Innago shows up in Capterra’s HOA software results. It’s a free rent-collection and property management tool built for independent landlords and small rental operators, one that lists community associations as one of several use cases alongside residential rentals, commercial space, self storage, and military housing. Here’s how it actually compares to BoostHOA for a board running a homeowners association.
Who Innago is built for
Innago’s core audience is small to mid-size landlords managing a handful of rental units. Its feature set: online lease signing, automated rent reminders, tenant screening with credit and background checks, maintenance request tracking, and mobile-friendly payments, reads as landlord-tenant software first. HOAs are on Innago’s list of served markets, but the product itself is organized around the landlord-tenant relationship rather than board governance, ownership records, or resident-to-resident rules enforcement.
Pricing: how each one charges
Innago’s headline feature is its price: no monthly or annual license fee, for any number of units. The core toolset, rent collection, tenant screening, lease management, and basic accounting, is free to the landlord. Innago instead makes money on optional extras, like paid tenant screening reports and premium support, and on payment processing costs that can be passed along in the transaction rather than billed as a subscription.

Where the two overlap
Both platforms cover some of the same ground for collecting payments and managing requests:
- Online payment collection from residents or tenants
- Maintenance and owner requests submitted and tracked online
- Document storage tied to a property or unit
- A mobile-friendly experience for day-to-day use
Where they differ
Innago’s strength is being free and easy to use for a landlord managing a few rental units. Its tools are organized around rent, leases, and tenants.
BoostHOA starts from the other direction: it’s built only for HOA and condo association management, and the features on the page (dues, documents, owner requests, amenity reservations) map directly to what a board does.
The honest takeaway
If you’re a small landlord who also happens to self-manage a tiny HOA and want one free tool for both, Innago’s price makes it a reasonable option to evaluate. If you’re a board looking for software organized around association governance, assessments, and owner communication rather than rent and leases, get started with BoostHOA and see how the fit compares for your community.
