Solume

AI-assisted HOA and condo ops for volunteer boards — quote pricing, 30-day trial, and reserve-study tracking as a first-class pitch.

Boards and CAMs Custom quote 1–5,000 units Some bookkeeping; confirm fund separation

Solume (community.solume.com) is cloud HOA and condo association software from Solume, Inc., a Delaware corporation based in Atlanta (2451 Cumberland Parkway, Suite 3156, Atlanta, GA 30339; hello@solume.com, +1 888 868 9886). Founder Joe Braun is credited on the company’s condo-software blog. The public pitch is an all-in-one platform for volunteer boards: dues and budgeting, reserve-study tracking, vendor procurement, maintenance scheduling, ARC requests, violation tracking, owner/resident communication, and a centralized property/member database — with Solume Assistant layered on for AI answers against the community’s CC&Rs, bylaws, and relevant regulations.

Audience positioning is primarily self-managed boards, with explicit room for community managers / co-management. Marketing repeatedly says the product was built for volunteer HOAs and condo associations rather than legacy CAM suites; the Georgia communities blog also states that community managers and management companies can use the same system. The get-quote form lists roles for HOA/condo board members, property/community managers, and other. PickHOA therefore treats audience as both, with the strongest fit story still on self-managed boards. No hard public unit min/max was published; marketing discusses small volunteer communities and at least one case-study-style mention of a 300+ unit Florida condo, so the schema soft range here is 1–5,000 pending your quote conversation — not a vendor-published band.

Pricing (researched October 2, 2026) is quote-only. There is no public pricing page with dollars. Buyers submit Request a Quote or start a 30-day free trial. Condo-management blog copy says pricing scales with community size and does not lock core features behind higher-tier packages, and that Solume offers 100% free onboarding. Terms (last updated July 31, 2024) disclose setup fees, monthly subscription fees, transaction fees, and custom-programming fees, all non-refundable, with automatic debit of the payment method on file and month-to-month renewal after an initial post-trial month unless canceled (support@solume.com). Exact list prices, who pays payment-processing fees, and ACH/card percentages were not printed as a public rate card in this pass — treat any third-party aggregator numbers as unverified and insist on a written quote.

On money and accounting depth, Solume lands in mixed territory for PickHOA: more than dues-only collection, not proven CAM-grade fund accounting. Feature pages market HOA budgeting, invoicing, transaction tracking with receipt attachments, profit-and-loss and cash-flow style reporting, automated dues reminders, and homeowner ACH or credit card payments (marketing calls out Stripe). The dedicated reserve study product surface is a real differentiator on paper — live/dynamic reserve tracking, funding scenario explorer, projected-vs-actual costs, vendor procurement linkage, and “integrate your reserve study data at no additional cost” claims versus static PDF studies. Vendor blog content also describes separate operating/reserve visibility as a core need the platform addresses. What this research pass did not find is a clear public claim of database-enforced multi-entity fund accounting comparable to Caliber/Enumerate-class CAM ledgers, nor a published chart-of-accounts deep dive. Have your treasurer and CPA walk fund separation, bank feeds, year-end export, and audit trail in the trial. Compare accounting posture under accounting / reserve.

Ops and AI features marketed include Solume Assistant (governing-document Q&A; compliance checks framed around local/state/federal HOA rules; conversation privacy limited to the logged-in user; vendor FAQ says assistant queries are not used to train the model), automated community notices, maintenance schedules and action-item calendars, ARC intake/approval, violation notices and case tracking, vendor quote requests and project tracking, and centralized home/member records. Terms explicitly say Solume is not a property management company and that the Services do not constitute legal or financial advice — AI and compliance tooling are assists, not counsel.

Caveats grounded in this pass: quote opacity (no public sticker), thin independent reviews (no clear G2 or Capterra profile and no dense r/HOA thread under this brand on Oct 2, 2026; TrustRadius had a bot/challenge wall and was not used as a review source), and the need to validate reserve-study depth and bookkeeping rigor live rather than from marketing alone. Homepage testimonials (e.g. named HOA president / condo VP quotes) are vendor-selected.

Who it is for: a self-managed HOA or condo board that wants AI document help and living reserve tracking in the same login, is fine evaluating via trial + quote, and may share the system with a community manager. Who should keep looking: boards that need a published self-serve $/mo ladder today (BoardStack, PayHOA, KindHOA, HOA Ally); portfolios that need proven native fund accounting as the system of record (Enumerate, CINC Systems, Vantaca, FRONTSTEPS); or buyers who will not adopt without a dense third-party review trail. Start with self-managed boards and professional CAM.

Best for

Self-managed HOA and condo boards (and co-managing community managers) that want AI CC&R help plus live reserve-study tracking in one platform and are willing to buy via quote rather than a published price ladder.
