BoostHOA vs. Smartwebs: Two Purpose-Built HOA Platforms, Different Pricing Models

BoostHOA vs. Smartwebs: Two Purpose-Built HOA Platforms, Different Pricing Models

Smartwebs is community association management software built specifically for HOAs and condos, with a particular focus on compliance workflows — violations, architectural review, and work orders — delivered through a mobile-first design.

Who Smartwebs is built for

Smartwebs covers the core of HOA operations: dues and accounting, violation tracking, architectural review (ARC), work orders, resident communication, and a homeowner portal where residents can view account history and submit requests. Its standout feature is mobile access — Smartwebs offers Apple and Android apps that let managers process violations and work orders and review architectural submissions from a phone, including offline, which the company markets as unique among community association platforms.

That mobile-first approach makes it a good fit for management companies and boards who want to handle inspections and compliance work in the field rather than at a desk. Homeowners get a portal to track violations, submit ARC requests with photos, and view work order status alongside their account.

Pricing: how each one charges

Smartwebs prices by quote based on community size, so ask Smartwebs for current rates.

Where the two overlap

Both platforms are purpose-built for HOAs rather than adapted from a broader property management product, and both cover the same core ground:

Boards weighing what to look for in HOA software will find either platform handles these fundamentals well, and both lean on ease of use as a selling point.

Where they differ

Smartwebs’ edge is its mobile and offline app — for a board or management company doing a lot of in-person inspections and compliance work, being able to log a violation or review an ARC submission from a phone in the field is a real convenience BoostHOA doesn’t specifically market. Smartwebs also has a longer track record with larger management-company customers.

BoostHOA’s difference is mainly in scope: a platform built around a self-managed board’s day-to-day workflows, such as requests, ARC, violations, and payments.

The honest takeaway

If mobile, in-field compliance work is central to how your board or management company operates, Smartwebs’ app-first approach is worth a look. If you’re a self-managed HOA that wants software built around request, ARC, and payment workflows, get started with BoostHOA and see how it fits your community.
