HOA Simplify
HOA Simplify provides a workspace for HOA dues, documents, votes and maintenance requests for boards, managers and residents. Its AI Smart Accounting can produce financial reports and budget alerts from natural-language questions, and record expenses, payments and journal entries through chat. Election tools include quorum tracking, proxy and ranked-choice voting, anonymous results and an election archive. Residents can pay dues, view documents, submit maintenance requests, vote and book amenities through a portal that can be installed as a PWA on mobile devices. Property managers get cross-HOA reporting, reusable dues templates, bulk resident imports and a portfolio activity feed. AI Smart Import accepts CSV files from Buildium, AppFolio, PayHOA or spreadsheets, maps columns automatically, and supports preview and rollback. Stripe payments and QuickBooks Online sync are listed as built in; Slack, Google Calendar, Zapier, DocuSign, Plaid and Twilio are marked coming soon. Community, Association and Standard plans list unit limits of 50, 125 and 200; Premium lists unlimited units. Platform transaction fees apply in addition to Stripe fees.
