March 4, 2025 5.0 Meets all expectations, customer service has been very helpful Pros Easy interface, easy to send messages, payment reconciliation is straightforward Cons It would be great to connect PayHOA to Zoom, so that we could send HOA meetings with links to join - currently we can send an invite, but through the Zoom interface with direct links etc. Review Source Response from Pay HOA March 13, 2025 Thanks for the review, Brandon! VM Vito M. President Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "So far-so great transition. " January 1, 2026 5.0 I’d say it’s been pleasant with great customer service and follow-up. There support staff knows the product and is quick with solutions. Pros The Customer support by PayHoa is top shelf. My expectation is to get a call back within a day but they normally call back within hours. The chat A-I service also is very intuitive and solves our issue in the fly. Our staff can pick up the phone and normally reach someone live for assistance. I also liked the conversion process from our old systems. We were able to do a massive data dump by exporting into a txt file, formatting into the PAYHOA template and they uploaded into the site for us. There was 30 years worth of member info and It saved us at a minimum of 200 key strokes per member and at 1100 members I calculate the total key stokes at +200,000 and 100s of employee hours. Cons I’m not sure why they chose the name PayHoa as once we fully transition we will net a “SAVINGS” HOA and streamline HOA verses the numerous out dated programs we used to have in place. Our member data files were actually DOS based. Switched from [Sesame Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/171376/Sesame-Software/) Old and outdated. The support was non existent. Review Source Response from Pay HOA January 6, 2026 Thank you for the detailed review, Vito. We're glad the transition from your old systems has gone smoothly and that our team helped with the data migration. Uploading 30 years of member info and saving hundreds of employee hours is a huge win, and we're proud to have played a part in that. It's also great to hear that our support team has exceeded expectations. Knowing you can pick up the phone and reach someone who knows the product and can solve problems quickly is precisely the experience we want every customer to have. As for the name, we'll take "SavingsHOA" as a compliment! CR Catherine R. Member Facilities Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Ordinary home owner " March 6, 2026 3.0 It's ok. But I haven't used a portal like this in the past, so I have nothing to compare it to. But it's ok so far Pros Easy to pay homeowners dues It's Good for receiving email blasts from the community management board Cons Too soon to say We have only been using it for a few months. Probably my biggest problem is unsolicited emails Review Source Response from Pay HOA March 9, 2026 Hi Catherine, Thank you for the review. We're glad the platform has made it easy to pay your dues and stay connected with your community through email updates. That's exactly what we're here for. On the email concern, we'd love to help you get that sorted.

If this is an issue with emails from your community, our support team (support@payhoa.com) can walk you through your notification preferences so you're only getting the messages that matter to you. It's a quick fix, and they're happy to help. Appreciate you being part of the PayHOA community. CK Catherine K. Retired Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PayHOA Review" January 22, 2026 5.0 Professional and friendly staff, who are extremy patient as we ramp up. The website is user friendly. Great enhancements (on-line voting & Homewise Docs) are added regularly. Pros Customer support is fantastic - using rhe built in tool or scheduling a quick 15 min video training session are extremely helpful. Great bang for the buck - the HOA is saving a lot of money, compared to the Property Management company previously used. We are able to easily post documents for Board and/or homeowner access. Cons Our homeowners have expressed a desire for an app. Homeowners (both on PCs and/or phones) have experienced webpage slowness. 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 More features and services available or coming soon (i.e. online viting & Homewise Docs). Review Source Response from Pay HOA January 23, 2026 Catherine, we appreciate the review. We're glad PayHOA is saving your HOA money compared to your previous management company, and that our support team has been patient and helpful as you've ramped up. It's great to hear you're taking advantage of features like online voting and Homewise Docs. We're always adding new enhancements, and there's a lot more on the way. And speaking of new features... Good news: a mobile app is in the works! Stay tuned on that front. Lastly, if you continue to experience slowness with the webpages/application, please reach out to our support team so we can look into it (support@payhoa.com).

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.

