HOA Simplify vs TownSq

HOA Simplify provides a workspace for HOA dues, documents, votes and maintenance requests for boards, managers and residents. Its AI Smart Accounting can produce financial reports and budget alerts from natural-language questions, and record expenses, payments and journal entries through chat. Election tools include quorum tracking, proxy and ranked-choice voting, anonymous results and an election archive. Residents can pay dues, view documents, submit maintenance requests, vote and book amenities through a portal that can be installed as a PWA on mobile devices. Property managers get cross-HOA reporting, reusable dues templates, bulk resident imports and a portfolio activity feed. AI Smart Import accepts CSV files from Buildium, AppFolio, PayHOA or spreadsheets, maps columns automatically, and supports preview and rollback. Stripe payments and QuickBooks Online sync are listed as built in; Slack, Google Calendar, Zapier, DocuSign, Plaid and Twilio are marked coming soon. Community, Association and Standard plans list unit limits of 50, 125 and 200; Premium lists unlimited units. Platform transaction fees apply in addition to Stripe fees.

TownSq is a community association platform that combines a resident portal with tools for dues collection, violation tracking, maintenance requests, association accounting, and document storage. Residents can use the portal and pay dues online or submit maintenance requests; associations can track violations, handle accounting, and store documents. TownSq is available on the web, iOS, and Android, with mobile apps listed. It has paid plans and a 30-day trial, but no free plan. Pro costs $90 a month for up to 300 units and one community, with a 30-day trial for a one-year term that auto-renews annually. Advanced costs $145 a month for up to 300 units and two to ten communities, with the same trial and renewal terms. TownSq was founded in 2013 and lists headquarters in Richardson, Texas, United States, and Porto Alegre, Brazil.
