What the pricing really means
PayHOA publishes their pricing upfront, which is a good sign. Yardi Breeze requires you to contact sales for a quote. When a company hides pricing, it usually means the cost is high enough that they want a salesperson to justify it before you see the number. Always ask for total year-one cost, not just the monthly subscription.
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 Yardi Breeze wins
- Backed by Yardi with enterprise reliability and data security
- No onboarding, training, or support fees included
- Competitive $1/unit residential pricing
- Supports residential, commercial, affordable, and associations
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 Yardi Breeze falls short
- Annual agreement required with no month-to-month
- $100-400 monthly minimums exclude small landlords
- Non-Premier lacks lease execution and CRM
- No free trial before annual commitment

Yardi Breeze
Target: 100-1000 units
