"Intuitive, Secure, and Supportive—The All-in-One HOA Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

PayHOA is the management solution that we have been looking for. The user interface is very intuitive. PayHOA customer support is very responsive by way of phone and email. They also provide a great AI help chat. The communication piece provides instant push messages by way of phone, text and email. Our data is accessed by way of a secure web site. We also use the PayHOA Weebly website builder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

There is no payroll module with PayHOA. Payroll would make PayHOA truly one-stop-shopping. We decided to go with ADP for payroll. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Earl Laing of PayHOA

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience here (and on Capterra). We really appreciate you spreading the word.

We're glad PayHOA has been the solution your board was looking for, and that our support team has been there every step of the way during your transition. It's great to hear your board and members are happy with the platform.

The feedback on payroll is noted. It's not something we offer today, but it's helpful to know where you'd like to see us grow.

Thanks for being part of the PayHOA community.

"Efficient and Accurate Payment Tracking"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

I really like PayHOA for its ability to help me keep track of deposits, which simplifies managing roughly 50 deposits every month and ensures all payments have been received on a timely basis. The reporting mechanism stands out as a significant feature, making tasks like taxes and account reconciliation much more straightforward by allowing me to check which payments have been made by unit. Additionally, sending out invoices is a breeze with PayHOA. I can send invoices to all 36 units at once, even if each unit has a different amount, and it's still simple. I find it to be a major time saver, especially with the ability to send invoices and messages via email to all the individual units. It's also nice to have a database with all of our owners and their contact information, so I never have to look up emails because they're all right there in the system for me, saving me time. Overall, the accuracy and time-saving features make PayHOA invaluable for our condo association. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized HOA Management with Strong Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

I like that PayHOA allows us to handle invoicing directly through the software. It's also great to keep track of communications we send out, including seeing if emails have been received, opened, and if links within them have been clicked. The new voting feature is pretty good too, letting us vote for board members or changes to our CC& Rs. Another thing I appreciate is the ability to store key documents all in one central location, making administration tasks much more manageable. We had great support from the software provider, and the initial setup was fairly easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

I'd like better integration with Gmail. Right now, it would be nice if we could actually use Gmail and have it integrated more tightly with PayHOA so we don't have a separate window to have to create and send emails Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Earl Laing of PayHOA

We're glad PayHOA is helping you manage your HOA without the cost of an outside provider, and that the invoicing, communication, and payment tracking are working well for you.

We appreciate the feedback on setting up different payment schedules too. We'll pass that along to our product team.

Thanks for choosing PayHOA, and for the review!

"Designed specifically for HOAs but Slow Support and Outdated AI Help"
3/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

I like that it is designed specifically for HOAs. I like that you can see who has seen and read emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

The customer support is slow and non responsive - several times I have had to wait days for a simple question.. The AI assistant is out of date (like, it will say "click on this button" but the program has been changed and that button doesn't exist anymore). The third party they use for payments to vendors takes weeks before the vendor receives money. The maintenance requests are not easy to review or prioritize or update. The system does not allow for autopay to be assigned to a specific unit. The system does not correctly report items on the reports if the invoice date and payment date are not in the same month. We would like more options on reporting and accounting. For example, we would like to be able to have a main/operating account and reserve/savings accounts. But we need the option to combine or separate those on reports. Typically the main account is budgeted and the reserve is not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Earl Laing of PayHOA

We're glad you appreciate that the platform was built specifically for communities and the transparency needed for effective management.

Everything else here, the support delays, the outdated AI support assistant, vendor payment timing, maintenance request workflow and the reporting and account structure gaps, is more than I want to try to run through in a review reply.

I'd rather get you directly connected with our team to work through all of it. Feel free to email me at earl@payhoa.com and we'll set up time to go through each one. Thanks!

"A Lifesaver for HOA Management"
5/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

I like PayHOA because it's incredibly easy to use and streamlines everything, which saves a lot of money by not having to outsource accounting. The accounting features are just as good as QuickBooks, but even better since they're tailored towards HOAs. The onboarding specialist makes the setup process really simple and it doesn't take much time, and they even offer an accountant for doing taxes at the end of the year for an extra fee, which makes it really easy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

I would not change anything about PayHoa.. it has exceeded my expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Earl Laing of PayHOA

Kelly, "as good as QuickBooks but tailored for HOAs" is basically our whole pitch in one line, so it's great to hear it's actually holding up. The onboarding specialist and being able to hand off taxes at year-end sound like they took the two most stressful parts of running this and made them simple.

Thanks for taking the time to share this!

"An intuitive dashboard that works for all; Voting workflows that streamline decisions"
4/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

I think the voting workflow (which we just recently discovered/enabled) is the most useful way for our board to formalize decisions. Its also useful to look up info and history on homes/homeowners when needed. The dashboard is pretty intuitive so most board members can navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

For some older board members the features may be more overwhelming. For the violations, I wish I could create an automated workflow based on the votes so that once majority (4+ of 7) is achieved, it would automatically approve or complete the workflow. I also don't like that for some reason my wife (who isn't a board member) continues to get HOA email notifications which is drama that's none of her business as a she isn't on the board. Probably a setting since she lives at same address as me but I haven't figured out how to prevent this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Earl Laing of PayHOA

Putting dues, violations, and architectural requests in one hub is the whole point of PayHOA, so cutting real platforms out of your day says a lot. It's also nice to hear that the voting workflow is already helping formalize decisions.

