Condo Manager vs SpotHOA

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. Reports can be standard or custom, with real-time data access. Work orders sync across the portal and app, can support unlimited quote or bid requests, and can link to related invoices. 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.

SpotHOA is software for small, self-managed homeowners associations that brings dues, documents, violations, meetings, and votes together. Boards can collect card and ACH dues through Stripe Connect Standard or record check and cash payments. Dues, votes, and violations are stored as permanent, timestamped ledger events. The document vault organizes CC&Rs, bylaws, meeting minutes, and financials with tags, categories, and role-based access. The service also includes a community feed, messages with replies, and a daily email digest. AI can draft violation letters, meeting summaries, and dues reminders. Free and Pro users can export ledger, document vault, member, and meeting records as CSV and PDF. The Free plan supports up to 50 active units, 500 MB of document storage, and 1,000 emails per month. Pro costs $29/mo and supports up to 100 active units, 10 GB of storage, and 10,000 emails per month, while adding AI paperwork, a Texas compliance pack, and priority email support. Version 1 supports only US-based HOAs. The web app can be installed on Android, iPhone, or iPad home screens, but there is no mobile app.
