Self-managed boards under ~100 units

PayHOA-class tools for volunteer treasurers — dues, ACH, paper mail, and a simple owner portal without a management-company operating system.

Volunteer boards running a small association do not need a CAM platform. They need to collect assessments, keep a paper trail, and hand the books to the next treasurer without a weekend of training.

This category is for communities that are typically under about 100 units, where a board member is the operator. Look for published pricing, ACH plus card, optional physical mail, and a portal owners will actually use. Be wary of “accounting” that is really a dues ledger with no fund separation.
