Why HavenHOA wins
RunHOA charges $399 a year, in full, whether the community collects any dues that year or not. HavenHOA has no subscription and nothing to pay upfront — you're only charged 1.5% on dues actually recorded, so a quiet season costs nothing. HavenHOA also includes violation tracking and one-click QuickBooks sync, neither of which is confirmed in RunHOA's published feature list.
The money question
RunHOA charges a flat $399/year regardless of community size or dues collected — paid upfront, in full, once a year. HavenHOA has no annual commitment: for our standard 120-home / $165 average-dues example, that's $297/month, charged only as dues are actually recorded, with nothing owed if a community goes quiet.
