "COA Management for small COA" July 15, 2026 5.0 Big time saver. Still needs some accounting experience to set up correctly. Training, onboarding and support are excellent. Pros Big time saver vs. just using Quickbooks. We are a 16-unit COA. Quotes from management companies ranged from $500 for accounting only to well over $1000. Cons So far no major issues. I don't like to use the bank promoted by COA software, but integration with our bank works well. Switched from [Quicken](https://www.capterra.com/p/151854/Quicken/) Desire to automate COA administrative functions, dues collection, communications, document repository. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi Urs, Thanks for the review. It's good to hear that you've been able to save time and money compared to other management services. Our goal is to provide affordable software that hits all the major features you need, along with giving you control over what you use and what you don't, like the bank integrations. Glad to have you as a PayHOA customer! AC Alex C. Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solid Choice" February 16, 2026 4.0 Overall, my experience with PayHOA has been very positive. While there are some bugs and feature limitations that still need refinement, the platform delivers strong value for the cost and continues to improve over time. The system is user-friendly, well-supported by helpful documentation, and backed by a responsive support team. The ongoing upgrades show that the company is actively developing and listening to feedback, which gives confidence that current issues will be resolved. For HOAs looking for an affordable, functional, and steadily improving management solution, PayHOA is a solid choice. Pros PayHOA offers great value for the money. Compared to other HOA management platforms, it provides strong functionality at a very reasonable cost. They have been consistently upgrading their system, and you can really see the improvements over time. The platform continues to get better, which shows they are actively investing in development. The site itself is easy to use, both for board members and residents. On top of that, the help articles have been a tremendous resource for residents, making it easy for them to find answers quickly without needing direct assistance. Their support staff — \[sensitive content hidden\] — are great to work with. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and always helpful when questions come up. Cons While PayHOA offers strong overall value, there are still some system bugs that can create frustration. There have been issues with exporting financial statements. PDF exports work fine, but CSV exports do not always match the same format and are sometimes missing information, which requires additional manual cleanup. The voting module also has limitations. It does not allow formatting within ballot descriptions — no spacing, no bold text, and everything appears in one continuous paragraph. Additionally, there is no high-level overview of voting responses. To see how residents voted, you must click into each individual ballot rather than viewing a summary. There have also been occasional instances where transactions were recorded to the wrong account when multiple bank accounts are linked within the system. That said, these appear to be system bugs rather than structural issues, and given their ongoing upgrades, I’m confident these will likely be addressed over time.

Also the 30 day trial was nice to check out everything before signing up officially. Switched from [Vantaca](https://www.capterra.com/p/230892/Vantaca/) The HOA budget was limited and we needed a budget friendly option. Review Source Response from Pay HOA March 6, 2026 Hey Alex, thank you for the thorough review. We're glad PayHOA has been a good fit for your community, and it's great to hear that the platform, documentation and support team have all been working well for you. We appreciate the detailed feedback on CSV exports, the voting module and the bank account issues. That kind of specificity is really helpful. We've passed it along to our product team, and it's on their radar as we continue improving the platform. It means a lot that you see the progress we're making. We're committed to keep building on that momentum. Appreciate you being part of the PayHOA community. VR Verified Reviewer HOA BOD President Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "HOA BOD President Statement "PayHOA provided the structure, governance, and accountability as the HOA BOD fiduciary leads"" December 29, 2025 5.0 We rolled-out our neighborhood PayHOA program in October and have successfully trained and assisted 98% of our homeowners get comfortable with the tools. The PayHOA team are very responsive and dedicated to resolving any programming issues or mis-connections. I've been on 14 different HOA Board of Directors over the years and this is the best, most reliable, and helpful management tool I have ever experienced! Pros The PayHOA system has been a critical piece to our young neighborhood self-manage our 121-house neighborhood. For about a $1/household per month, the value for the money we spend is amazing. Quality staff members with a focus on customer service and individual support for our various users. As the President of my neighborhood HOA, the Return on Investment is excellent and we now have