Scroll through the HOA category on Capterra long enough and HOA Central will come up — it’s the newer, HOA-focused sister product from the team behind Condo Control, which has been building community-association software for over 16 years. That lineage shows up in how the product is built: it’s aimed as much at property managers overseeing several associations as it is at a single self-managed board.
Who HOA Central is built for
HOA Central brings governance, financials, communication, and amenity management into one platform, with tools for architectural review (ARC/ACC) requests, violation tracking with photo evidence, work orders and vendor management, secure online voting, a resident portal and mobile app, parking permits, visitor management, and document storage tied to payment processing and access control. It also integrates with QuickBooks for accounting.
A standout feature is the portfolio view, which lets managers move between associations without separate logins and see activity across all of them. That’s a useful capability if your job is managing many HOAs at once, and it’s a different starting point than a platform built for one board running one community.
Pricing: how each one charges
HOA Central doesn’t publish pricing on its site; it uses a “request a quote” model.

Where the two overlap
For the fundamentals of running an HOA, the two platforms cover similar ground:
- Owner and property records
- Online dues collection and payment processing
- Violation tracking and ARC/architectural review requests
- Document storage and resident communication
- A self-service resident portal
Boards weighing what to look for in HOA software will find both handle these basics well.
Where they differ
HOA Central’s real strength is scale: amenity reservations, visitor and parking management, secure voting, and above all the multi-community portfolio dashboard make it a strong fit for a property manager or management company juggling several associations.
BoostHOA is built for the other end of that spectrum: a single self-managed board that wants to be collecting dues and tracking violations the same day. It doesn’t try to be a portfolio tool for management companies.
The honest takeaway
If you’re a management company or a manager running multiple HOAs, HOA Central’s portfolio features and Condo Control pedigree are worth a serious look. If you’re a single self-managed board that wants to get started today without a sales call, get started with BoostHOA and see how it fits your community.
