Each platform in its own words: who it says it is for, when it is the better answer, and what it publishes on price and trial.
For management companies
TownSq
A management company that wants a polished resident app with a forum, a concierge desk for high-rises, and professional services (bookkeeping, print and mail, resale processing) it can buy by the piece.
Vantaca
A management company at thousands of doors that wants an AI workforce, managed accounting, and an implementation team, and will price it on an order.
PayHOA
The largest published install base among self-managed platforms, with mailing, texting, calls, and a staff-run resale desk included.
Enumerate
A management company that wants HOA accounting with a bookkeeping service behind it and an AI add-on over the ledger, and will sign an annual contract at a $500 monthly minimum.
FRONTSTEPS
A management company that wants Caliber's accounting with direct bank reconciliation, gated-community access control in the same suite, and an implementation team, priced on a demo.
Condo Control
A high-rise that wants a security desk alongside the books: packages, visitor parking, key tracking, patrols, and guest passes.
ManageCasa
A board or company that also runs rentals, marinas, or storage and wants every portfolio on one platform.

Yes. Havn starts from a spreadsheet of units and owners, the chart of accounts and opening balances come from your last statements, and the first 30 days are free with no contract, so you can run one community on Havn before you cancel anything. The owner portal, dues, letters, texts, and resale documents work from the first day.
