President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Made Self-Managing Our HOA Actually Possible" July 28, 2026 5.0 Overall, PayHOA has let our all volunteer board do what would otherwise require a paid property management company, at a fraction of the cost. The transition from fully managed to self-managed could have been a lot rockier than it was, and PayHOA is a big part of why it went smoothly. Between the community communication tools, maintenance and architectural request tracking, and reasonably easy onboarding, it has become a core part of how we operate. The bank reconciliation gap is a real drawback, but it has not outweighed the overall value for us. Pros The feature that has made the biggest difference for us is the ability to send instant email and text blasts to the entire community. As a self-managed HOA, we rely heavily on our pressurized irrigation system, and when there is a shutoff or maintenance issue, being able to notify every resident right away has been huge. We have actually had residents thank us for the transparency and speed of communication, which was not something we could do when a third party was managing us. Maintenance requests and architectural committee approvals have also been genuinely useful. Instead of tracking these through scattered email threads, everything comes through the platform, gets routed appropriately, and there is a clear record of what was requested and approved. Getting stood up on PayHOA was also easier than expected. We transitioned from a fully managed HOA to a self-managed one, and onboarding was mostly self-serve, though it felt like support was there if we needed it. That mattered a lot going from a management company handling everything to an all volunteer board handling it ourselves. The platform also works well across different comfort levels. I am probably the power user on our board, while others mostly just respond to notifications for things like polls or architectural review requests, and PayHOA handles both of those use cases without friction. Cons The main friction point for us is the connection between invoices and payments in PayHOA and our actual bank account records. It does not feel fully connected, and reconciling the two takes more consistent attention than we are always able to give it. We are an all volunteer board, everyone has a full time job, and this is a side responsibility, so we are not always on top of it the way a dedicated bookkeeper would be. When we do stay on top of it, it works well and helps keep our balance sheet accurate, but the gap between the platform and our bank is something we notice. Alternatives considered [TownSq](https://www.capterra.com/p/179206/TownSq/)[Buildium](https://www.capterra.com/p/47428/Buildium-Property-Management-Software/) Reason for choosing PayHOA It had the right features/integrations, and it didn't break the bank. We are a small HOA and a management company has become unaffordable, so we are glad a right-size option exists Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi Joshua, Thanks for taking the time to give us a review and share your experiences. We're happy to hear that PayHOA has helped in a lot of ways, especially in terms of communication. It sounds like that was a pain point for you in the past, and it's great that PayHOA could help with that and other needs, such as architectural review requests. The need to reconcile invoices and payments in PayHOA and your bank account records is definitely an area that requires more hands on involvement from boards, although we hope the bank integrations make that at least a little easier. If you're ever interested, our team can offer some options to bridge the gap with some of that accounting work, although it sounds like you do a great job already. Managing an HOA as a volunteer with a full-time job is a lot of work, we're glad PayHOA could help. Thanks for being a customer, we're happy to have you! Dan H. Treasurer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PayHOA in Michigan" July 29, 2026 4.0 Overall esperience has been positive. I think things will be better as we learn the system as time goes on. Pros It provides good value because the interface is user friendly for staff and members. The software enables us to manage members properties and have access to information. PayHOA interfaces with Western Alliance Bank for ease of monthly reconciliation. Cons Customer support is helpful, but it takes time to get a response. Onboarding was DIY, and we missed some procedures that ended up causing wasted hours and re-entry of data. Alternatives considered [HOA Start](https://www.capterra.com/p/215897/HOA-Start/) Reason for choosing PayHOA Pricing, initial sales presentation, website builder Switched from [Sage 50 Accounting](https://www.capterra.com/p/174753/Sage-50cloud/) We needed a more comprehensive product that included communication. