Treasurer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Top HOA software" October 30, 2026 5.0 Great! It really takes the work out of tracking expenses and owners for a community. Tax returns with them are a breeze! Pros Ease to get setup and running for my community. I uploaded a document and all the units were created. Cons The AI support is off track sometimes. It have to ask for a human sometimes because we’re not on the same page. Review Source Michael H. Treasurer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "HOA Treasurer" October 21, 2026 4.0 It was a little too much for us. We are a small HOA and just didn't need all the features it provided. The support staff was helpful in trying to resolve some of the issues we had. Pros This is a very thorough package. It covers pretty much everything an HOA needs. The support staff was knowledgeable and accessible. Cons We had trouble getting the dashboard to display the correct numbers. Individual tabs were correct but the dashboard seemed to be picking up data from somewhere else. Review Source MS Martin S. Principal Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Multiple site management company use" October 11, 2026 5.0 Overall a good experience. Coming off of a more robust RealPage product, PayHOA holds its own very well. Customer support personnel are very helpful, although at times lightweight. Pros ease of use, good customer support both via email and phone, easy for homeowner to set up, good value for the cost. Cons weak in report writing although most needs can be met, can't save reports in Excel format, not a lot of onboarding one on one - although not particularly needed. Review Source AJ Abigail J. Bookkeeper Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "A really solid, user-friendly property management system" September 21, 2026 5.0 Pros The owner portal has been excellent for collecting monthly payments, fines, fees, etc. With almost everyone on autopay, it has greatly simplified taking payments, and gives both the owners and board/managers visibility. The UI is pretty straightforward and the value is excellent. We have always gotten prompt, useful replies when we have had questions or run into issues. There are features we don't use, but for our purposes, it's great. Cons It doesn't integrate with external bookkeeping platforms like QBO or Xero. That makes sense, since PayHOA offers basic financial reporting; but it does lock users into the PayHOA ecosystem. Review Source Josh M. HOA Treasurer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "High Value HOA Management SAAS " September 15, 2026 5.0 I’ve had a great experience with Pay HOA; the software is reliable, and the staff is good at what they do, and the price is reasonable. That’s about all you can ask for. Pros Pay HOA is a very good value for the money. Their tiered pricing system was ideal for our small community. The tool is very easy to use, but when you need support, the Customer Support team is very responsive. There are a lot of features, including transaction classification, budgeting, data reporting, invoicing, payable management, a voting module, an API with a bank (AAB), 1099 processing support (extra fee), accounting support (extra fee), a voting module, and more. Cons There are some minor user interface bugs, especially with newer modules (e.g., voting), but the team is good about addressing these quickly, and over time they reside. The Pay HOA team needs to improve the security measures and automation features related to their direct bank API with Alliance Association Bank (AAB). The current processes for opening new bank accounts with AAB (via PayHOA’s API setup) are not handled via software-based work flows; it’s all over email, which feels unprofessional in the modern banking environment. In addition, some information that is handled by email should not be; they need to use encrypted networks for the transfer of sensitive information. I have honestly been quite shocked by the AAB API process. Everything with PayHOA seems secure, smooth and seemless, but not the AAB API account setup process. It needs improvement to meet the high bar of modern banking. Once accounts are setup, it’s smooth, but the account setup process and account data exchange process needs work. There also needs to be an automatic password reset option for the AAB accounts. I should not have to email someone to reset my password. I find this unacceptable.