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! VC Vincent C. President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "President of the Board of Directors" January 27, 2026 4.0 PayHOA is a great platform but comes with a lot of overhead from the company.. there are assumed items that they just think you know right off the bat where we were left in the dark from our prior management company... it made a very difficult transition. Overall the platform is great but we wish there was a little more customization for communities that our unique like ours.. Overall still enjoy the project JB and the support staff have been great in supporting us since our onboarding.. issues tend to get resolved quickly. Pros Easy initial setup with minimal technological knowledge required. The application is also easy to use from a homeowner perspective Cons Its hard to manage accounting... balance does not true up the way cash accounting would expect... Lack of support on finances in documented resources Switched from [Vantaca](https://www.capterra.com/p/230892/Vantaca/) Prior management company required this product Review Source Response from Pay HOA February 4, 2026 Thank you for the review, Vincent. We're glad the setup was straightforward and that the platform has been easy for your homeowners to use. We hear your feedback on the accounting experience and documentation. We're always looking to improve, and input like yours helps us make the platform better for everyone. If you'd like to share more details or talk through any specific challenges, our support team would be happy to connect. It's great to hear that JB and the team have been responsive since your onboarding. That's exactly what we strive for. If anything else comes up, don't hesitate to reach out. DH Daniel H. Treasurer Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "PayHOA: A Complete Solution" December 31, 2025 5.0 Our board of directors and members have been very happy with PayHOA so far. We enrolled late in the summer of 2025, and the transition has taken several months. PayHOA support has been there with us every step of the way to help us in our transition. Overall, we believe it provides great value for the money. Pros PayHOA is the management solution that we have been looking for. The user interface is very intuitive. PayHOA customer support is very responsive by way of phone and email. They also provide a great AI help chat. The communication piece provides instant push messages by way of phone, text and email. Our data is accessed by way of a secure web site. We also use the PayHOA Weebly website builder. We plan on using the Western Alliance banking option as well. Cons There is no payroll module with PayHOA. Payroll would make PayHOA truly one-stop-shopping. We decided to go with ADP. Alternatives considered [HOA Start](https://www.capterra.com/p/215897/HOA-Start/) Reason for choosing PayHOA Pricing, website builder, and support were better. Switched from [Sage 50 Accounting](https://www.capterra.com/p/174753/Sage-50cloud/)[Sesame Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/171376/Sesame-Software/) They are outdated and/or did not meet our needs. Review Source Response from Pay HOA January 5, 2026 Daniel, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. It means a lot to hear that PayHOA is delivering great value for your board and members, and that our support team has been helpful throughout your transition. We're glad the intuitive interface, communication options, and website builder are working well for your community. And we hope the banking integration serves you well too. The feedback on payroll is noted. We don't have that today, but we appreciate knowing it would make a difference for you. Thanks for being part of the PayHOA community. MM Mitchell M. Asset Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PayHOA is Excellent " January 20, 2026 5.0 From implementation to use to customer service I was up and running within a day or two. Compared with Platforms like Realpage where it takes them months to stand up a software. Pros It has an extremely intuitive design. Making switching platforms extremely easy and straightforward. Cons There is only one major drawback to PayHOA and that is the fact my owners cannot make a prepayment via an online payment. Alternatives considered [Entrata](https://www.capterra.com/p/20372/Entrata/) Reason for choosing PayHOA cost, implementation and customer service Switched from [RealPage](https://www.capterra.com/p/183247/Real-Page/) Because they were expensive and didnt provide a good bang for our buck Review Source Response from Pay HOA January 22, 2026 We appreciate the