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.
