HOAS vs ResLife Finances

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.

ResLife Finances is web-based accounting software for community associations. It combines a general ledger, journals, accounts payable, bank reconciliation, fund accounting, and financial statements in one set of books. Assessments can be calculated from budgets, collected online, and adjusted with late fees or interest under governing documents. AI can capture vendor invoices, connect them to work orders or contracts, check spending limits, and hold them for approval.

Stripe Connect handles recurring dues and one-time invoices. A free operations layer can sit alongside existing bookkeeping without migrating books. The Free plan is free, billed monthly forever, with online collection fees. Paid plans start at $1 a month per unit; Enterprise is priced on request. Support costs $125 per hour on every plan.
