CINC vs HOA-I

CINC is a community association management platform that combines accounting, operations, communications, and community administration. It supports online dues collection, violation tracking, maintenance requests, and document storage. Residents can use the branded CINC Connect web and mobile experience for feeds, messaging, calendars, announcements, voting, service requests, reservations, payments, and self-service. Management teams have the CINC Manager mobile app. Financial tools include association accounting, receivables, payables, budgeting, reporting, invoice processing, and electronic payments, alongside managed services and 38 direct bank integrations. CINC says the system processes over $11 billion in payments annually and is used by more than 1,000 management companies. Its Cephai+ AI features can automate invoice processing, EFT reconciliation, board packet creation, violation analysis, and task recommendations. The platform also lists an open API and integrations for collections, resale documents, print and mail, accounts payable, and other property management needs. CINC states that it uses 256-bit AES encryption, is SOC 2 Type II compliant and Veracode verified, and provides role permissions. Pricing is on request; the pages direct prospective customers to book a demo.

HOA-I brings resident questions, board records, requests and follow-up into one platform for self-managed HOA and condo boards. Its assistant searches governing documents and answers questions with cited sections. Boards can manage violation cases through evidence, notices, hearings, fines and case history, while residents submit architectural photos and plans for committee review, voting and owner notification. Community operations include dues, owner balances, online payments, statements, a shared mailbox, announcements, email and SMS. Meeting tools cover packets, attendance, AI-assisted minutes, digital voting, proxy authorization, quorum tracking and audit trails. The platform also describes e-signatures and compliance tools for fine limits, notice delivery confirmation and records-request deadlines across all 50 states. Property managers can manage rental listings, leads, leases, tenants, workers and work orders; tenants can apply, sign leases, request repairs and pay rent online. HOA-I is available on web, iOS and Android, with push notifications and feature parity across devices. Plans include Small HOA at $110 a month, Medium HOA at $150 a month and a 75-unit community plan at $150 a month. A 30-day trial requires no credit card.
