For small associations
HOA software that doesn’t punish you for being small
Most HOA platforms are priced for management companies and sold by the door. For a small association that maths stops working: you pay real money for software your board uses a few hours a month, out of dues collected from a few dozen households. There is no size limit here — the flat price simply bites hardest when there are fewest doors to spread it over.

What a small board is actually up against
Not a lack of features. A lack of hours, and a budget that has to be defended to neighbours at an annual meeting.
The whole board is three people
A treasurer, a secretary, a president — all volunteers with jobs. Nobody has a week to learn a platform, and nobody is going to run an implementation project.
Every dollar is visible
At 40 homes, a $99/month platform is roughly $30 per household per year, and somebody will ask about it. At $19 flat it is under $6 and the question does not come up.
The board turns over
Records live in one volunteer’s inbox until they rotate off, and then they don’t. What a small association needs most is somewhere shared for the history to sit.
The per-door maths
What a typical per-unit platform costs an association each year, against HOA Grove’s flat price for that size.
| Homes | Per-unit platform | HOA Grove | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | $588/yr | $228/yr | $360 |
| 50 | $708/yr | $228/yr | $480 |
| 100 | $1,188/yr | $468/yr | $720 |
| 150 | $1,548/yr | $468/yr | $1,080 |
| 300 | $2,388/yr | $828/yr | $1,560 |
| 500 | $2,988/yr | $828/yr | $2,160 |

Learn moreQuestions small boards ask
Is there a minimum community size?
No. Up to 50 homes is $19 a month whether you have twelve or fifty, and nothing is switched off at the bottom end.
We only need dues collection. Is this overkill?
Use the parts you need. Plenty of communities start with dues and documents and never touch work orders. You are not paying extra for the rest, so there is nothing to switch off.
How long does setup take for a small community?
An afternoon. Under a hundred homes you can type the addresses in directly; send us the list if you would rather not. See how switching works.
We are not small. Is this page telling us to go away?
Not at all — this page exists because small associations are the ones most obviously overcharged by per-unit pricing, not because there is a size limit. There is no cap on homes, residents or admins, and the flat price saves a 500-home association considerably more than it saves a 50-home one. What decides fit is what you need rather than how many doors you have: if your board wants a general ledger and full financial statements in the same system, see what HOA Grove does not do.
What if we grow?
The price steps up only when you pass 50 homes, and again at 150, and never again after that. Even the largest size is a fraction of per-door pricing at the same count. That is rather the point of charging per community instead of per door.