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Dan, glad the interface has worked well for both staff and members, and that the Western Alliance Bank integration has kept monthly reconciliation simple. The onboarding feedback stands out, no one should lose hours to re-entry from a rough setup. Thank you for sharing this experience, we hope to do better in the future. VR Verified Reviewer HOA President Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "HOA President " July 1, 2026 3.0 7 out of 10. See information above. I believe the tool is good but knowledge is limited resulting in under use Pros Auto payments, forms and email routing options. Having a central repository and reporting. I wish accounting was more robust to eliminate additional book keeper / cos firm costs. I believe it’s likely a verypowerful resource being under used by myself & HOA staff. More insight into capabilities is needed. Cons I believe it’s likely a very powerful resource being under used by myself & HOA staff. More insight into capabilities is needed. Support for HOA board tools & knowledge/ use of tool. Again likely under utilized. Solve FL website requirements so non technical staff can manage publishing Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Thanks for the review. It's good to hear that the automated payments, reporting, and central repository have been useful for the day to day. Sounds like there's more PayHOA can do for you than you're currently using, especially around accounting and getting your team more comfortable with the tool. We have some great Knowledge Base articles (on our website under Resources) and videos on our YouTube channel (youtube.com/@PayHOA) if you're interested in taking a look. Our support team is also very responsive, so please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have questions. We'd be happy to help and ensure you get what you need out of the tool. Samantha S. Treasurer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "5 Michelin Stars! " July 28, 2026 5.0 It is unbelievable how easy this is to use, how many features it has and how inexpensive the product is. Amazing value for the price. Pros The ability to link all of our bank accounts into one place. We can now see all transactions and issue vendor payments straight from the system. The reporting is beautiful and so relieving. We were in spreadsheets before this. Now the system takes care of reporting for us automatically. Cons We have 326 homes so the document repository grew really fast when we started utilizing it to store individual homeowner documents. I wish it had the ability to add/assign a document to a homeowner straight from the Documents tab. I wish it was organized better in the Documents tab if we've added documents to individual accounts. Alternatives considered [Easy HOA](https://www.capterra.com/p/237509/Easy-HOA/)[HOA Start](https://www.capterra.com/p/215897/HOA-Start/) Reason for choosing PayHOA The value. The price point for the features included seems highly valuable and it was at a price we can afford in our budget. You should know, your text box did not allow me to select any of the real vendors we were selecting from. We were choosing between: CASA LLC, Robson Property Management, PMI Green Country, Green Country HOA, and JellyBird HOA Management. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) This text box would not let me put our real vendor which was HOA Guru. HOA Guru had hardly any features and was very difficult to use from an administrative perspective. It was also owned and operated by one person; who is coincidentally retiring. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi Samantha, Thanks for the review - love the title! It's great to hear that PayHOA has been valuable for your community, especially in terms of reporting and features. The feedback on document organization for a community with several hundred units is also helpful, thank you for sharing that with us. It sounds like you had a very thorough selection process as well, with a diverse array of vendors. We're happy that PayHOA came out on top and that you're part of the PayHOA community now. Welcome!

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. Alternatives considered [Mail Assure](https://www.capterra.com/p/178413/Mail-Assure/) Reason for choosing PayHOA Ease of use, cost. Transparency, and it does everything we need.

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! James H. Board of Director's Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great HOA Management and Blling Software Solution!" August 14, 2026 5.0 Our overall experience has been excellent. Training for board members as well as HOA members has gone smoothly. When we have had to call support the specialists have been friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this online solution to any HOA. Pros The fact that we can manage all aspects of running our newly formed HOA without having to pay an outside agency to do it for us. This made our costs much lower and gave us flexibility to manage it whenever we wanted. The features worked for us and they continue to provide value add. In addition the customer support has been excellent. Cons Like anything we'd love for it to be cheaper and/or free. It would be nice if there was a way to email an approved request form so that homeowners can prove that requests have been approved to outside agencies. Alternatives considered [HOA Start](https://www.capterra.com/p/215897/HOA-Start/) Reason for choosing PayHOA PayHOA had better pricing for similar features. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 James, this is what PayHOA is all about. Making self-management possible. We're happy to see that it's working so well for your community and has resulted in solid cost savings. It's great to hear you've had a great experience with our support team as well. We hear that over and over again, and it never gets old. Appreciate you sharing your experience! 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! David C. Property Management Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "You need to switch already!" August 26, 2026 5.0 It has been great, extremely user-friendly, and, in general, very intuitive. When I have needed support, I have been able to talk to someone quickly and get an answer to my issue. Pros It helps me combine the Association website with the Property Financial Management system. I am not switching between portals. Cons Nothing so far; there are some features I would like to see, but I understand those are in development right now. Looking forward to having them available! Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Cost and the fact that I needed a separate module for the community website Review Source Response from Pay HOA September 18, 2026 Hi David, thanks for the kind review! It's good to hear that the platform has been user friendly and helpful so far, but we're particularly happy to hear that you're looking forward to new features. We're constantly updating and improving the platform and are very excited about some of the new functionality that's in the works now. We hope you enjoy it when it's released! 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. Daniel B. Member of the Board Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great platform for condo association management" August 13, 2026 5.0 Switched from a property management company to self-management which is why we are now using PayHOA. The transition was smooth and the experience so far is excellent. Pros User friendly, purpose-built for managing condo associations, well priced. All the features needed to manage an association are there. Excellent handling of communications to and from owners. We also are using the bookkeeping services. Cons Only allows uploading of documents, not of entire folders. Otherwise, after using the product for 1 month, it all seems quite good Alternatives considered [CINC](https://www.capterra.com/p/143799/CINC-Systems/)[Condo Control](https://www.capterra.com/p/143800/Condo-Control/)[HOA Start](https://www.capterra.com/p/215897/HOA-Start/) Reason for choosing PayHOA More user friendly, offered bookkeeping service Switched from [CINC](https://www.capterra.com/p/143799/CINC-Systems/) We moved to self-management, and chose PayHOA over all other platforms including CINC - we felt CINC was cumbersome and not user friendly Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 19, 2026 Thanks for the review, Daniel. We're glad PayHOA has made the transition to self-management smooth and that your experience has been excellent. Please feel free to reach out if you ever need anything. ME Marsha E. Treasurer Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PayHOA Was a Real Game Changer OUr Invoicing & Payment Processing" August 14, 2026 5.0 I have been extremely pleased with PHOA both as a program and with the support provided by its employees. Some examples: 1. PayHOA generates all of our invoices and processes all incoming payments through their system. Previously I was doing all of this myself. I actually burned up my printer. 2. The PayHOA RULES feature expedites categorizing both receipts and expenditures by automatically assigning them to the designated categories. 3. PayHOA prints and mails all correspondence to our homeowners. Previously, we paid a local office supply business to print them & we stuffed & mailed them ourselves. All our board members are volunteers and all these features have saved us a tremendous amount of time and headaches. Pros I am the treasurer for a small HOA. Before I located PayHOA, I was handling all invoicing and receipts myself. Each invoice had to be printed, stuffed, and mailed individually. Checks came into our post office box and then had to be sorted, posted, and deposited manually. In addition, we had no way to process credit card payments. Even though Tour HOA is small by some standards, the whole process was still very time-consuming and burdensome. PayHOA took over those tasks and also let us accept credit card payments, which many of our homeowners had been asking for. It was a real game changer for me. PayHOA also has an excellent support team. They are very personable and were extremely helpful to me when I first set up the program. Cons Since we are a small HOA there are many features of PayHOA that we don't use. Its primary purpose is processing all of our financial transactions. The only feature that I initially disliked has since been redesigned. That has to do with the initial creation of the chart of accounts, though you still have to go under the BUDGET menu option in order to set it up. Reason for choosing PayHOA I was using Quickbooks at the time.and I looked at several programs offered online . I don't remember what they were now . I chose PayHOA specifically because they could migrate our data from Quickbooks into their system, eliminating the need for me to have to re input everything. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Marsha, I just responded to your other review on G2. Thanks for sharing your feedback here as well. The printer comment still has us laughing! We felt that on a very real level. IL Ivy L. Owner Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Platform, but Limited Customer Support" August 4, 2026 4.0 PayHOA is a very intuitive and easy-to-use platform. The system is straightforward to navigate, the pricing is clear, and many of the features are simple to understand without extensive training. However, what our team liked least was the lack of reliable, personalized customer support. I scheduled several calls, but no one attended or followed up, and we often had to rely on the AI chatbot or YouTube videos for assistance. While we think PayHOA is a great system overall, our team has decided that we need a platform that offers more consistent, one-on-one support during onboarding and as questions