CommunityPay vs Condowork

CommunityPay provides payment and accounting infrastructure for community associations, with tools to record transactions and decisions. Its accounting features include double-entry bookkeeping, fund tracking, period locks, financial statements, and board-ready reports. Residents can pay online by ACH or card; vendor payments use Stripe Connect, support batch processing, and create journal entries automatically. Payment controls route journal entries through an enforcement dispatcher that evaluates guards and records decisions. The API can request resale certificates generated from live ledger data and deliver them through HMAC-signed callbacks. Its Legal Corpus API covers statutes, thresholds, and compliance profiles across 50 states plus D.C. QuickBooks and Xero sync are listed as included features. A token-gated CPA portal offers read-only access to scope-restricted sections and logs events. CommunityPay charges $1 per unit per month, with a $100 community minimum and $500 cap; processing fees pass through at cost. The public API is free, while Professional API costs $99 per month.

Condowork is a web platform combining condominium administration, resident communication, and professional networking.

Residents can create professional profiles, join interest groups, message neighbors, use an internal services marketplace, and RSVP to events. The product is presented for condominium managers, administrators, residents, and operational staff, and the company says it adapts to properties from 20 to 500 or more units. Condowork’s team handles migration, configuration, and training, with implementation averaging 48 hours. A tailored demo is available without a credit card, with responses promised within 24 business hours. The company advertises dedicated 24/7 support and a direct customer success manager channel.
