If you’re researching HOA and condo software on Capterra, Condo Control shows up consistently. It’s also built around a very specific kind of building, which is worth understanding before comparing it feature-for-feature with BoostHOA.
Who Condo Control is built for
Condo Control is aimed squarely at condos and high-rise communities with staffed front desks. Its feature set reflects that: a security and concierge console for tracking visitor entry, package handling, and incident logs; amenity booking for shared spaces like gyms, party rooms, and guest suites; document storage; service requests; and resident communication tools. It’s used by property management companies, condo boards, HOAs, and the security firms that staff their lobbies — but the concierge and front-desk workflows are clearly the core of the product, not an add-on.
Pricing: how each one charges
Condo Control doesn’t publish pricing. It’s priced per unit — a base monthly rate determined by the total number of units in a building or association, with optional add-on services priced separately — and getting an actual number requires contacting the vendor.

Where the comparison breaks down
The honest answer is that Condo Control and BoostHOA are largely solving different problems. Condo Control’s strongest features — the security desk console, visitor and package logging, incident tracking — exist because it’s designed for buildings with a staffed lobby managing constant foot traffic. A self-managed HOA board running a subdivision of single-family homes has no front desk and no security console to staff.
BoostHOA doesn’t try to compete there. It’s built for a volunteer board managing dues, violations, documents, and owner records directly, without the building-operations layer a concierge-staffed property needs. A board evaluating Condo Control because it’s a well-known Capterra name is likely looking at a product built for a different kind of community than the one it manages.
Where they’d overlap, if a board considered both
For a condo or townhome association that does have shared amenities and wants some of what Condo Control offers without the front-desk-oriented package, there’s real overlap:
- Amenity booking for shared spaces
- Document storage for bylaws, minutes, and notices
- Service and violation request tracking
- Resident communication and announcements
- Online payments, replacing checks and manual reconciliation
Both platforms handle these reasonably well. The difference is what’s built around them — Condo Control for a staffed building’s day-to-day security and front-desk operations, BoostHOA for a self-managed board that wants those core tools.
The honest takeaway
Condo Control’s concierge and security-desk tools are a real advantage for any community with a staffed lobby. If your association has front-desk operations to manage, it’s worth having on your shortlist.
If your board is self-managed and doesn’t staff a front desk, BoostHOA is built for that situation specifically, with a setup a volunteer can complete alone. Get started with BoostHOA and see whether it’s the better fit.
