Despite reconnecting our accounts, missing transactions never show up again. ## PayHOA customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 728 (page 1). ### High Value HOA Management SAAS - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Joshua M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for choosing PayHOA We needed a solution that could meet our budget. PayHOA was a far greater value. #### Vendor response Hi Joshua, thank you for such a thorough review, especially after two years with us. Hearing that the pricing, support, and day-to-day reliability have held up over time means a lot. It is also helpful to get feedback about what could be improved. While some processes are set with the banks themselves, banking and security are areas we're investing in, so this feedback is helpful and we'll make sure it is passed along. If you need to speak with anyone about concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. We hope your experience only improves over time. Thanks for choosing PayHOA and sticking with us. Replied September 2026 --- ### 100% recommend! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Amy C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civic & Social Organization - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I would highly recommend this program to other HOA's. It checks all the boxes for self-managed HOA's! Customer service and the help section is very responsive, clear and helpful. I think onboarding the accounting section could be more in-depth especially for those that don't have that background but once up and running it is a great tool for our board. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I liked the overall software because it incorporates what we need to run our HOA even with our unique attributes and the cost is very reasonable for the size of our community. The Accounting package along with AI really shortens up the time for completing tasks and is super easy to navigate. I appreciate the many features for the homeowners and maintaining information about individual units is most helpful for board history transitions. Everything is at your fingertips with the reports, and it streamlines the workflow for our board members. It really does make volunteering in the community a lot less cumbersome! #### Cons We operate our own water system and incorporating the utility software with the payhoa's accounting package creates more steps and is a challenge for people without accounting experience. There isn't the ability to separate out the accounts receivables and tie them to specific accounts to tailor the reports. #### Reasons for switching to PayHOA Board voted to not continue with property management company #### Vendor response Amy, thank you for such a detailed review, it means a lot. We're glad the financial side + AI is saving you time, and that the documented community history is making board transitions so much easier. That "less cumbersome" line is exactly what we're going for since volunteering for your HOA shouldn't feel like a second job. The feedback on the utility software integration is really helpful too. We're always looking to improve the platform and explore future integration opportunities. We've passed this feedback to our product team. Appreciate you being part of the PayHOA community.

