Condo Manager vs HOAware

Condo Manager provides accounting, management, and communication software for condominium and homeowner associations. The product combines a resident portal with online dues collection, violation tracking, maintenance requests, association accounting, and document storage. It tracks records for owners, tenants, board members, and vendors, and includes integrated account management, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and financial reporting.

Banking options include lockbox services, ACH and checks, NACHA upload files, MICR scanners, and electronic dues and vendor payments. The maker says the software is compatible with all financial institutions and supports ACH and lockbox functions with a bank of the customer’s choice. It is available on the web, Android, and iOS, with an API and mobile apps. The maker states it can manage unlimited units and corporations. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is offered without a stated duration.

HOAware provides HOA management tools for architectural control applications, violations, payments, inspections, and resident communication.
