In their own words
KindHOA
KindHOA is software for self-managed volunteer HOA boards, with browser access and native iPhone and Android apps. Residents can pay dues, submit home changes, report fixes, vote, and read community news. Board tools cover violation tracking, maintenance requests, association accounting, and document storage. The apps support push alerts, Face ID, payments, voting, maintenance reports, and community news. The Good Neighbor plan costs $0 forever and includes 5 GB of storage, up to 10 active violations, 10 calendar events per month, and five announcements per month. It also includes formal elections, sealed ballots, vote counting, and PDF certificates. Board Automation costs $300 per year prepaid and adds recurring dues, late-fee automation, email broadcasts, AI, vendor bid management, 25 GB of storage, and priority email support. Every new HOA receives a 60-day Board Automation trial without a card. Optional Bank Sync costs $9 monthly or $89 annually and supports up to eight live accounts. KindHOA charges no per-unit software fees and was made by Kind Tech LLC in Colorado Springs.