Still excellent. I would recommend any HOA check the company out. If your HOA is self- managed, the features offered will make you seem like a professional organization #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros They continually add services, most recently home resale documents through HomeWise Documents. They also added bookkeeping and accounting services. #### Cons As services broaden, monthly fees increase. Having said that, the fee for services provided is still reasonable. #### Reasons for choosing PayHOA Some others seemed to be primarily website engines with member database features tacked on. PayHOA seemed to be built primarily with HOA management in mind, was completely cloud based and was affordable. --- ### Highly Recommended Choice for Association Management Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Amanda C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Management Consulting - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Ive been using the software for about 4 years and the whole experience is very user friendly. Customer support is always very helpful with follow-up to ensure your problems are solved. New features are being added. The pricing is perfect for a self-managed association or small management company. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The simplicity of the software tailored with the help from customer support from set-up forward, make this a very user friendly option. The audit trail for every task makes information readily available keeping operations transparent. #### Cons The payables feature could use a little tweaking to prevent possible double entries when printing checks as the form of payment. #### Reasons for choosing PayHOA PayHOA had majority of the features that i needed with a fraction of the cost. #### Reasons for switching to PayHOA Pricing was the main factor but there were also a lot of unused and unnecessary features for what my properties needed. #### Vendor response Hi Amanda, We always love heading from who have been with us for years. I'm glad you're still finding that the setup, support, and cost work for your association and that the audit trail keeps things transparent. The feedback on printed checks is also helpful, as we're always looking for the best ways to improve the platform and new features that will help our customers. Thank you for taking time to share your experience and leave a review! Replied August 2026 --- ### A Great Solution for a Self-Managed HOA - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: julie t. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My overall experience with PayHOA has been very positive. As a self-managed HOA, we needed a system that would help the board stay organized without making the process overly complicated. PayHOA has given us a central place to manage homeowner accounts, payments, communications, documents, and association records. It has also made it easier for homeowners to access their own information and make payments online. There was a learning curve in the beginning, and a few areas could be more customizable, but once everything was set up, the platform became an important part of how we manage the association. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros PayHOA gives our board one place to manage most of the day-to-day work of the association. We can track homeowner accounts and payments, maintain owner information, communicate with residents, store documents, and keep better records without having to use several different systems. I especially like that homeowners can log in and see their own account information and make payments online. It has made managing a self-managed HOA much easier and gives the board better access to the information we need. #### Cons Some areas could be more intuitive, especially when you are first setting up the community or trying to find a specific report or function. There are also places where I would like more flexibility in customizing reports, notices, and association workflows. Once you learn where everything is, it works well, but certain tasks take more clicks than I would expect. #### Reasons for choosing PayHOA PayHOA offered the best combination of features, ease of use, and value for a self-managed HOA. It gave us the tools we needed for homeowner accounts, online payments, communications, property records, violations, documents, and financial tracking in one platform. We also found the homeowner portal straightforward to use, which was important because we wanted residents to be able to access their own account information without having to contact the board for routine questions. Compared with the other products we considered, PayHOA felt like the best fit for the way our association actually operates. #### Vendor response Wow, thanks so much for the detailed review, Julie! It sounds like you're getting a lot of great value from the PayHOA platform. We're happy to hear it's making the day-to-day management of your community much easier, as that is exactly the point. We've got a lot of AI functionality coming down the pipe that I think will really help with some of the customization you're looking for. Stay tuned for more on that! Replied August 2026 --- ### PayHOA saved our self-managed HOA time, money, and stress! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: DuWayne G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: August 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. As with most HOAs, our board is all volunteer and most are not knowledgable when it comes to creating websites, working through accounting issues, etc. However, PayHOA's staff (live and online) have made the process much easier than I expected. Even more, they do it with a very positive attitude. I think PayHOA has some of the best customer service representatives that I've ever dealt with. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We recently switched from an HOA management company to being self-managed. I researched 9 different management site options for our HOA and sat through mulitple demos. I kept a side-by-side comparison spreadsheet and over the course of 3 months, found PayHOA to be the correct fit for what we need. The cost was within our budget (we saved A LOT by switching), and the functionality is great! What used to take several weeks with the HOA management company (ACC reviews, homeowner requests, etc.) can now be accomplished in days. PayHOA gives us ways to contact our neighbors immediately with notifications about work maintenance, gate issues, etc. One of the biggest pluses is the amount of training videos PayHOA offers and their live support is incredible. When I reach out with a questions (I'm the Treasurer for our Association), I usually receive an answer the same day. I have had many face-to-face video calls where the PayHOA staff has walked me through an entire process to get everything ready to go when we began getting our site set up. #### Cons The onboarding process does take a long time, especially since we switched mid-year. Most of the issues were not due to PayHOA. Our previous management company sent us two large checks to close out our account and we had to back into all the numbers that comprised the checks. We had to do some work-arounds to make the PayHOA system balance. I wish that part had been smoother. The accounting module of PayHOA is functional, but it could be a bit more user-friendly. #### Reasons for choosing PayHOA PayHOA fit our needs and our budget. It has all the functionality that our small HOA requires. I'm glad we chose PayHOA because the customer service has been incredible! #### Vendor response DuWayne, we greatly appreciated this super detailed review and all the time you put into it. We're truly appreciative that you selected us as your platform to manage your HOA going forward. It's great to hear the platform stood out across nine different options. You clearly did your research. The cost savings and operational efficiencies you guys have realized are amazing. Again, we appreciate you sharing that. It's clear you and your board are doing a great job managing your community. Appreciate you being part of PayHOA!