review, Mitchell. We're glad the platform has been intuitive and that you were up and running within a day or two. That's exactly the kind of experience we aim for. We appreciate the feedback on prepayments too. We'll make sure that gets passed along to our product team. Thanks for choosing PayHOA! MC Mark C. President Facilities Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best move ever" January 5, 2026 5.0 This has proven to be the best move we have ever done. PayHOA does basically everything our small 133 lot subdivision needed without the over-the-top fees management companies charge. Pros It is 1/5 the base price of the management company we had before and about 10% of what we were actually paying. Even printing and mailing is half the price. Cons We have not figured out the Homewise application yet nor have we done the website and transferred our domain name. These are brand new apps to the cite and free to the HOA, so it is still a huge positive. Alternatives considered [HOAWorks](https://www.capterra.com/p/10001487/HOAWorks/)[Easy HOA](https://www.capterra.com/p/237509/Easy-HOA/) Reason for choosing PayHOA PayHOA offered more services and seemed to be better organized. They offered more “bang” for the money. Switched from [TownSq](https://www.capterra.com/p/179206/TownSq/) They charged us a base of over $10,000 per year but we had to pay them over $21,000 when extra fees were added. Review Source Response from Pay HOA January 7, 2026 Mark, "Best move ever" is quite the endorsement. Thank you for sharing your experience! Going from $21,000 a year with a management company to a fraction of that while still getting everything your community needs is exactly the kind of outcome we love to hear about. And we're glad the printing and mailing savings are contributing to the savings, too. On HomeWiseDocs, good news: we're building that experience directly into the application, so it's about to get a whole lot easier. And we'd definitely encourage you to check out the website builder when you get a chance. It's simple to set up and includes Penny, our AI-powered chatbot that helps homeowners find what they need. It's a great way to reduce the questions that end up in your inbox. Thanks for choosing PayHOA. DM Daniel M. HOA President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "PAYHOA feedback from Wineberry HOA" January 9, 2026 5.0 Has been a net positive for our HOA. Great communication platform and covers all key operational processes for us. I am a fan! Pros Very straight forward tool. We do not have a complicated HOA operation and this tool is very adaptable. Can go deeper if needed but keeps it simple for our operation. Cons Delay in bank / PayHOA balance reconciliation process is sometimes delayed. Also, the cost per credit card transactions is a bit high relative to competition. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Too complex and inflexible. Hard to get in touch with support services. Review Source Response from Pay HOA January 15, 2026 Thank you for the review. We're glad PayHOA has been a net positive for Wineberry HOA and that it's covering your key operational and communication needs while keeping things simple. We appreciate the feedback on bank reconciliation delays too. Good news: we're releasing AI-powered bank reconciliation next week, which should help smooth that out. An email with more information on this will be sent out next Wednesday, so keep an eye out! Thanks for being part of the PayHOA community. LR Les R. Managing Principle Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Game Changer for our HOA!" March 4, 2025 5.0 Overall, the experience with PayHOA has been exceptional, streamlining our operations, ensuring accuracy and transparency in managing our HOA's finances. I highly recommend it! Pros As an 82-home HOA that self-manages, switching to PayHOA has been a game changer. The best feature is its ability to automate invoices, bill payments and financial reports, cutting our monthly workload down to just a few hours - a huge improvement over our previous managed service, which was notorious for poor service and inaccurate reports. Homeowners also appreciate the intuitive portal for making payments and managing their accounts, complete with a personalized touch like a photo of their home. Very important for our small community, by converting to PayHOA, we saved 75% of the cost of the previous service. Cons My only minor drawback is that I would like to see more options for adding custom uploaded attachments to email invoices, similar to what we can do to mailed invoices. However, this is a small nit in an otherwise well-designed, stellar system.

