Software your whole community will actually use
Stop juggling spreadsheets, email, and separate payment systems. One platform replaces all of them.
Every board member, committee member, and homeowner gets their own account. You pay per property, not per person.
$3/home/month gets you full HOA books, a homeowner portal, and document management. A 50-home HOA pays $150/month.
We ran our own communities in the Pacific Northwest before building this. Every feature works the way a volunteer board actually thinks.
On Pro, homeowners pay by card, debit, or ACH via Stripe, and autopay means you stop chasing checks. On Starter, you record the payments you collect offline.
$3/home/month. No setup fees, no hidden charges, no long-term contracts. Upgrade or cancel whenever you want.
Boards across Washington and Oregon who made the switch
“We've got 180 single-family homes, quarterly assessments over $1,200 each. Our treasurer was spending 15 hours a month reconciling checks and calling people about late payments — it was brutal. We switched to online collection last spring and within two billing cycles we were at 96% on-time. The dashboard alone changed our board meetings. Instead of passing around a spreadsheet that's already a week old, everyone can just look at the numbers whenever they want.”
David Chen
Board President, Cascade Ridge Estates HOA, Vancouver, WA
“We run a $400K annual budget — landscaping, common area maintenance, reserve contributions, the works. Honestly, the aging reports and budget-vs-actuals sold me on switching. But the part I didn't expect was how much the homeowner portal would help. People log in, see where their money's going, and they just... stop emailing us about it. Our financial inquiry emails dropped about 70%. That alone saved me hours every month.”
Karen Lindqvist
Treasurer, Timber Creek Community Association, Lake Oswego, OR
“We get maybe 30-40 architectural review requests a year — decks, repaints, new fencing along the waterfront lots. Before this we were drowning in email threads and paper forms that'd get lost between board meetings. Now someone wants to add a deck, they submit through the portal with photos and plans, we review it when we have time, and nobody blows a 30-day deadline because they forgot to follow up. It's night and day.”
