ManageHOA vs SpotHOA

ManageHOA is a cloud-based platform for HOA boards and property management companies serving townhome and single-family communities. It covers violations, architectural requests, maintenance and community communication, and management companies can oversee multiple communities from one dashboard. Homeowners can submit architectural applications with images and documents; managers and committee members can review, discuss and vote on them. Violation records can include notices, resident responses, attachments and timestamps, with automated follow-up reminders. Resident and board portals, a mobile application, work orders, board documents and a membership directory are listed alongside announcements, inquiries, notifications and calendars. Other capabilities include visitor and contractor management, staff operations, package tracking, weather alerts and emergency broadcasts. Residents can pay dues through BuildingLink Payments, and the platform is designed to integrate with accounting software. It runs on Android, iOS and the web. Pricing is on request; the product page directs prospective customers to request a demo rather than listing plan tiers or prices.

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.
