Why HavenHOA wins
PayHOA is priced and built around payment collection and basic bookkeeping. HavenHOA includes that same online dues collection, plus a full double-entry general ledger with one-click QuickBooks sync, digital elections with proxy voting and quorum tracking, and a complete violations and maintenance workflow PayHOA's governance tools don't match — all with no monthly subscription. You pay 1.5% only on dues actually recorded, whether that's every month or none.
The money question
PayHOA's published self-managed pricing starts at $49/month billed yearly for 0-25 units and adds separate payment transaction fees on top. HavenHOA has no subscription and no tier to grow into: a community recording $15,000/month in dues pays $225/month, with the entire platform included from day one.
