HOA Express review

HOA Express is the cheapest way for a small HOA to get a proper website and a reliable way to reach owners. The free plan covers up to 50 households with unlimited pages and storage, documents, calendar events, board and committee pages and news articles. Inform, from $15 a month billed yearly for up to 25 households, adds a custom domain, resident and pet directories, visitor tracking, photo galleries and removes ads. Engage, from $21 a month, adds blast emails and texts with 50 monthly text credits, up to 15 professional email accounts, online payments, custom forms, surveys, resident groups and mailed letters. There are no setup fees and a 30-day money-back guarantee. It is not full HOA management software: there is no general ledger, no violation workflow and no architectural review, so boards that need accounting will pair it with a bookkeeping tool or choose PayHOA instead. For communication alone, it is excellent value.

Who it is for

Small volunteer-run HOAs that mainly need a website, announcements and simple online payments.
