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.

SpotHOA is software for small, self-managed homeowners associations that brings dues, documents, violations, meetings, and votes together. Boards can collect card and ACH dues through Stripe Connect Standard or record check and cash payments. Dues, votes, and violations are stored as permanent, timestamped ledger events. The document vault organizes CC&Rs, bylaws, meeting minutes, and financials with tags, categories, and role-based access. The service also includes a community feed, messages with replies, and a daily email digest. AI can draft violation letters, meeting summaries, and dues reminders. Free and Pro users can export ledger, document vault, member, and meeting records as CSV and PDF. The Free plan supports up to 50 active units, 500 MB of document storage, and 1,000 emails per month. Pro costs $29/mo and supports up to 100 active units, 10 GB of storage, and 10,000 emails per month, while adding AI paperwork, a Texas compliance pack, and priority email support. Version 1 supports only US-based HOAs. The web app can be installed on Android, iPhone, or iPad home screens, but there is no mobile app.