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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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! #### Reasons for switching to PayHOA Cost and the fact that I needed a separate module for the community website #### Vendor response 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! Replied September 2026 --- ### Comprehensive and Fairly Priced, But Navigation Needs a Rethink - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jim F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall: strong functional depth and fair pricing, held back by an interface that needs real UX investment, especially in navigation clarity. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for choosing PayHOA The feature set was the most comprehensive. Payment fees are seamlessly passed through to the paying homeowner, with no extra setup or manual tracking needed on our end. #### Reasons for switching to PayHOA Needed a consolidated platform with payment processing. #### Vendor response Jim, thank you for such a specific and useful review. It means a lot that someone with a software background dug into this. We are consistently working on the platform to make it more user friendly and add new functionality, so we'll make sure this feedback gets passed along. It does sound like the platform functionality is working and valuable for your community as well, which we're glad to see. Thanks for choosing PayHOA, and if there's anything we can help with directly, please don't hesitate to reach out.

PayHOA was easy to deal with in getting started. They did a great job taking our data and importing into their system with few to no issues. They are pretty good at responding to questions we have had (which have not been many). #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We found PayHOA very easy to use while having great functionality for our needs. The set of members and households is straight forward and flexible enough for our needs. #### Cons We have not run into any serious issues with PayHOA. Their banking partner Western Alliance Bank is not as user friendly however. #### Reasons for switching to PayHOA HOA Start lack some features we were looking for and there was not a timely roadmap to get them. #### Vendor response Thanks Dan, we appreciate you taking the time to leave this review. We're happy to hear you found PayHOA easy to use while also having the robust functionality you need to effectively manage your community. Replied August 2026 --- ### Great Support with intuitive dashboard - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: August 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Great onboarding support and intuitive dashboard. Ease of use for residents for setting up auto-pay for HOA dues. #### Cons When importing users coming from a spreadsheet, some issues are faced if the fields don't match template and manual adjustments is required. Would be nice to have auto-format. #### Reasons for choosing PayHOA better pricing and features provided during evaluation #### Vendor response Appreciate the review! Our AI importing tool should help alleviate what you described in the Cons section. Glad you had a great onboarding experience and are finding the platform easy to use.

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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Reasons 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. #### Reasons for switching to PayHOA 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. #### Vendor response 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!

It has been a lifesaver in many ways . Spent 4 times more with an actual accountant so it’s saving our nonprofit a lot . #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Always ready to answer questions , does a good job of generating reports, fast way to broadcast messages #### Cons The accounting process is a bit clunky. You have to hunt around to find entries, generate invoices individually for owners who want to pay ahead #### Reasons for choosing PayHOA Quickbooks was not honest about which version I needed and wanted to charge us a higher price. #### Vendor response Thank you for the review Janice. We love hearing that PayHOA is saving you time and that our support team is helpful at answering questions. The feedback on the accounting process is helpful as we build out the platform, but we're glad that it's still better than your time with an accountant. Thanks for choosing PayHOA, we hope to continue improving your experience in the future.

Absolutely Excellent!! I have had to call in a couple of times for some support and the issues were fixed immediately. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros PayHOA has been amazing to work with. I have had the service for about 8 months and I manage a small COA (condos) in Missouri. Terrific customer support, easy to use and the features are terrific. I really haven't found anything negative. Takes a bit to get used to when you first start, but the learning curve is really fast. I am also a homeowner in the complex. Excellent all around. Saves tons of time and money. #### Cons The only thing (which is very small) is if you're a homeowner and also the admin, you cannot separate the two accounts. If you try, the system will kind of lock you out because of the cookies on your computer. Basically, you have to work around that a bit. #### Reasons for switching to PayHOA Quickbooks is robust for sure. However, it's too big in a sense. It does way more than what is needed and it is about double the monthly cost. #### Vendor response Hi William, we're glad your Missouri COA found the learning curve to be quick and are saving both time and money. It's also great to hear that you've had a good experience with our support team. Our team is truly invested in our customers, so we're glad they were helpful. Thanks for choosing PayHOA!