Company also appears to be on a great growth track with solid financial backing. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) We switched from Clark Simpson Miller - an HOA management company. Unsatisfactory service, inaccurate reports and high cost. Review Source Response from Pay HOA May 19, 2025 Les, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that PayHOA has been a game changer for your community, especially in streamlining financials. We're also glad to know that homeowners appreciate the intuitive portal and the personal touch you've added. We truly value your feedback and are always working to improve the platform. Thanks again!

Treasurer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "HOA PayHOA User Review" March 24, 2025 5.0 As a volunteer treasurer, I have been very happy with PayHOA, both from my administrator and user experience. I would definitely recommend PayHOA for HOA management. Pros PayHOA is easy to use, for both administrators and users. They have a database that usually has the answers to questions. The support team at PayHOA is the best! They respond quickly and are always helpful. The ability for residents pay online has been a great timesaver, and the ability to post governing documents, financial reports, and meeting minutes on the site has saved a lot of money on printing and mailing. Speaking of reports, about a year ago PayHOA created a report packet, so I don’t have to print, save, and post each report separately. Cons I would like to have the opportunity to be able to pay static (same charge every month) bills on a recurring basis. I’m sure they are working on this.

LH Lisa H. HOA treasurer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pay Hoa simplifies and streamlines all HOA/Managment processes!" March 19, 2025 5.0 I'm very thankful we are utilizing Pay Hoa, and thankful for their responsive staff. We've been using them for about a year now and are very happy. Pros Having everything in one place from financials and owner invoicing to calendars, management docs, tracked email, banking, transactions and more. Ease of use for owners, and transparency from and for the board. Ultimately this will make it easier for any new board member to transition onto the board. Support staff is fantastic and responsive. Bookkeeping and tax service is an excellent add on service which I can't speak highly enough about. Another timesaving free service is the bank lockbox which scans, reports and credits owners accounts if you use the Western Alliance bank. At the time of this writing, using this bank (specializing in collecting dues) also gives you a discount on your Pay Hoa subscription. The background of the \[sensitive content hidden\] puts Pay Hoa in the forefront of HOA management programs. Cons There are some clunky parts. Sometimes I have to wait a few minutes for a change I entered to show up even after the entry pops up as successful. I can only invoice owners, not outside entities I need to invoice. I also wish, within the program, there was a way our property manager could assign a staff member a specific request directly from the individual request.

Review Source Response from Pay HOA March 20, 2025 Glad that you're seeing such great impact with the product, have had a positive experience with support and our service offerings as well. I'd love to get more context on the inability to invoice outside entities, as you should have the ability to do that via our vendors and payables functionality. Feel free to reach out to me at earl@payhoa.com and I can then get you connected with our support/product teams. Thanks again, Lisa. Earl Laing VP of Marketing | PayHOA RO Rick O. President Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Tested many Condo management platforms... Always came back to PayHOA" March 12, 2025 5.0 Customer service= A+ Functionality = A Tiered Pricing = A+ Overall, the experience has been tremendous. I tested several platforms before choosing PayHOA. It is meeting and exceeding my expectations with reporting and options to make the Treasurer job more manageable. Pros A one-stop shop for managing our condo community's financials. The ability to send invoices and receipts and the option to set up a website for our community to stay current with FL legislation for a self-managed condo community are crucial. The tiered pricing based on the number of units in the community is beneficial. The reporting will be a huge benefit (once I transition from Excel.) This builds a sustainable platform that can operate with little touch from Board to Board. Cons First, I'll state that the support function on PayHOA is TOP NOTCH before I share. There is a bit of a learning curve, so plan a quarter to learn before launching to the community. You are not losing anything by waiting. You are gaining trust and can answer a lot more questions.

The one I really like is the ability to send mass communication during an emergency. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Automation, ease of use, capability of communication and online database. Review Source Response from Pay HOA March 14, 2025 Rick, thank you so much for the detailed review! We built PayHOA to be just what you described, "a one-stop shop" for community management (whether it be for condos, HOAs, or property management companies). We're glad you're seeing A+ impact with the platform. Should you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out! Earl Laing VP, Marketing | PayHOA VL Vencent L. CEO Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Efficient HOA Management with Room for Communication Improvements" March 6, 2025 4.0 The platform has positively impacted HOA operations by improving financial tracking, accessibility, and user engagement. While some community members have yet to fully explore the system’s features, those who have used it find it beneficial. A valuable recommendation would be to implement a dedicated contact list for business queries and immediate or ongoing IT support to address any hiccups efficiently. Pros We believe that PayHOA has been well received by the office as end users, assisting with providing a streamline path to completing daily activities, and its user-friendly experience for managing HOA-related tasks. The system offers excellent transparency, making it easier for residents and administrators to track payments, requests, and community updates. Many appreciate the accessibility and organization it has brought to Ridgemont in the areas of financial and operational HOA matters has been considered a plus. Cons There have been some concerns related to communication, particularly during system downtime or when adjustments and entry changes require turnaround time. This in no way affects our product contact and representative, but this statement is more related to standard image or IT system team as a protocol to update clients, and users of system upload, storage or error delays. While the platform functions well overall, improvements in real-time updates and a structured response process for technical issues would enhance user confidence. Alternatives considered [TownSq](https://www.capterra.com/p/179206/TownSq/) Reason for choosing PayHOA product that could offer autonomy and better ease Switched from [TownSq](https://www.capterra.com/p/179206/TownSq/) They did not offer some components, PayHOA was able to assist us with.

