Is KindHOA really free?

Yes. Our 'Good Neighbor' tier is 100% free forever. There are no setup fees, no monthly minimums, and no per-unit charges. You get dues collection, maintenance requests, community messaging, and more at no cost.

How does KindHOA make money if it's free?

We offer an optional 'Board Automation' tier for $29/month that adds advanced features like AI document search, automated late fees, and email broadcasts. We also earn a small portion of the standard processing fees when residents pay via credit card, at no cost to the HOA.

Is KindHOA built for professional management companies?

No. KindHOA is built exclusively for self-managed, volunteer HOA boards. We removed the complexity of enterprise software so neighbors can easily manage their own communities.

How are dues collected?

We use Stripe for secure, bank-level encrypted payments. Residents can pay via ACH bank transfer or credit card. Funds are deposited directly into your HOA's bank account.

Comparison Guide

KindHOA vs. EasyHOA

Unlike EasyHOA, which charges a monthly software fee based on how many homes you have, KindHOA offers a completely free tier for neighborhoods that just need to collect dues online and manage operations.

No. 02— Why Boards Switch

From per-unit to free.

No Per-Unit Pricing

Traditional software like EasyHOA charges you for every home in your neighborhood. This makes sense for a property manager handling 10,000 doors, but it penalizes self-managed volunteer boards. KindHOA does not charge per-unit fees. Our core platform is free forever.

Built for Volunteers

We stripped away the confusing enterprise dashboards. KindHOA feels like a modern app you already know how to use. Setup takes 15 minutes, not days. We focus on what actually matters: dues collection, ARC requests, and communication.
