HavenHOA vs TownSq

Why HavenHOA wins
TownSq's free tier covers messaging and basic dues collection, but by its own published limitations, no tier — free or paid — includes fund accounting, reserve compliance, or QuickBooks sync. HavenHOA includes full double-entry accounting with one-click QuickBooks sync at every size, with no free-tier-to-paid-tier cliff to plan around and no monthly subscription.
The money question
TownSq's paid tiers scale with unit count — Pro runs $90/month and Advanced $145/month for communities up to 300 units, with real accounting still not included at any tier. HavenHOA's $297/month for a 120-home community (1.5% of $19,800 in dues) includes full double-entry accounting with QuickBooks sync from the start — nothing to upgrade into.