PayHOA is a strong all-in-one HOA management platform with excellent potential for small and mid-sized associations.The primary opportunities for improvement are accounting usability, bank synchronization, reporting flexibility, mobile functionality, and navigation. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Centralized platform – Financial, homeowner, document, and communication functions are available in one place. #### Cons Improve Bank Synchronization Increase the frequency of automatic bank synchronization. Provide a manual "Sync Now" option when immediate reconciliation is needed. Provide clearer notifications when a bank connection fails or is delayed. #### Reasons for choosing PayHOA User friendly portal and less expensive. However, Accounting/Bank Synchronization and reporting is lagging. #### Vendor response Hi Lavanya - thanks for the review and improvement notes. We are consistently updating the platform, so hearing about new features that would help customers, such as a "Sync Now" option, is helpful as we build out our roadmap. Thanks for choosing PayHOA, we hope you continue to get value out of the tools and that the value you get only increases over time as we enhance the software.

Whenever we've run into any issues, PayHOA support is always there to help us figure out a resolution.

Even scheduled appointments for working through questions. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy transfer of spreadsheets into organized system that makes our POA look so much more professional. Provides transparency for our board and association members. #### Cons The reports could be better if they were more customizable. The small print can be hard to read. I'd like to be able to choose which categories to include. #### Reasons for choosing PayHOA Had the most features for the price and they liked the format. #### Vendor response Sherrie, I responded to your G2 review earlier. Thanks for sharing your positive experience here as well. We're always looking to improve the platform, and reports are one of the areas we'll be focusing on in the near future.

Replied August 2026 --- ### Great Platform, but Limited Customer Support - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ivy L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Management Consulting - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: August 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for switching to PayHOA 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. #### Vendor response 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. Replied August 2026 --- ### PayHOA is great! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: ERIN S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall it's been a great experience. The support team has been very responsive and helpful when I have questions or need assistance. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It's a one stop shop for everything our association needs. I like the stream line process for generating invoices and tracking payments. The documents section is nice because it gives us a place to save files and cut down on physical documents. I really liked how intuitive the platform was to use and set up. It's also very forgiving if I make a mistake and need to fix something. We switched to this platform from a bookkeeping subscription we had, and for not much more money we have access to so many more features. We know have a place where homeowners can log in to pay dues, view documents, submit requests. We didn't have that before. It really has everything we need and more. I also appreciate the bank integration for ease of reconciling and linking payments. #### Cons There are some features that don't exactly translate to our HOA community and it would be nice if there was a way to tweak some of the tools to fit how we would use it. #### Reasons for switching to PayHOA We were looking for a platform that could do more than bookkeeping. #### Vendor response Hi Erin, we're glad that the switch to PayHOA has given you access to many more features, including invoicing, documents, homeowner logins and bank reconciliation all in one place, and that support has been quick to help along the way. The note on more customization for how your specific tools get used is a good one, that feedback will help us improve in the future. Thanks for taking the time to share this, and thank you for the great review.

We are still navigating through the Platform but overall our experience so far with the payHOA platform has been very positive and I can certainly say it meets most of the expectations of our Small HOA Community #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Platform is easy to use, Excellent Technical Support, Efficient HOA Platform for a small (45 homes in our community) Self managed Community, good value of money based on the features provided by the payHOA Software Platform #### Cons Certain Available Features are hard to find- example creating a template for Violation, had to navigate through the Software to figure out on how to create a Template, Voting Ballot Description Text box should have formatting capabilities, finding calendar (Events) is not very intuitive, needs to be the one of the easily available option on the left side bar, I don't seem to see an electronic payment option to the HOA Vendor, wish there was one, if there is one I am not able to find it #### Reasons for choosing PayHOA Reliability, more features, large body of positive user reviews on major independent software review sites like Capterra and G2 and our own independent analysis determined that PayHOA is a better fit for our community aligning with the recommendations of the Budget committee members. #### Vendor response Hey Prashant, Thanks for the great review (on both Capterra and G2). We're glad PayHOA has been easy to use and a good value for your community, and that our support team has been there when you needed it. We're biased, but they're the best. Your feedback on user experience and findability is really helpful, and we've passed this along to our product team. On electronic vendor payments, that's something we're actively building, so stay tuned. In the meantime, our Knowledge Base (intercom.help/payhoa) walks through templates, and many other features at your own pace, and our support team (support@payhoa.com) is happy to point you to anything that's tricky to find. Appreciate you being part of the PayHOA community, and thanks again for helping spread the word.

