HomeownerHub vs the alternatives

The comparison your board can send around.

Self-managed HOA boards have three real options: hire a management company, buy software built for management firms, or fight a spreadsheet. Here's how HomeownerHub stacks up on each. Where a competitor doesn't publish something, we say so.

vs Management company

A management firm does the paperwork for a fee it quotes you. HomeownerHub is $9,698 a year for a 180-door HOA on the annual plan. The board still does the governing; the AI drafts the paperwork.

$898 a month on the monthly plan. Put your firm's quote next to it.

vs Vantaca

Vantaca is built for management companies, sold by custom quote with no trial. Its AI is real, but it is sold to firms with an operations team, not to volunteer boards.

Great if you have an ops team. Most self-managed boards don't.

vs the spreadsheet

Free, but expensive in volunteer hours: the reconciliation nobody had time for, the violation notice that didn't go out, the resident question that sat in someone's inbox.

The status quo is the most expensive option.
