PayHOA scores higher overall at 7.9/10 vs 7.4/10. 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. 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.

What the pricing really means
At first glance, RentRedi looks cheaper at $12/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 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 RentRedi wins
- Unlimited properties on all plans with no per-unit fees
- Extremely affordable at $12/month annually for full features
- Strong mobile-first design purpose-built as mobile app
- Tenant-paid screening means no out-of-pocket for landlords
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
Where RentRedi falls short
- Start plan too stripped down with no applications or screening
- ACH $1/transaction and card 2.9% + $0.30 fees add up
- Slow payment deposits reported by users
- Setup takes more time than expected

RentRedi
Target: 1-200 units