Pros It handles accounting, communications, architectural review, and document management in one place, and the pricing is fair relative to the feature set — we didn't feel we were paying for bloat or missing critical tools. Cons Where PayHOA falls short is usability. As someone with a software development background, I've found the interface non-intuitive, particularly around menu naming — labels often don't clearly reflect the function behind them. This isn't just a personal nitpick: I regularly field questions from other board members who can't find how to complete basic tasks because the navigation doesn't guide them there. Other platforms we looked at made this kind of navigation feel a lot more natural. The other weak spot is the website builder. It's currently bare-bones — functional enough that we're still using it but it is limited enough that we're actively considering moving that piece to WordPress or another dedicated service. Review Source Dana H. Vice President of Operations Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "A Must have integrated self managed HOA management tool " September 3, 2026 5.0 I am extremely happy with PayHOA in the services that include a website builder, resident messaging board, notifications links via email and text, and the ability to address maintenance issues and concerns in real time. Pros The ease of integration with our existing data and banking network. Also, the online training tools and personal training opportunities provided Board members with a thorough understanding of the product. Cons We are just ending our trial period and so far there is nothing about the product that I have identified as not being useful. Review Source Jyoti P. Society member of Piscataway commons complex Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Vice president at Piscatway commons " September 1, 2026 5.0 It’s good, i haven’t explored all but so far it’s good and really helpful doing our work faster. Worthof money Pros Easy view, good menu arrangements, demo video helped me to understand how to access site and its features Cons I can not upload video, I wanted to send one complaint about leakage in this case sending video .mov file is important Review Source R Reviewer President Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "PayHOA Review" September 1, 2026 4.0 Overall, it has been a solid experience. It is very affordable as well, which is much-appreciated. We stopped using a property management company and brought everything in house, and PayHOA has made that a pretty seamless transition. Pros It provides an easy-to-use and streamlined platform that allows me to manage my homeowner's association. It helps with bookkeeping, keeping up with maintenance requests, mass communication, and sending out invoices/collecting payments. Cons It can be a little finicky from time to time. Sometimes information is presented in slightly broken ways (information overlapping each other in the Units section for example). I think the bookkeeping tools are mostly easy to use, but I wish I could customize (add/remove) categories for the bank transactions. If there is a way to do so, I can't figure it out, so it could probably stand to be a little easier. Review Source Cesar G. Treasurer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Game-changer" September 1, 2026 5.0 Pay HOA has completely simplified how we run our community. Everything lives in one place — no more bouncing between spreadsheets, emails, and separate tools. The dashboard is clean and easy to use, even for board members or homeowners who aren't tech-savvy. Homeowners love the flexibility to pay online, whether it's a single payment or setting up automatic recurring payments — it's cut down on late payments and back-and-forth reminders. Pay HOA also handles our tax filing, which has been a huge relief and saved us hours of work. On top of that, we can track homeowner projects right in the platform, so nothing falls through the cracks. Overall, it's made running our HOA so much smoother. Highly recommend it to any community looking to simplify their operations. Pros Pay HOA has been a game-changer for managing our HOA. It keeps everything in one place — no more juggling spreadsheets, emails, and separate tools. The dashboard is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate, even for board members who aren't tech-savvy. Highly recommend for any community looking to simplify HOA management. Cons I don't have any complains. Overall, Pay HOA has made running our HOA feel manageable instead of overwhelming. It's intuitive, comprehensive, and has genuinely improved how our board operates day to day. I'd recommend it without hesitation to any community association looking to simplify their operations.

It preserves all of our documents securely, keeps our records centralized, and makes day‑to‑day administration smooth and stress‑free. The built‑in templates and forms are a huge advantage — they streamline communication, improve consistency, and save us valuable time. Pros PayHOA has been an outstanding platform for our self‑managed Association. As the Treasurer of a 59‑home community, I can confidently say this is the best solution available for HOAs that want to operate efficiently without the cost of hiring a property manager. Cons No issues or concerns to report at this time. The system is user friendly and easy to navigate across the different options within the platform. Review Source R Reviewer Treasurer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Good program" March 26, 2026 3.0 Generally good. This program has great potential and I'm excited to see it develop. Unfortunately, it feels like I'm a tester. Pros Ease of use. This is very user friendly and has great potential as a one stop shop for everything related to the HOA Cons Financial and bookkeeping. This area still needs work. The system seems to run on a delay and not real time. The bank transactions only update once a day and the reports do not all tie into the same numbers. This area needs a CPA to oversee the final beta testing to ensure accuracy in reporting. Review Source Larry S. Treasurer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "A very good solution to use to self manage your HOA's membership and accounting." July 29, 2026 5.0 Very pleased with quality of support and potential of the software as it continues to improve by adding enhancements. Pros It is easy to manage HOA owners and to communicate with them on things of community interest. I especially like the Tagging feature. Cons Cost to mail letters and process payment of annual dues is easy and very good but I wish these