PayHOA vs Tenant Turner
PayHOA scores 7.9/10 vs 6.8/10. Best for: Self-managed HOA boards and condo associations that want to handle dues, violations, and voting without hiring a management company.
PayHOA scores higher overall at 7.9/10 vs 6.8/10. 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, PayHOA looks cheaper at $49/month vs $135/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 Tenant Turner wins
- Automates the entire showing process — scheduling, confirming, canceling, and collecting feedback
- Pre-qualification filters screen out unqualified prospects before they schedule a showing
- Self-service phone system can reduce lead calls by 70-100% with optional call center
- Supports electronic lockboxes including Seros, CodeBox, and SentriLock for self-showings
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 Tenant Turner falls short
- Specialized leasing tool only — does not handle rent collection, accounting, or maintenance
- $135/month minimum is expensive for small landlords with only a few vacancies
- Very small review count (14 on Capterra) makes it difficult to assess broadly
- Must be paired with a separate property management platform for full operations
Who is each product built for?
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.
Tenant Turner
Target: 50-2000 units
Tenant Turner is a specialized leasing automation tool, not a full property management platform. It excels at one thing — getting vacancies filled faster through automated showings and lead pre-qualification. Property managers with frequent turnover across many units will see real time savings. However, it must be used alongside a separate PM platform for rent collection, accounting, and maintenance, making the combined cost significant.
