KindHOA is a strong PayHOA alternative for volunteer boards that want predictable software cost: Good Neighbor is $0/month with online dues, documents, maintenance, and formal elections; Board Automation is a flat $29/month (not scaled by home count). PayHOA remains a solid choice when you need mature HOA accounting at tiered rates starting at $49/month (annual billing, up to 25 units) on payhoa.com/pricing.
Yes. PayHOA was formerly marketed as LegFi. Capterra and older reviews may still use the LegFi name — the product and company are PayHOA today.
PayHOA publishes about $99/month (annual billing) for 51–100 units with all features included at every tier (source: payhoa.com/pricing, 2026). KindHOA stays $0/month on Good Neighbor or $29/month flat on Board Automation regardless of unit count — so a 100-home self-managed board often saves roughly $70+/month on software subscription alone before payment processing fees.
KindHOA covers core PayHOA workflows: Stripe dues collection, resident directory, maintenance, documents, ARC, and announcements. Formal elections are included on the free Good Neighbor plan. PayHOA includes deeper native HOA accounting and violation tooling at every tier; KindHOA Smart Assistant (AI document Q&A) and email broadcasts require Board Automation ($29/mo). Both support online payments; KindHOA adds iOS/Android apps with push notifications.