arise. Pros What I liked most about PayHOA was how intuitive and easy the platform was to use. It was straightforward to navigate, simple to learn, and the pricing was clear and easy to understand. Cons What I liked least about PayHOA was the customer service. I scheduled several calls, but no one showed up or followed through. The AI chatbot was often more responsive and attentive than the actual support team. Switched from [Buildium](https://www.capterra.com/p/47428/Buildium-Property-Management-Software/) We ultimately decided to switch to Buildium because it felt more aligned with our company’s long-term goals. While PayHOA is a great, easy-to-use platform, we preferred Buildium’s overall layout and felt that its features would better support our team as we continue to grow. The personalized onboarding experience also made a significant difference. Having a dedicated training advisor who could meet with us one-on-one, answer our questions, and guide us through the system gave our team the level of support we were looking for. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi Ivy, Hi Ivy, I'm very sorry to hear support didn't show up for you, especially when you'd scheduled calls and no one followed through. That's not the experience we want for anyone. I understand you decided to make a change to Buildium, but we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us regardless. We will make sure it is passed along to our team so we can better serve customers in the future. Thank you for giving PayHOA a chance and an honest review. Best of luck with your community. 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. TA Trina A. Property Management Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A property managers right hand" July 28, 2026 4.0 I am very pleased with PayHOA. It is easy to use, convenient and its helps me keep track of the finances Pros Its easy to use. Association members like the ease of access. Lots of good features that assist with communications to members Cons There have been a few instances when the autopay feature has not worked effectively. However, the problems were easily rectified. Alternatives considered [Condo Control](https://www.capterra.com/p/143800/Condo-Control/) Reason for choosing PayHOA I chose PayHOA due to the available features, cost, and for ease of setup, especially on the user side. I onboarded 3 communities around the same time and I like that I can easily toggle between the three. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi Trina, Thanks for choosing PayHOA, it's good to hear that you've been able to easily onboard and manage three different communities in the platform. We try to build the software to make management as easy as possible, and our team is fantastic. We're glad that any issues you experienced were resolved quickly. Happy to have you in the PayHOA community! MB Martin B. Webmaster Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "PayHOA Saved Summer Wind HOA in a crunch when it needed to invest in a new accounting system" May 9, 2026 5.0 PayHOA was very responsive by providing online demonstration and education sessions, along with extensive instruction videos and manuals. The software is very intuitive and doesn't require much instruction to use. Onboarding was accomplished easily much of it importing csv files created from QuickBooks export csv files with some manipulation. Support is readily available and issues resolved quickly even responding to enhancement requests when possible. The website builder allowed us to forego annual costs of maintaining a separate website and accounting system and allowed us to use our existing domain name. Pros PayHOA affordably met the needs of our 73 Home HOA when we needed a new billing system in 6 weeks. We were able to import most of the homeowner and fiscal data from the previous fiscal year and ready automatic billing in just a few weeks. Some manual entry was required but didn't take more than a few hours total for 12 months of data. Security permissions are robust. Cons The website builder is not able to publish links to documents that we want to make available to the general public without a secure login. Switched from [Network Solutions Website Builder](https://www.capterra.com/p/234398/Network-Solutions-Website-Builder/) QuickBooks ended support for desktop version, and we could no longer create invoices. So, we looked for a total solution to offset the cost of both accounting and website maintenance Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hey Martin, thanks for the great review. We're happy to hear that switching from QuickBooks Desktop went smoothly, with minimal manual work and that our support team has been responsive. A robust platform that's easy to use is our goal, so it's great that PayHOA is able to be that total solution for your community. Welcome to the PayHOA community, we're glad you're here! 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! Ken V. 