PayHOA scores higher overall at 7.9/10 vs 7.7/10. PayHOA is the go-to pick for self-managed HOA and condo boards. The feature set is built exactly for association work, including e-voting, violations, and architectural requests, and 5,000+ associations already use it.

What the pricing really means
At first glance, PayHOA looks cheaper at $49/month vs $49/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.
Where Condo Control wins
- 40+ modules covering amenity bookings, parking control, security logs, parcel tracking, and more
- Much deeper feature set for condo/HOA operations than general PM tools like Buildium or AppFolio
- AI-powered resident self-service on Premium tier reduces board workload for common questions
- Strong review scores across Capterra (4.6, 116 reviews) and G2 (4.5, 56 reviews)
Where PayHOA wins
- Purpose-built for HOAs with e-voting, violation tracking, and architectural request workflows
- Trusted by 5,000+ associations, which is a strong adoption signal for niche software
- $49/month for up to 25 units works out to under $2/unit for small associations
- 565 Capterra reviews at 4.7 stars gives real confidence in the product
Where Condo Control falls short
- Pricing for Standard and Premium tiers is not published, so you need a sales call to get a quote
- Not a rental management tool. No lease management, tenant screening, or vacancy features
- The three-tier structure means useful features like e-voting and amenity bookings require upgrading from Basic
- Geared toward condos and HOAs, not a fit for single-family or multifamily rental portfolios
Where PayHOA falls short
- Transaction fees add up fast, 3.25% + $0.50 per credit card payment and $1.95 per eCheck
- Not a rental property manager, no lease management, tenant screening, or vacancy tools
- Pricing jumps $50 at each tier break, so a 26-unit HOA pays double what a 25-unit one does
- No API for custom integrations or connecting to external accounting software
Who is each product built for?
Condo Control
Target: Condos and HOAs
Condo Control goes much deeper on community management than most PM software. Where PayHOA covers the basics well, Condo Control adds parking management, security logs, parcel tracking, and 40+ other modules that larger or more complex communities actually need. The tradeoff is opaque pricing on the higher tiers and a sales process to get started. If your condo has a pool, gym, parking garage, and a concierge desk, this is built for you. If you just need dues collection and basic communication, PayHOA is simpler and cheaper.
PayHOA
Target: Up to 500 units
PayHOA is the go-to pick for self-managed HOA and condo boards. The feature set is built exactly for association work, including e-voting, violations, and architectural requests, and 5,000+ associations already use it. The transaction fees on dues collection can sting, especially for credit card payments at 3.25%. If your association collects $100K+ in annual dues, do the math on those fees before committing.
