BoardStack

Self-managed HOA ops with AI CC&R assist and published flat tiers from $49/mo — still waitlist/pre-launch as of Oct 2026.

Self-managed boards Flat tier by size 1–500 units Dues/billing only — not fund accounting

BoardStack (hoaboardstack.com) is cloud HOA software aimed at self-managed volunteer boards. The public pitch is one platform for architectural requests, violations, dues collection, documents, board voting/discussions, community feed, and a resident portal — with AI layered on CC&R lookup for design requests and automatic rule citations on violation notices. The About page says it is built by board members for board members, targets roughly 50–500 homes, and claims it is used today by a 164-home self-managed HOA. Contact identity on the site is brand-level only (support@hoaboardstack.com, privacy@hoaboardstack.com); privacy policy last updated November 26, 2025. The .com domain registered November 23, 2025.

Important naming caveat: a separate property at boardstack.app (Angel Campa / BetaList “reserve compliance” pitch, domain registered March 2026) did not resolve in DNS (NXDOMAIN) during this Oct 1, 2026 pass and is not the product documented here. Use https://hoaboardstack.com only.

Pricing on the pricing page (researched October 1, 2026) is a flat-tier story by community size: Up to 50 homes, Up to 150 homes, and Up to 500 homes, with every feature included and unlimited board members and residents. Monthly list prices embedded in the product bundle are $49 / $129 / $199 per month; Pay yearly — save 20% matches the published annual totals $470 / $1,238 / $1,910 per year (about $39 / $103 / $159 per month when billed annually). More than 500 homes → Contact us. Vendor FAQ copy markets a 60-day free trial with no charge until the trial ends, and cancel-anytime after (access through end of billing period; data export). Confirm live checkout, taxes, and whether waitlist vs self-serve signup is what your board will actually get — the homepage and pricing CTAs still push Join the Waitlist / launch offers (including marketed waitlist perks such as six months free at launch and locked-in pricing) even while Sign Up / Log In links exist.

On money and ops, BoardStack is dues-only depth rather than fund accounting. The site markets online ACH and card payments (residents cover processing at checkout — 0.8% ACH max $5, 2.9% + 30¢ card), deposit history, one-click 1099s for contractors, and a standout financial-controls story: changing the community payout bank account requires full-board approval, password re-entry, Stripe-powered bank verification, and automatic resident notification, with extra safeguards for single-member boards (e.g. delayed effect). Physical certified letters are a la carte at $1.50/letter + $0.20 per additional page. There is no public claim of database-enforced operating/reserve fund separation or reserve-study compliance on this site — if that is your must-have, keep looking at deeper accounting tools.

Ops features marketed for boards include structured ARC review with async voting and AI CC&R citations, violation workflows with audit trails, anonymous “from The Board” messaging, polls, document library with access control, CSV bulk import, passkey login, and role-based dashboards. Security pages claim AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3, invite-only access, and hosting on SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001 certified infrastructure (vendor claim — verify under your association’s diligence). Those are strong differentiators on paper for volunteer boards leaving email-and-spreadsheet chaos — and they remain vendor claims until a trial and your attorney/CPA prove fit. This research pass did not find a clear BoardStack (hoaboardstack.com) G2 or Capterra review profile or a dense r/HOA customer thread under this exact brand.

Who it is for: a self-managed board that wants published flat pricing, ARC/violations/comms/dues in one login, and payout-change fraud controls — especially in the published ≤500-home bands — and that is comfortable evaluating an early / waitlist-stage vendor. Who should keep looking: boards that need proven multi-entity fund accounting or a long peer-review trail today; professionally managed CAM portfolios; or anyone who will not adopt until general launch is unambiguous — start with self-managed boards, and compare day-to-day fit and pricing transparency against PayHOA, KindHOA, HomeHerald, and Board-Armor.

Sources

Best for

Self-managed volunteer boards (roughly under ~500 homes) that want one workspace for ARC, violations, dues payments, docs, and board voting — and are willing to evaluate a waitlist/early product with published flat pricing.

Pricing notes

Official pricing page (researched Oct 1, 2026) — flat tiers by community size with every feature on every plan and unlimited board/resident seats. Monthly list prices in the product JS are Up to 50 homes $49/mo, Up to 150 homes $129/mo, Up to 500 homes $199/mo; Pay yearly — save 20% yields published annual totals $470 / $1,238 / $1,910 per year (about $39 / $103 / $159 per month when billed annually). More than 500 homes is contact-us. Vendor markets a 60-day free trial with no charge until the trial ends, cancel anytime (export data; paid access through end of billing period). Pay-as-you-go extras on the pricing page — physical mail $1.50/letter + $0.20 per additional page; online payments billed to residents at checkout (HOA not billed) at 0.8% ACH (max $5) and 2.9% + 30¢ card via Stripe-powered flows. Site still pushes Join the Waitlist / launch messaging (including waitlist perks such as 6 months free at launch and locked-in pricing) alongside Sign Up / Log In, so treat public pricing as published but pre-general-availability until you confirm live checkout. Do not confuse with the separate, currently unreachable boardstack.app brand (Angel Campa / BetaList reserve-compliance pitch). Verify live amounts and launch status on hoaboardstack.com before a board vote.
