What held up
Where it fell short
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 self-managed boards
ManageCasa
A board or company that also runs rentals, marinas, or storage and wants every portfolio on one platform.
Condo Control
A high-rise that wants a security desk alongside the books: packages, visitor parking, key tracking, patrols, and guest passes.
HOAlife
A community whose work is violations and architectural review, with a field team doing inspections and the books already in QuickBooks Online.
EasyHOA
A small board that wants one flat monthly fee with a website and a phone line included.
HOA Express
A community that wants a polished public website with documents, blasts, and a payment button at a very low price, and runs its books and enforcement elsewhere.
Perfect HOA
A self-managed board that wants fund accounting, a mail room, an SMS inbox, and amenity booking at a small-board price, with online-only votes.
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.
CINC Systems
A management company at a thousand doors or more that wants direct bank integrations, lockbox, and an AI layer over the ledger, and will price it on a quote.
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.

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.