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). #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. :) #### Vendor response 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!

It has been extremely positive. The issues that we had with our management companies have been eradicated since we went to self-management, and that wouldn't be possible without a good, all-in-one platform like PayHOA. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It was very easy to onboard, to get our residents to buy into using the platform, and from there to use the platform as a self-managed HOA board without any misses. We were also able to find long-standing billing errors that our previous management companies missed. #### Cons The user interface is a little clunky and feels a little dated, but not so much so that it's an issue. The mass communications tools can be tricky for some of our users, but we've also used it effectively. #### Vendor response Brad, It's great to hear that PayHOA has been a part of your journey to self-management and it's been a solid all-in-one platform for you. We strive to make the software both affordable and easy to use, so thank you for sharing the feedback on the user interface as well. If there's ever anything we can do to help, don't hesitate to reach out. We're happy to have you with PayHOA.

PayHOA gives our small beach community a value added, saving us thousands of board member hours dealing with minutia and helps ensure positive accounting. The platform is a total game-changer for our self-managed community, making daily operations less stressful. This software works so well for us in several ways including: •Ease of Use & User Interface: The system is incredibly easy to use. The clean user interface makes finding tools and navigating menus simple for everyone on our board. •Property Management: Routine property management tasks are now completely automated. Tracking maintenance requests and sending out community announcements takes just a few clicks. •Information Access: Homeowners have 24/7 information access. They can view their balances and community documents anytime through their private portals. This centralized information means board members no longer waste time hunting through scattered paper files or private emails, which dramatically drops the number of daily administrative questions for the board. •Bank Reconciliation: Doing a bank reconciliation used to take hours of manual work. Now, the bank syncs automatically to keep all our financials aligned. •Customer Support: We are new to PayHOA and when we encounter obstacles, the customer support team is helpful. They provide clear, rapid guidance to get thing resolved. Having less than 30 units means a reduction in what was a massive administrative burden. Once initial community data is uploaded, PayHOA transformed our SOPs – allowing the board more time to address bigger issues. When board roles change, the next volunteer instantly can inherits a complete digital history. Every board member has identical, real-time visibility into finances, keeping everyone aligned without manual reporting. This seems to be a game changer to bring this small, outdated community into a new era. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros PayHOA transformed our SOPs – allowing the board more time to address bigger issues. When board roles change, the next volunteer instantly can inherits a complete digital history. Every board member has identical, real-time visibility into finances, keeping everyone aligned without manual reporting. #### Cons The time investment of uploading all unit/community data. Obviously a necessary evil, but for an over-taxed board, it took additional time before we could role it out to for real-time use. #### Vendor response Hi Mary, Reading about your transformation with PayHOA made our morning. Our mission is to make your and your community's other volunteers' lives easier, with less tedious management work and more time spent on things that make a difference in your community. It's fantastic to hear that you were able to reduce bank reconciliation time, automate routine management tasks, and provide a complete digital history to new board members during transitions. Hopefully all the time savings made the initial setup well worth it. We're constantly working on improving the platform as well, fingers crossed that you'll be able to save even more time in the future as we roll out updates. Thanks for being a PayHOA customer, we're glad to have you!

It supports a variety of modalities - email, text, phone and supports online voting which is very convenient for polling members on minor issues or potential opportunities. #### Cons I've accidently deleted emails I'm in the midst of writing. It would be nice if the emailing was integrated with Gmail or with Apple Mail. #### Vendor response Hey Alan, thanks for the review!

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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### Vendor response 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.
