HOA Messenger vs ManageHOA

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.

ManageHOA is a cloud-based platform for HOA boards and property management companies serving townhome and single-family communities. It covers violations, architectural requests, maintenance and community communication, and management companies can oversee multiple communities from one dashboard. Homeowners can submit architectural applications with images and documents; managers and committee members can review, discuss and vote on them. Violation records can include notices, resident responses, attachments and timestamps, with automated follow-up reminders. Resident and board portals, a mobile application, work orders, board documents and a membership directory are listed alongside announcements, inquiries, notifications and calendars. Other capabilities include visitor and contractor management, staff operations, package tracking, weather alerts and emergency broadcasts. Residents can pay dues through BuildingLink Payments, and the platform is designed to integrate with accounting software. It runs on Android, iOS and the web. Pricing is on request; the product page directs prospective customers to request a demo rather than listing plan tiers or prices.
