Top 10 Reasons to Try a 30-Day HOA Software Trial

HOA software is designed to make managing your association easier by leveraging all the benefits of modern technology—like automation, task management, and multi-channel communication—so you can focus on what matters most—the people in your community.

Self Managed HOA Software

Today’s HOA members are more tech savvy than ever before and are likely already encountering technology trends like AI in their day-to-day lives. Whether it’s business software they’re using at work or they’re just firing up ChatGTP to help resolve a personal task, these applications are becoming more and more ubiquitous.

Homeowners associations are now seeing the benefits of this higher level of functionality from HOA software, which can provide an all-in-one management and communication hub for board members and residents to connect.

PayHOA software offers efficient HOA management tools for:

  •  Budgeting, accounting, and financial reporting
  • Mass, multi-channel communication
  • Tracking maintenance requests
  • Managing rules violations
  • Secure storage and multi-level access to community data
  • Resident portals for automated digital dues payments, communicating with board members, and more.

With our 30-day free software trial, you can decide if PayHOA is the right fit for your neighborhood. Here are 10 reasons to try our free trial.

PayHOA 30-day free trial for HOA Software

Reason # 1: No Financial Risk

HOAs are naturally risk-averse when it comes to new financial investments, as everything in an association’s budget must be accounted for. The benefit must outweigh the cost in a way that can be transparently justified. Luckily, PayHOA’s free software trial is exactly that—free. When you sign up for a 30-day free trial, you get full access to our all-in-one HOA management software as a board member or property manager. We don’t require a credit card or other payment information, and you can cancel at any time during the trial period.

Reason #2: Full Access to HOA Management Features

Far too many companies are comfortable limiting access to key features when you sign up for a free software trial. PayHOA believes the only way to test if our software is right for your community is to truly test it—that means full access to all our integrative features. These include powerful automation-driven tools for financial management, communication, and community management that you can integrate into your HOA with the help of a dedicated Customer Support Team.

Reason #3: New Tech Comes with a Learning Curve

All new software comes with a learning curve when integrating it into your community management systems. Whether you’re switching from a different HOA management software or transitioning from disparate systems like spreadsheets or physical accounting ledgers and dues check collection, it takes time for volunteers to learn the new system.

Even with PayHOA’s easy-to-use functionality and automation for the everyday volunteer, you still need to sync your community data with the new software, as well as learn how to use it efficiently. PayHOA offers this 30-day trial period to truly learn whether our software is right for your association’s needs. Need help getting the most out of PayHOA? Chat with us online, email, call, or schedule live one-on-one meetings for help with any of our program features—for free!

Reason #4: Check Compatibility with Your Housing Community

Each HOA and community is unique, and there are no cookie-cutter solutions. A large, multi-property condo association with a third-party property manager has different priorities than a small or medium-sized HOA self-managed by board volunteers.

Our 30-day trial period allows you to determine if the software caters to your community’s specific needs. PayHOA believes that our software can help a variety of different HOAs with our host of powerful features such as simple-to-use general ledger accounting and budgeting templates and tools, financial reporting, bulk invoicing and collections, vendor and community management, secure storage for association data, and tools for mass communication like text, email, phone messaging, message boards, polls and surveys, and a system to track homeowner requests.

Reason # 5: Evaluating Software Effectiveness

Testing any new software demonstrates its potential effectiveness in improving management efficiency. Over the course of a 30-day trial period, you can notice whether PayHOA software is helping you better manage day-to-day tasks like dues collection and tracking rules violations, connecting with vendors, and maintaining the financial health of your properties. Experience how PayHOA allows your volunteers to be more efficient, freeing them to focus attention on the most critical tasks on their plates.

HOA Software is scalable

Reason #6: Assessing Software Scalability

The best HOA management software is designed to grow with your association’s needs. Scalability means that as your community grows and changes over time, whether that’s the number of residents, properties, or priorities, you need a software solution that can easily adapt to these changes. Our trial period offers an opportunity to see if our software allows you to seamlessly transition from your older management systems and continue to boost your management efficiency in a dynamic, ever-changing HOA landscape.

Reason # 7: Ease of Integration

One of the main reasons to use all-in-one HOA software is to avoid the inefficiencies of running multiple accounts and systems separately. PayHOA automatically connects your bank account to our accounting software and updates your ledger with each new transaction. A free trial period allows you to test the ease of integration with systems like Stripe for payment processing, Twilio for mass communication with residents, and Amazon Web Services for secure data storage.

Reason #8: The User Experience

Learning how to use your new HOA management software shouldn’t become a second job for your volunteers. Your software should feel intuitive and easy to use. Try PayHOA’s user-friendly design and navigation between different functions and tasks at the click of a button. Rate the experience for yourself and see how easy it is to interface with the software, so you can quickly accomplish your goal and move on to the next important task.

Reason #9: Evaluating Customer Support

Let’s face it, many times you’ll walk away from a trial software experience with more questions than answers. When you reach out to customer support, the feedback you receive is basic and doesn’t help you make a purchasing decision. It feels like a wasted opportunity. Use our 30-day trial period to put our customer service to the test. The best customer service experience provides prompt technical feedback that allows you to get to the root of the issue. PayHOA offers a variety of resources for members including documents and form templates, customer service, and a bookkeeping team on call, Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm to help in person with your questions.

Reason #10: Value for Money

This is likely the most important factor in an HOA Bookkeeper’s mind, and the question they’re left to answer before deciding: Does this HOA software provide a value higher than its cost to the association? It’s a question you’ll have to answer for yourself, but our 30-day free trial allows you to explore every feature of our software and support from the PayHOA team in integrating it into your community. The best HOA management software will save you thousands of dollars annually in third-party property management fees by allowing you to effectively self-manage your community.

HOA Management Doesn’t Have to Be Hard. PayHOA’s 30-Day Trial Shows You How

Nobody knows your HOA and its priorities and needs better than you do. That’s why PayHOA designed its software to adapt to your community—not the other way around. Our team is available to be as hands-on or hands-off as you need to support you through the integration process and beyond.

Our free 30-day trial lets you have full access to all features of PayHOA’s management software, in order to test important metrics like scalability, compatibility, effectiveness, ease of integration, and its overall value to your community.

Seize the opportunity to test our software before making an important purchase decision. Try PayHOA’s 30-day free trial today.
