HOA Messenger vs HOAS

HOA Messenger is software for homeowners-association administration, with tools for resident communication, dues, documents, maintenance and accounting. Managers can send messages individually or by broadcast through push notifications, SMS or email; residents can pay by credit card or ACH bank transfer. Managers can issue vendor work orders and receive updates as jobs are accepted, scheduled and completed. The service stores HOA documents for private resident access and provides a mobile portal and a mobile app for violation tracking. Its Mail feature lets an HOA submit a PDF for printing and mailing through USPS and track the request. The Free plan costs nothing and remains available indefinitely, with unlimited HOAs and residents, co-manager access and 90-day visibility. Premium adds double-entry accounting, budgeting, financial reports, vendor bill pay and a web resident portal; its 30-day trial requires a credit card. Listed prices are $25 a month for Premium, $399 a month for Admin, and $319 a year for Admin Plan.

HOAS is a management system for Philippine homeowners associations, combining property records, billing, accounting, community tools, and voting. It manages property, homeowner, renter, and vehicle records, and can generate recurring monthly dues, apply configurable late penalties, and send invoice reminders by email or SMS. Accounting includes double-entry journals, bank reconciliation, and reports such as a trial balance and general ledger. Community tools include announcements, concern tickets, meeting minutes, chat, and QR-code gate passes. Online voting supports elections, resolutions, and budget approvals, and can produce a certified results PDF. Calendar options include a read-only iCal feed and two-way Google Calendar sync through a service account. HOAS says it is designed for the Philippine Data Privacy Act and uses encryption in transit and at rest, bcrypt password hashing, role-based access controls, and daily backups with point-in-time recovery. It is available on web, Windows, and Android; its iOS app is coming soon. Plans are priced per property per month: 7 PHP for 1–500 properties, 6 PHP for 501–1,000, and 5 PHP for 1,001 or more. A 14-day trial is listed for Growth.