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. VR Verified Reviewer Member at Large Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A must have for medium/large neighborhood HOA with 50+ units" July 28, 2026 4.0 For a SaaS platform to help a board manage their neighborhood, its affordable and provides lots of good data and documentation for tracking, accounting and decision-making. The goal of the software is to consolidate a lot of info and it does that in a good, intuitive way for a UX that works for even the unsavvy tech users (admins and homeowners). Pros The biggest pros are the intuitive navigation from dashboard, where even less tech-capable board members can easily find/use. I think the other big pro is PayHOA's workflows for board member voting, which really streamlines the approval process for architectural requests, etc. Cons Would be better if the Requests section would force users to create separate requests from compound requests (situation being, if a homeowner has 2requests the voting workflow is messed up if we want to Approve one request and Deny the other - happened a few times). Would be nice if there was a way for the platform to let mortgage companies know all the info they need about neighborhood, HOA dues, etc. Would also be nice if there was a booking function or integration app for clubhouse/party reservation where neighborhood can do more community items in an automated way. Otherwise, there are more Pros than Cons. :) Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Thank you for the review! We're glad the dashboard has worked well even for less tech-savvy board members, and that the voting workflow has been a real help streamlining architectural approvals. The feedback on additional functionality is helpful as well. We have a few features already build in that may be able to help in some ways, including resale documents and amenity scheduling, but it sounds like there are opportunities to build out functionality more in the future as well. We're constantly releasing updates to the software, so feedback like this is very helpful, thank you for sharing. We're glad that overall PayHOA is a must-have for your community. We're glad to have you as a customer! VR Verified Reviewer Secretary Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Use of PayHOA in a unique RV park." August 8, 2026 4.0 I started my role at my organization without training and had to learn on the fly. PayHOA made that relatively easy. Pros Ability to send emails to all tenants at the same time. The organization of tenants and ability to add specialized information to each individual tenant. The ability to do customized reports. Cons Having to remember to go to view in order to see any documents in the application. Not being able to link to documents when sending an email. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Thanks for the review. Cool to see the success from an RV park's perspective! The platform really does work well for any type of community association. 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! 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! EO Erika O. Treasurer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Self Management with PayHOA" May 14, 2026 5.0 Overall, PayHOA is a strong option for self-managed HOAs seeking an affordable and user-friendly platform, especially for communities willing to invest some time into properly structuring their accounting and operational workflows. Pros Value for Money: One of PayHOA’s strongest features is affordability. For smaller and mid-sized HOAs looking to self-manage, the pricing structure is very reasonable compared to many competitors. The owner portal, payment processing, communication tools, and accounting features provide a solid foundation without the high monthly management costs. Customer Support: Customer support has generally been responsive and willing to assist, especially during setup and troubleshooting. However, some accounting-related questions can require multiple follow-ups, particularly when dealing with more advanced HOA accounting scenarios such as reserve accounting, prior year adjustments, and bank reconciliation cleanup. Ease of Use: The platform is relatively easy to learn for board members and self-managed associations. Owners also find the portal simple to navigate for payments and account access. Day-to-day tasks like posting announcements, managing owner information, and collecting assessments are straightforward. User Interface: The interface is clean and modern compared to older HOA software systems. Navigation is intuitive overall, although some accounting workflows could be organized more clearly, especially around chart of accounts setup, equity accounts, and reserve reporting. Cons Unable to pay vendors via ACH/Electronic Payment. Payment via check is time consuming, can take up to 12 days for vendor to receive the payment. While the platform works well for most daily operations, there are occasional limitations and reporting inconsistencies when handling more complex accounting adjustments. Certain transactions, such as reserve expenses, transfers between accounts, and historical corrections, can sometimes appear in ways that distort financial reports if not carefully configured. Review Source Response from Pay HOA May 15, 2026 Thanks for taking the time to share your experience here and on G2, Erika. We appreciate you sharing your feedback on both sites. A clean, modern interface that works for boards and owners, plus pricing that adds up for self-managed HOAs, is exactly the foundation we set out to build. It's great to hear that's how PayHOA has landed for your community. We hear you on the accounting workflows and vendor payment timing. We've passed the feedback to our product team, and if you ever want to talk through specific scenarios, our support team (support@payhoa.com) is happy to help. Thanks again for being part of the PayHOA community! LM Lyudmila M. Board Member Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "General opiniton" August 1, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with PayHOA has been positive. The platform is easy to use, and most tasks can be completed quickly without unnecessary