services were not on West Coast as I on the East Coast and USPS struggles and disappoints a good bit. Review Source CW Cole W. Treasurer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Love it! Perfect software for the small HOA to self-manage!" August 19, 2026 5.0 We are so happy we moved to the PayHOA platform. The product continues to improve and provide additional features. When we needed support, our concerns were addressed promptly! Overall, we have had a wonderful experience transitioning from a managed HOA to self-managed which is only possible because of PayHOA. Would recommend! Pros It really is the ease of use and backend administration. Moving to self-management after years of a management company, our HOA has saved $10,000s of dollars. Our board can quickly approve things and our homeowners now have a solid system to submit requests, complaints, and pay for invoices. Love it! Cons The AI in the accounting. This feature is definitely not ready for the primetime yet. Needs some more work. Review Source R Reviewer HOA President Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Rangewood Villas HOA review of PayHOA" August 24, 2026 4.0 Overall this has been a pleasant change from keeping track of all the HOA business by spreadsheet or individual documents. Pros Tracking monthly assessment payments. Tracking the finances overall. Keeping receipts easily accessible. Keeping meeting agendas and minutes accessible to all. Cons It's not easy to add a non-owner to the site. It appears to prefer only one name to each address. We have several units that we need to send some stuff to the owner and other stuff to the tenant. Review Source Verified Reviewer Treasure Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Lots of features for a good price " August 19, 2026 5.0 It was easy to start, the customer support is good and ready to help. Overall I felt like it was the best of what I could find that would fit our community. Pros Easy to setup, central location for all documents that could be shared with hte community and just the board. Easy to send out community poles. Cons bank integration could be better, it took some effort to get setup and syncing. The support team was helpful once I ran into an issue. Review Source Pat K. Board President Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Excellent Product For HOA Mgmt (Recommended!) " July 30, 2026 5.0 It is been very good. Certainly some learning curve but the support has been stellar. Particularly in the early days when we were First Learning , we had many questions and we always got rapid response from their support team. As we progress in our skills , this of course helps us find out new things that we do not under within the system to help you seek answers is helpful about 70% of the time and when it's not we get a response from the support team. Pretty cool! Pros Probably the most helpful thing on a daily basis is the ability to manage invoices and payments. With this feature we are able to send out the emails with invoices , or if necessary for those we do not have email addresses for, by US mail. Then our property owners are able to make their payments directly through the system either by a check or ACH transaction with their Bank. This is incredibly helpful for our Treasurer on a day-to-day basis and keeps us on top of who has paid and who has not. Cons There is not a lot to say here. The product is really good and is getting better all the time. So I cannot really say if something I like least , rather there are features I would like to see added. Review Source R Reviewer President Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "PayHOA - Easy and Effective HOA Management" August 2, 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. Review Source Carl G. Treasurer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "PayHOA review by Sunrise at Rivers Bend" August 19, 2026 5.0 This has truly been a game changer for our HOA. It makes paying vendors so easy, links to our bank account. Provides multiple templates and the interface is so easy to use. Pros Ease of use and the multitude of features that cover every aspect of having an HOA and the requirements. Cons I wish uploading documents like CCR’s and Bylaws and meeting minutes was easier. I was able to do it but getting or creating concise pathways to the folders required a little learning curve. Review Source Marsha E. Treasurer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "PayHOA Was a Real Game Changer OUr Invoicing & Payment Processing" August 17, 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. Review Source Daniel H. Treasurer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "PayHOA in Michigan" July 30, 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. Review Source R Reviewer VP Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Good so far" June 2, 2026 4.0 Good so far, much better than what we have been doing in the past. It takes residents some getting used to, but its being accepted at a good rate. Pros Streamlines a lot of every day task into easier options. The ability to look up a certain home or owner to answer queations helpsnout a lot. Cons Some bugs that need to be addressed and a few areas that could be improved greatly with a simple change. Review Source James H. Board of Director's Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great HOA Management and Blling Software Solution!" August 16, 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. Review Source CCEHOA P. President Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "PayHOA for Organization" August 4, 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. Review Source Anthony A. Treasurer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great product for self-directed HOA boards " July 29, 2026 5.0 We are loving the product. It costs a third of what we were spending on 3rd party management services, and greatly improved our quality of life as board members. We no longer have to wait weeks for responses to simple homeowner questions, and (thanks to PayHOA's detailed communications tracking) we can be confident our communications are reaching our homeowners consistently! Pros PayHOA is a marked improvement for our HOA board in visibility into the details of our homeowners, properties, and transactions. We can be confident that we're making decisions based on the latest information, and when inaccuracies are find we have the ability to directly fix them! Cons The new voting module is a great addition, but not fully baked yet. The inability to filter/adjust voting pools based on tags or owed balances is a notable miss.