tools to run a professional neighborhood HOA. Cons We had a couple of early issues in getting the bank accounts connected and to automatically sync. However, the PayHOA Customer Service team were patient and determined to help us resolve those challenges. Alternatives considered [TownSq](https://www.capterra.com/p/179206/TownSq/) Reason for choosing PayHOA Pricing and expansive nature of archiving neighborhood documentation. Review Source Response from Pay HOA January 5, 2026 Wow, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a detailed review. This is high praise coming from someone with your level of board experience! We love hearing that PayHOA is helping you run your HOA professionally. That kind of value, being able to do more with less, keeping homeowners informed, etc., is precisely what we're going for. We also appreciate the feedback on implementation. The initial setup can be the toughest part, and we're glad you got through it and are now seeing the payoff. Thanks again for being part of the PayHOA community! ZA Zada A. President Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PayHOA for Organization" July 28, 2026 4.0 PayHOA has really helped my HOA consolidate and become more organized. All of the board members can now see what is going on. It also allows us to accept 2 additional payment methods which residents are frequently using. It is a great tool to help my neighborhood stay organized. Pros PayHOA consolidates all unit information in one place and allows us to track charges on units easily. Cons I am still figuring out the best way to use the transaction tracking. It seems to double up the charges sometimes. I would also love to be able to turn off payment reminders for units that have autopay set up. Alternatives considered [Google Workspace](https://www.capterra.com/p/247901/Google-Workspace/) Reason for choosing PayHOA Workspace didn't integrate many of the features that we wanted. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Zada, glad PayHOA has given your whole board visibility into what's going on, and that the added payment methods have been popular with residents. Thanks for the feedback on transaction tracking and autopay reminders, as well, it's helpful to hear what would be most beneficial to our customers as we're continually improving the platform. Glad to have your community on board. GB Gene B. President Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Confirmed-Ditch the management company and use PayHOA." July 23, 2026 5.0 I am extremely happy and as I mentioned previously, I wish we had switched 10 years ago. I had previously thought that maybe I would step down from the Board given the time commitments dealing with issues and the management company. Now with PayHOA, I have reduced my time commitment by 80% or more. I highly recommend this product to anyone involved in managing an HOA. Pros I have saved countless hours of time using the automation in PayHOA. We are now able to retain the revenue from our resales packages and late fees where that previously went exclusively to our management company. As a result, our reserve balance has increased without the need to raise our annual assessment. Cons The processing charge for accepting ACH payments from HOA members. However, this is far outweighed by the money we are saving by ditching the previous management company and using PayHOA software / portal. Alternatives considered [RealPage](https://www.capterra.com/p/183247/Real-Page/)[Easy HOA](https://www.capterra.com/p/237509/Easy-HOA/)[HOA Start](https://www.capterra.com/p/215897/HOA-Start/) Reason for choosing PayHOA From the start with PayHOA we were able to speak to a real person. Our rep helped us with onboarding and training for the board members. They helped us set up our bank accounts and link everything and they take time to respond to our questions in a timely manner. That initial interaction is what sold us, but the service and support and product functionality are what keep us. Review Source Response from Pay HOA July 28, 2026 Gene, thank you for the update and for sharing such a detailed story. Reducing your time commitment by 80% and keeping more of your reserve funds in the community, rather than paying a management company, is exactly what we hope PayHOA delivers. It's great to hear the onboarding and support experience sealed the deal too. We also appreciate your comment on the ACH fees. That's standard across most payment processors, ours included, so it's not something we just tack on. We're glad the overall savings made the switch an easy call for your board. Appreciate you being part of the PayHOA community! DC David C. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Time to change, You wont regret it" August 5, 2026 5.0 I am happy and transitioning another 4 associations to this program. (especially since my former platform raised its monthly fee to $140) Pros Payhoa is very intuitive to use, and friendly for this kind of business. I used a "blanket accounting software" before but it was an incomplete solution for an HOA. Now I have all I need under one login. Cons In the interest of being truthful, I didn't complete the training. I'm sure there are tasks I'm currently doing that could be done more efficiently or more easily, and I'd be interested in learning those. I just haven't had the opportunity to finish the training yet.