complications. Paying HOA dues is convenient, and the system generally works as expected. While I would appreciate clearer connections between transactions and how payments are applied to HOA dues, that has been my only minor concern. Aside from that, the platform has been reliable and efficient, making it simple to manage my account and stay on top of payments. So far, it has met my expectations and provided a smooth, convenient experience. Pros What I like most about PayHOA is how easy and straightforward the entire process is. The platform is user-friendly, making it simple to navigate and complete tasks without confusion. Paying HOA dues is quick, secure, and convenient, saving time compared to traditional payment methods. I also appreciate the clear account information and payment history, which make it easy to keep track of transactions. The system is reliable and works smoothly, giving me confidence that payments are processed accurately and on time. Overall, PayHOA provides a hassle-free experience that makes managing HOA payments simple, efficient, and stress-free. Cons What I liked least about PayHOA was the connection between transactions and HOA dues. It was sometimes difficult to clearly understand how individual payments were applied to specific charges or outstanding balances. A more transparent link between each transaction and the corresponding HOA dues would make it easier to verify payment accuracy and track account activity. Improving the way payment details are displayed, such as showing which dues a payment covers and providing clearer transaction descriptions, would enhance the overall user experience. Better visibility into payment allocation would make account management more efficient and reduce potential confusion. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi Lyudmila, thank you for sharing your experience with us and the positive review. We're happy to hear that PayHOA has made a lot of things easier for your community, including paying dues. The feedback on the transaction process is also helpful. We are always working on the platform, making updates and releasing new features, so direct customer feedback like this is helpful as we move forward. Thank you again for sharing and choosing PayHOA. Natasha L. treasurer Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "HOA Treasurer" August 10, 2026 5.0 Our experience has been excellent. As a self-managed HOA, we needed software that was both affordable and capable of handling accounting, homeowner communication, assessments, and recordkeeping. PayHOA has met those needs while remaining easy to use. The combination of modern technology with responsive human support gives us confidence that we can always get help when situations become more complex than AI alone can handle. Pros PayHOA is affordable for small self-managed HOAs and provides all the essential tools we need. The platform is easy to use, and the accounting, owner portal, online payments, and invoicing have made managing our association much more organized. What really stands out is their customer support. While AI is helpful for simple questions, having access to knowledgeable live support agents who understand the nuances of HOA management has been invaluable. Cons There is a learning curve when setting up the system for the first time, especially if you're transitioning from another platform or rebuilding records. Some advanced workflows could benefit from additional tutorials. Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Natasha, thanks so much for the detailed review. We're happy to hear that PayHOA is working so well in so many different areas. It seems like you're getting a lot of really valuable use in a lot of different areas of the platform, which is great. No surprise to us. It's also great to hear about your positive experience with customer support. You nailed it with the learning curve. That's to be expected. Hopefully, learning the platform and onboarding will get even easier with some of the new AI enhancements we're working on currently. Keep an eye out for those. We appreciate you being part of PayHOA! Phil K. Past Board President Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for a small HOA" July 28, 2026 5.0 The software has made almost all of the HOA's processes more efficient and effective at a reasonable cost. The Financial tools have simplified the Treasurer's tasks the most, but all Board members duties are less burdensome. Pros PayHOA’s financial tools have made annual dues collection, budget development and expense tracking far more efficient than our previous methods. These tools clearly have made the Treasurer’s job much more manageable, while also allowing the budgeting process to be far mor collaborative. The request tools have greatly improved our process for home owners to submit special requests such as Architectural Committee Review and Reimbursement Requests. This process is simple, but provides excellent tracking of all submissions and their current status. Cons There is a small learning for new Board Members to become proficient in using the software. The general communication tools allow only one way communication (Board to Residents) Review Source Response from Pay HOA August 17, 2026 Hi Phil, thanks for the great review! Our mission is to make a difficult, volunteer job easier, and it's always good to hear from customers who have had a good experience with the platform. I'm glad the work is more manageable for your Treasurer (and hopefully the rest of your board), especially after they get up to speed. Thanks for being a PayHOA customer!