We're glad the platform is having such a big impact. SH Stuart H. Treasurer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PayHOA is the answer to you HOA financial and administrative challenges. " March 4, 2025 5.0 I have been involved with 2 different HOAs. I’ve served as president, secretary, and treasurer. Until we discovered PayHOA, we truly did not have a system that was sufficient to account for everything an HOA is responsible for as accurately as what it does. It was truly the answer to our HOA administration challenges. I highly recommend it for ANY self directed HOA. Pros It is a one stop shop for HOA management. PayHOA helps you to invoice residents, manage accounts, provides a collection point for all your HOA documents - everything you need to be successful. Cons There is really not much I don’t like about it. It is fairly intuitive and help is fairly accessible when needed. Alternatives considered [DoorLoop](https://www.capterra.com/p/211768/DoorLoop/) Reason for choosing PayHOA It seemed to offer everything we needed at a good price. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) PayHOA is specifically tailored to support HOAs whereas QB is not. QB did fine in the financial tracking, but we needed everything else that PayHOA offered. The absolute best thing about the switch is PayHOA is much less expensive than QB. Review Source Response from Pay HOA March 13, 2025 Stuart, very much appreciate the detailed review. Glad you feel that it is a one stop shop for HOA management, as that is one of our top goals. Thanks again! SA Sarah A. Treasurer Volunteer Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "PayHOA has it ALL!" March 5, 2025 5.0 The best part of our decision to switch to PayHOA has been the amazing availability and support of the staff members. We have direct access to highly trained professionals that educate us on how the product works, ensure performance is up to par, and are amazing at helping resolve any hiccups that occur (which are typically due to my own error to begin with). My experience overall has been EXCELLENT! Pros I am most excited about having accounting software that integrates our other HOA needs, such as broadcasting, invoicing, violations, requests, etc. It is an awesome ONE STOP SHOP! Cons No cons, but a "wish list" item would be to have live reports. That way, you could just click on a figure that doesn't make sense and be taken right to its source. However, it is very easy to maneuver in the system and I do not feel burdened by navigating there manually. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) I do not like using QB, I find it to be too complex and cumbersome. I get lost and confused in that software trying to do very simple tasks. Plus, it doesn't have all the other features like broadcasting or requests that we use in PayHOA. Review Source Response from Pay HOA March 11, 2025 Sarah, thanks so much for the detailed review. We're glad you're seeing such great value. FYI - I've passed your "wish list" item off to the appropriate members of our team. Thanks again! JM James M. Controller Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best database for HOA management" March 4, 2025 5.0 Excellent. We spent many hours searching for and testing software that could be a database for our HOA. PayHOA matched our feature list we were seeking without being overburdensome with unnecessary complexity. The learning curve was easy and we are still glad we made the decision to choose PayHOA over other software. We are about 2 years in. Pros It's fast. Logging in is fast, navigating between pages is fast, searching is fast, etc. There are many features we like too - texting, email, surveys, tags, violations, and pictures. We imported over 500 properties and the system grabbed Google Maps street view pictures of the houses automatically. Cons If you allow the homeowners to login to their account, there is no way to turn off the ability for them to see their violations. We have reasons we would want to keep that internal only.

It's simple to use, fast, and affordable. Review Source Response from Pay HOA March 13, 2025 Thanks for the detailed review, James. Very much appreciate it. 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! GC Ginger C.

Its easy to use and navigate, it has lots of features, and its just what we needed for our self-managed HOA. Pros Its a great centralized hub for all of our HOA documents, finances and communications, as we're a self managed HOA of 20 units that didnt want a lot of overhead. Cons I wish it was easier to set up an admin profile for the board members so communications could be consistent. We use a shared email for official HOA communications, such as when dealing with insurance or mortgage lenders. While I can manually change the email address that emails are sent from to the official HOA email, when I send out reminders for a survey, it doesnt give me that option and automatically sends it with my personal email address. Review Source Response from Pay HOA October 10, 2025 Thanks for sharing your experience, Ginger. We’re so glad PayHOA’s all-in-one community management platform is helping your board stay organized and run smoothly. You’re not the first person to flag the challenge with sending messages from a shared HOA email, and that’s something we already have on our roadmap for 2026. We really appreciate the feedback — it helps us prioritize the improvements that matter most. Thanks again for being part of the PayHOA community! -Earl Laing VP of Marketing, PayHOA YB Yvette B.