Treasurer Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ease of Use + Excellent Value + Top Shelf Customer Support = a fantastic HOA Management Solution" July 18, 2026 5.0 When I was first asked to assume the Treasurer role for our HOA Board, my first thought was “Oh, this is going to be so difficult to deal with vendor payments, sending out invoices, processing homeowner payments, managing a budget, creating reports, etc.” and I’m not an Accountant. The Board members told me that it was “pretty much entirely automated” but I still had reservations. I reluctantly agreed to attend a Board meeting and they demoed PayHOA to me and I quickly came around. Now after a year in the role, I can honestly say that the PayHOA have thought of just about every business process and use case scenario that an HOA requires. The user interface is very intuitive and the product is integrated with several financial solutions to provide a seamless work environment. And the customer support - what can I say? I’ve been in the software business for more than 40 years and hands down, this is far and away the best customer support for any software product that I’ve ever experienced. The PayHOA team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping their customers succeed. You can tell that they really care not only about their product but also about our success. Whenever we've had questions or needed assistance, support has been quick to respond and provide clear, helpful guidance. They have an extensive library of answers to most every situation and most of them include step by step instructions including screenshots for exact how to perform whatever task I’ve struggled with. The service is user-friendly, reliable, and provides the tools I need to effectively manage our HOA's operations, finances, communications and records. One of the best features is also one of the simplest - the ability to create a folder library containing all HOA-related documents. HOA Board members now have transparent access to every detail about our HOA (e.g. CCRs, ByLaws, insurance policies, property tax and IRS records, vendor information, budget details) all in a single place instead of in boxes in somebody’s house. PayHOA provides exceptional value for the cost. The service offers a robust set of tools and features that make managing our HOA significantly easier, from financial revenue and expense tracking and reporting to surveys, voting and other homeowner communications. PayHOA delivers a tremendous amount of functionality at a very reasonable price point. Another standout feature is the customer support. Their dedication to customer service, combined with the platform's ease of use and affordability, makes PayHOA an excellent choice for HOA management. Overall, my experience with PayHOA has been extremely positive. I would highly recommend PayHOA. Pros Ease of use Customer support provided by PayHOA staff Value of the service/ platform for the price point Cons Some locations for configuration settings may not be as intuitive as expected. Otherwise, I can't think of any aspect of PayHOA that disappointed me. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi Ken, Reading reviews like this makes our day. We know just how much work being on an HOA board can be, so we built PayHOA to make it easier - hearing that it works from actual customers is the best validation there is. We're especially proud of our support team. Every one of them is truly invested in every customer they work with, and we're so happy you were able to experience that along with the platform's features and tools. It's truly high praise coming from someone with so much experience in the software industry. We hope you and the rest of your board can enjoy using PayHOA for the foreseeable future, and that the new features we're working on will continue to make your experience even better. Thank you so much for the review, please don't hesitate to reach out to us if there's ever anything else we can do to help. JD Jason D. Treasurer Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "HOA management made easy" July 28, 2026 5.0 Using this tool has allowed us as homeowners to bring the management in house. The ease of use and all of the expense and budget management tools as well as the reporting, messaging, and architectural review capabilities encompasses all the things needed to run the HOA easily. The tool also has 1099 reporting and other capabilities at your fingertips. Overall the this is a great tool for homeowner associations looking to bring the management in house. Pros I like that it is an easy platform with all the necessary tools for homeowners to manage an association by themselves. The expense management tools with the ability to categorize spend to budget lines and the easy reporting tools are great! Cons I really do not have anything negative to say about the tool. We have been really happy with the tool and its capabilities. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi Jason, we're glad to hear that the software has worked well for your community! Self-managing an HOA is a big commitment, and we're glad that PayHOA's budgeting, reporting, and expense tools have made that easier for you. Glad to have you as a PayHOA customer! Steve G. President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "PayHOA review " July 28, 2026 5.0 Overall, it’s been an excellent experience. Community feedback has been great and those on the board that are using the software enjoy the visibility, accessibility and being able to track how we are doing overall financially and other items. Pros Being able to modernize from using paper and pen to having an automated annuals due billing tracking and doing our financials. Cons The only issue that we’ve had is that the names cannot be merged together on billing. You can only send it to one name or the other name, especially if the household has two owners. