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.

"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!

"Lower Costs and More Efficient Operations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

Easy process for invoicing and communicating with owners. Allows us to do things ourselves that were previously contracted out. Customer support has been very attentive, and it has lowered our cost to manage the association. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

This is not unique to PayHOA; it's the same with all online payment processing services. It takes several days from the date a monthly owner assessment is made until the funds are available in our bank account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use Invoicing and Online Payments That Deliver Strong ROI"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

We have found that PayHOA is easy to use for our members and has excellent invoicing and online payment capability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

We haven’t run into any serious issues with PayHOA so far. The system operates as advertised, and overall performance has been solid. The pricing may be a bit steep for a smaller operation like ours, but the ROI still seems reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PayHOA Delivered Fast, Affordable HOA Billing With Robust Security"
5/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

PayHOA met the needs of our 73-home HOA at an affordable price when we needed a new billing system within six weeks. We were able to import most of the homeowner and fiscal data from the previous fiscal year and have automatic billing ready in just a few weeks. Some manual entry was still required, but it only took a few hours total to complete 12 months of data. Security permissions are also robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

The website builder isn’t able to publish links to documents that we want to make available to the general public without requiring a secure login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Earl Laing of PayHOA

Marty, getting a 73-home HOA live with a year of imported data in a six-week window is a tight turnaround, and we're glad PayHOA held up. The security permissions call-out means a lot too. That side of things gets a lot of attention from us behind the scenes.

On the website builder feedback, you're right. Requiring a secure login for document access was an intentional choice in the initial build of that feature. That said, public-facing document links are already on our product team's radar with logged feature requests, and feedback from a webmaster on this one helps make the case.

Appreciate you being part of the PayHOA community!

"Intuitive and Accurate, But Needs Better Communication"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

I really like the ease of use that PayHOA offers. Running reports is very intuitive and easy to use, which makes sharing information simple. The initial setup was extremely easy; it only took a couple of hours. I also appreciate the accuracy of their reports, which is why we switched to PayHOA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

The problem we have is that every once in a while it's difficult to get communication if there is a problem with the system. I wish there was an easier way to contact the team to help us resolve issues quicker. Contacting PayHOA can be difficult at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Earl Laing of PayHOA

Thanks for the review, Peter.

We're glad the ease of use, fast setup, and report accuracy have made the switch worth it, especially giving your HOA members visibility into finances without going through the board every time.

Regarding the communication issues you mentioned, the chat icon in the bottom-left corner when you're logged into the platform is a direct line to our support team. It connects you to live chat or phone during business hours, and email after hours, so it should get you a faster response than other channels. We take a lot of pride in our world-class customer support, so if you continue to struggle to get in touch with us for any reason, you can reach out to us directly at support@payhoa.com.

Appreciate you being part of the PayHOA community!

"Real-Time HOA Finances, Dues Tracking, and Easy Voting."
4.5/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

This software helps us keep track of homeowners’ dues, including who has paid and who is delinquent. It also makes it easy to track expenses, so everyone can see our finances in real time. We also use it for Architectural Requests and voting, which has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

Adding a new category to transactions isn’t very straightforward. I also wish there were an option to receive and archive emails, rather than only being able to send them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about PayHOA?

Platform is easy to use, Excellent Technical Support, Efficient HOA Platform for a small (45 homes in our community) Self managed Community, good value of money based on the features provided by the payHOA Software Platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayHOA?

Certain Available Features are hard to find- example creating a template for Violation, had to navigate through the Software to figure out on how to create a Template, Voting Ballot Description Text box should have formatting capabilities, finding calendar (Events) is not very intuitive, needs to be the one of the easily available option on the left side bar, I don't seem to see an electronic payment option to the HOA Vendor, wish there was one, if there is one I am not able to find it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Earl Laing of PayHOA

Thanks for the great review. We're glad PayHOA has been easy to use and a good value for your community, and that our support team has been there when you needed it. We're biased, but they're the best.

Your feedback on user experience and findability is really helpful, and we've passed this along to our product team. On electronic vendor payments, that's something we're actively building, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, our Knowledge Base (intercom.help/payhoa) walks through templates, and many other features at your own pace, and our support team (support@payhoa.com) is happy to point you to anything that's tricky to find.
