Frequently asked

Common questions before you try it

How is BoardStack different from CINC or AppFolio for HOA boards?

CINC and AppFolio are built for professional property management companies running hundreds of communities. BoardStack is designed for self-managed volunteer boards running a single community, flat pricing by community size, state compliance built in, and no features that assume you have a full-time property manager.

What should HOA boards look for when comparing governance software?

Prioritize reserve fund management, meeting minutes storage, and state-specific compliance features. Many platforms bundle these with amenity booking and tenant portals built for professional managers. If your board is volunteer-run, those features add cost and complexity without adding value.

Can volunteer boards actually use HOA software without a property manager?

Yes, software designed for self-managed communities assumes a board treasurer, not a dedicated accounting team. Look for platforms that include compliance checklists and can generate state-required reserve fund disclosures without needing an accountant to interpret the output.

What happens after the board picks a plan?

Pick a plan first. After that click, you can enter your email so we can follow up with availability and next steps. No setup fees apply when you subscribe, and pricing still scales by community size, not by user count.