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi Steve, we're happy to have been part of the transition from manual tools to automation - and that it's made a real difference for your community. Thanks for choosing PayHOA! BC Barbara C. Owner Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "PAYHOA for the WIN!" July 29, 2026 5.0 With the overall ease of use, if I were to be an HOA Management company, I would definitely use this product for all the HOAs I managed. Pros Customer Support is quite helpful and relatively quick to respond. The leadership of the company responds to emails, too! System setup is not cumbersome, just need to have the information available for property owners & contact info, unit number, etc and it actually moves along pretty quickly to set up the system. Bank reconciliation takes less than 5 minutes each month to complete. And setting up monthly report packets is quick & easy, which means (as the Administrator) I'm spending less time in the system each month. Cons There are some navigation & usage things I would change, like how to access documents. It's easy to find a document, but takes a moment to figure out how to open it. Maybe the button should say "Open"? Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Barbara, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We really appreciate the feedback and are glad that the system is working well for you, along with the support team being helpful and quick to respond. We are always working on the software, making improvements and releasing new features, so we hope your experience with PayHOA only gets better from here. Thank you for being a customer! Alan L. President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flexible, convenient, and inexpensive solution for managing HOA operations" July 29, 2026 5.0 Product is reliable and flexible. The PayHOA developers continue to enhance the product and provide new useful features like online voting. Pros The ability to communicate with our HOA members. It supports a variety of modalities - email, text, phone and supports online voting which is very convenient for polling members on minor issues or potential opportunities. Cons I've accidently deleted emails I'm in the midst of writing. It would be nice if the emailing was integrated with Gmail or with Apple Mail. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hey Alan, thanks for the review! It's good to hear that the communication options and online voting have made things more convenient for you and your members. Losing an in-progress email is frustrating, so thank you for sharing your feedback on that. As you mentioned, we are consistently working on improving the platform, so this type of information from customers is very helpful. Thank you for being a part of the PayHOA community! GG Greg G. Retired Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love the software but support can improve" January 15, 2026 3.0 Overall I love the features of the software and the fact I can access it from anywhere and from any device. The reports are tailored to what an HOA needs to deliver to it's residents and the financial features make running an HOA easy. They just need to have a better sense of urgency for their customers when something goes wrong. Pros Makes running all financials in our HOA very simple. From invoicing residents to budget reports, it does everything we need. The electronic voting that was recently added was a huge bonus for us as many residents leave for the winter. Cons While the support people are very nice to work with it takes a very long time to fix any issue. We lost all of our income and expense categories late last year leaving us essentially down. It took several weeks for a resolution. We currently have no transactions flowing from our bank for the last two weeks and still have no eta. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing PayHOA Pricing and features tailored to HOA boards Review Source Response from Pay HOA January 16, 2026 Greg, Thank you for the honest feedback. We're glad the software is working well for your financials and that the electronic voting feature came in handy with residents away for the winter. We hear you on the support experience, and we're sorry it's been frustrating. To provide some context, when the income and expense categories were removed, we worked to restore them along with the associated ledger data. That process does take time to get right, and we appreciate your patience while we work through it. As for bank transactions, the connection runs through a third-party provider, which can sometimes cause delays beyond our control. That said, we know it's still your experience with PayHOA, and we want it to be better. If you're still having issues, please reach out to our support team so we can look into it. We appreciate the feedback and are always working to improve. Thanks again for the review! DS Deborah S. Treasurer Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PAYHOA Review" July 30, 2026 4.0 Very good - easy to learn. It's nice to have someone to call if you are stuck finding particular items. Pros It can keep track of payments, violations, emails. You can get a better handle on your money spent. Great reports for tax time! Cons Nothing I dislike so far. Would like to see a better variety of reports to use although you can create reports. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Thank you for the review Deborah! Always good to hear that the tool helps with reporting at tax time and that it's easy to learn. Thanks for choosing PayHOA! EG Ebrahim G. Treasurer Facilities Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Solid Tool for Self-Managed HOAs" September 22, 2025 5.0 Overall, PayHOA has been a helpful platform for managing our small self-run HOA. It covers most of the basics we need—owner communication, dues collection, document sharing, and tracking violations—all in one place. The interface is clean, and once you get used to the workflow, it’s fairly intuitive. The automated payment reminders and ACH features have reduced the back-and-forth with owners and helped us stay on top of dues collection. I also appreciate the ability to email residents directly from the platform and store important records in one shared location. That said, the inability to connect our bank account (Salem Five Business) for automatic transaction syncing has added some manual work on the financial side. It’s not a dealbreaker given that the number of expenditures is less thsn 10 monthly, but something to be aware of depending on your bank. All in all, it’s a good fit for small to mid-sized communities that want an affordable and fairly easy-to-use system to streamline day-to-day operations without needing a professional management company. Pros PayHOA has been a solid tool for our self-managed HOA. A few highlights: •Security: The platform feels secure and trustworthy, especially for handling payments and owner banking information. We haven’t had any concerns around breaches or unauthorized access. •Value for Money: Compared to other platforms we considered, PayHOA is reasonably priced for what it offers. It covers core features like invoicing, owner communication, document storage, and financial tracking without feeling bloated or overpriced. •Customer Support: Their support team is responsive—most inquiries get a reply within a day or two, and they seem to genuinely try to help. That said, it’s mostly via email and some guides, so don’t expect a full support desk experience. •Information Access: Owners can log in to see their payment history, shared documents, and messages. From an admin side, I like the owner database, the ability to upload and organize files, and the ability to pull reports when needed. •Bugs and Issues: Overall, the platform is stable. There are occasional hiccups or slow loading pages, especially when switching between tabs or viewing financial summaries, but nothing that broke our workflow. •Email: Mass emails to the community are simple to set up and send. It’s convenient to be able to track communication logs tied to each owner. A few formatting limitations, but it gets the job done. •Payment: This is the strongest part. Owners can pay dues via ACH or card, and automatic reminders are a big help in cutting down on late payments. We can also track who’s paid and who hasn’t, export data, and apply late fees when needed. •Banking and Accounts: ACH payouts to our HOA bank account have worked reliably. Cons he biggest issue we’ve encountered is that PayHOA’s banking integration does not support our business account with Salem Five. As treasurer, this has been a real limitation—it means I have to manually enter or upload transactions instead of having them synced automatically. It’s a bit surprising that a tool designed for HOAs wouldn’t support more regional banks, especially for business accounts. I’d love to see them expand their list of supported institutions, or at least offer a workaround that doesn’t require duplicate data entry. Review Source Response from Pay HOA September 23, 2025 Ebrahim, Thank you so much for the detailed review and for highlighting how PayHOA supports your community in different ways. We’re glad to hear the platform has been a reliable and cost-effective solution for your association. We understand the challenge you’ve faced with bank integrations. Feedback like yours helps us prioritize improvements. We appreciate your trust and look forward to continuing to support your community. Thanks again! DM David M. Treasurer Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "PayHoa is great" June 12, 2026 5.0 It have been a positive experience for the board as well as a money saver for all our members. Dumping our management company and going to self management with PayHOA is probably the best decision the board could have made. As a long time board member I can strongly recommend PayHoa. Pros More control for the management of our hoa while saving valuable dollars. The software program is easy and intuitive for the board members as well as the owners. Cons There is a learning curve and more work for board members over our previous management company. The conversion from our management company did take some time and effort. Review Source Response from Pay HOA June 17, 2026 Hey David, Thanks for the great review and strong recommendation. We're really glad the move to self-management has given your board more control while saving your community real money, and that the platform has been easy to use for board members and owners alike. You're right that there's a learning curve when you take things in-house, and the conversion requires some upfront effort. We work hard to make that transition smooth, and our Knowledge Base (intercom.help/payhoa) and support team (support@payhoa.com) are there whenever you want a hand getting the most out of any given feature. Appreciate you being part of the PayHOA community! ME Micky E. Owner Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Satisfied with Service" May 19, 2026 5.0 I hit some bumps in the beginning, some were user error, and some were the system. After the emails or chats, most of the problems were quickly resolved. Pros The complete access to what is needed. I appreciate that I can keep all my memos in the same place so that I can review them when I need them. Cons I don't like how long it takes to get a personal response though the chat feature, however the information I receive is very helpful. Review Source Response from Pay HOA May 21, 2026 Hi Micky, Thanks for the review. We're glad having everything in one place, including your memos, has made things easier to manage. We hear you on chat response times. Our team works to get through chats as quickly as possible, but depending on the issue, some take a little longer to resolve. We're always working to improve, and if something's ever urgent, phone support is a great option. Glad to hear that once you connected with the team, things got sorted quickly. Appreciate you being part of the PayHOA community. ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