It's easy and the website has knowledgeable article to help you navigate the system for both the clients and the business owners. Pros I can do everything I need to do for my business in ONE website. The security is important to my customers and for my business so it helps to know that there are not bugs and issues that come across. Cons Printing out checks, It does not let you edit the check margins so it never prints out create and I have to edit myself in PDF form. Review Source Response from Pay HOA December 10, 2025 Hi Yvette, Thanks so much for the kind words. We're thrilled to hear PayHOA is making your day-to-day easier and that the security and resources are hitting the mark for you and your clients. We appreciate the feedback on check printing and are always working to make things even smoother. If there's anything we can help with in the meantime, just let us know. Thanks for being part of the PayHOA community! PS Payrona S.

The YouTube videos they provide on their channel are very helpful. Pros I love how everything is automated. The reporting feature has been beneficial for submitting quick monthly data. We also love how each unit keeps historical data intact for our office to fall back on if necessary. Cons So far we just aren’t fans of the scrolling feature on the budget dashboard. There are too many scroll bars to keep up with. Review Source RR Rebecca R. Treasurer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "PayHOA is the best HOA Management Software in the business!" March 7, 2025 5.0 Overall, I’m extremely happy with our decision to use PayHOA and I love that you all continually enhance it to provide an even better experience. I’d love to have the ability to see other customer’s enhancement requests and the ability to vote for them. I’d also love to see customer’s bug/errors they’ve encountered and if resolved, what the resolution was or the workaround provided - maybe something like Microsoft Office product’s user community message boards where Microsoft also monitors and provides feedback. Pros PayHOA’s customer service is top notch! I love that if I can’t find an answer or need instructions, I can often get a timely response and if I write after hours, I always get a response the next business day. In my (real) job, I’m a functional system administrator and I often have to submit tickets to our system’s vendor and it can take weeks to get a response! Life would be so much easier if every company had such amazing customer support as PayHOA does! I really appreciate how willing and eager you all are to assist, it’s refreshing. I also love the robustness of the system and the ability to link transactions and attachments. It has great transparency! Cons I’d like more user security controls allowing us to decide what specific users or roles can see certain data. I would love for our homeowners to have access to most of the tabs/modules in the system. However, I can’t hide homeowner-specific data when I give access to modules, so I have to hide most. If I was able to have more controls at the field level in each module (or even if you focus on one module at a time, e.g. transactions), I could hide the PII, allowing homeowners a full view without seeing who may have paid their assessment late (vs just knowing two homeowners paid late, but no address/name info is visible for it). Additionally, I’d really love the ability to allow view access to reports at the actual report level. Right now, if I give homeowners access to reports, they can see every single one, which again, shows homeowner specific data. So I have to restrict it which is really a shame because it’s a great system with a great user interface. Finally, I’d love to see an app developed for it. Accessing from my phone’s browser is not an easy thing to do. Most of our homeowners would prefer an app as well. For clarification, I am our HOA Treasurer, so I obviously see everything and as a homeowner as well, I’d be upset knowing the data was there, but I can’t see it! Review Source Response from Pay HOA March 10, 2025 Rebecca, we very much appreciate the super detailed review! I've passed along the wealth of information in the Cons section to the appropriate parties on our end. Thanks for helping us get better and all the kind words. Earl Laing VP, Marketing | PayHOA TC Tim C. President Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PayHOA is great!" March 19, 2025 5.0 I’ve used PayHOA for a 78 unit neighborhood and a 12 unit condo association. Performance has been flawless. Pros I have instant access to financial data. The association does not have an accountant so we are able to easily and accurately track income versus liabilities. The operating account and the reserve account are both synchronized and visible on one page. End-of-month reports are easily produced and board members have easy access. Cons Not much….a minor criticism is the change from personal contact to automated issue resolution. Review Source Response from Pay HOA March 25, 2025 Tim, we appreciate the review. We're glad the performance has been "flawless" for you. HB Hilary B. Association Director Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PayHOA Makes Communication and Billing a Breeze" March 4, 2025 4.0 PayHOA brought us from the dark ages of an antiquated and very limited database to a browser-based management and communications tool. Pros PayHOA is a great way to store information about each unit and disseminate it to my entire association. PayHOA allows us to quickly and easily process our billing, complete mass mailings, and print out member statements. Cons Parts of the platform are changed and updated without notifying customers, which negatively affects the user experience. Review Source Response from Pay HOA March 13, 2025 "Brought us from the dark ages" is high praise.