Automating violation approvals once a vote hits majority is already shaping the direction we're building toward (we've got some AI features in the works that will help with stuff like this).

For board members who find things overwhelming at first, intercom.help/payhoa has walkthroughs that help ease people in.

And that email notification landing with your wife sounds like a contact record mix-up rather than expected behavior, worth a quick note to support@payhoa.com so they can sort out the setting.

Here if you ever need anything. Thanks for the review and for being part of the PayHOA community!

"Efficient HOA Management with Room for Improvement"
5/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

I like that with PayHOA, payments are made online, so we no longer have to actually go to the bank to make payments. The accounting and invoicing features are really valuable because they help us generate and collect our annual dues efficiently. We're able to keep track of everything that's being spent, and multiple board members can log in to see where we stand financially. The initial setup was relatively simple; we were able to download files in CSV format and easily export them, and it even added a picture of each house for more clarity. Now, we can see not only where the payments are going but also what the house looks like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

I find the ability to merge names when sending bills is lacking because I have to choose either the main person, primary householder, or the secondary. It would be nice if they can merge that. I also think the website builder needs modernization to look more up-to-date, as it currently feels very basic and reminiscent of the 1990s. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Earl Laing of PayHOA

Chapmans, thanks for flagging the name merging when sending bills, we've passed that along to our product team.

On the website builder, that sounds like it might be from our older Weebly-based sites. We've since launched a new one built directly into PayHOA, and it's free. It also comes with Penny, an AI chatbot that can answer homeowner questions for you. Happy to point you in the right direction, feel free to reach out to me directly at earl@payhoa.com. You can also check out intercom.help/payhoa/en/articles/12659365-introducing-payhoa-website-builder for a full rundown.

"Easy HOA Management, Cost-Saving Solution"
5/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

I really appreciate how PayHOA makes it easy for our small homeowner association to manage itself without needing to pay for a professional manager. It saves us a lot of money by not having to pay $700 a month for a property management firm to handle our finances and business filings. Additionally, the platform takes care of collecting dues, paying vendor expenses, and even filing tax reports all within the system. I find it really easy to use, and it meets all our needs since our organization is small. The initial setup was very easy, with a user-friendly process that guided me through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

I have no dislikes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Earl Laing of PayHOA

That $700 a month you're not paying to a property manager anymore is exactly the kind of math we want small associations to see, Steve. Sounds like PayHOA is covering the dues, vendor payments and tax filings well enough that self-managing has felt genuinely doable for your board.

Thanks for the review!

"Automation and Transparency Made Easy with PayHOA"
5/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

I really like PayHOA for its ease of setup; I was able to batch-load information quickly even during the demo period, which impressed me enough to enroll our HOA. The software automates the invoicing and collection processes, alleviating the need for manual tasks. I also appreciate the automation of these processes and the transparency it provides for our residents, making financials clearer. The continuous addition of features that ease the administration tasks is also a big plus. Providing residents access to their own unit information and our overall financials is beneficial, even though most rely on AutoPay for dues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

I sometimes mess up journal entries and have to re-enter them because I forget which entries to make credits and which entries to make debits, but it's easy to fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Earl Laing of PayHOA

Batch-loading your data during the demo, and that being enough to convince you to enroll, says a lot about how the onboarding experience is supposed to go, Ralph. Glad the invoicing and collection automation is cutting down manual work, and that residents get real visibility into their own info and the finances too.

Debits and credits trip up almost everyone at some point, so it's good that fixing a misfired journal entry is quick when it happens.

Thanks for taking the time to share this.

"Consolidates Tasks Efficiently But Needs Better Usability"
4/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

I like that PayHOA consolidates a lot of fragmented tasks into one platform, making it a one-stop shop instead of having dozens of spreadsheets. It replaces a patchwork of scattered tools, like Excel sheets, personal email threads, and paper forms, with a singular automated workflow that cuts down on manual administrative labor. For me, I logged in and it just worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

I find PayHOA's lightweight accounting system to be a bit restrictive at times. Syncing live bank feeds occasionally presents hiccups too. Additionally, non tech-savvy residents can get confused easily with its interface. I think it would help if it used more colloquial language like 'HOA dues' and 'processing fee' instead of the more complex terms it sometimes uses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Earl Laing of PayHOA

Adam, "I logged in and it just worked" might be my favorite feedback. Especially since swapping a patchwork of spreadsheets, email threads and paper forms for one workflow is the whole point of building PayHOA.

The accounting flexibility and bank feed sync hiccups are fair notes, and the idea of plain-language wording for residents is great. Thanks for that, we'll pass that along.

Appreciate you being part of the PayHOA community!
