We build for boards. You're welcome here too.
SpruceHOA is honest about who it's for: self-managed associations running themselves. But the small communities that enterprise platforms price out are often the same ones sitting in your portfolio — and for those, flat pricing by size beats a per-door charge every time.
- No per-door fees
- No cut of anyone's dues
- Each association stays separate
This isn't enterprise portfolio software. That's the point.
Most platforms sold to management companies are built for scale — hundreds of doors, a back office, an implementation project, and a price per unit that makes sense only above a certain size. Below that line, the economics stop working, and the twelve-home association nobody wants to onboard gets served out of a spreadsheet anyway.
SpruceHOA was built for the boards running those small communities themselves. If you manage a portfolio with a long tail of them, the same design works in your favour: a flat price per association by size, every module included, and nothing charged per door or skimmed off dues.
One login. Every association its own world.
- Switch between associations — one login can hold several, with a chooser to move between them. No juggling separate accounts.
- Hard separation between them — records, documents, owners, and money are isolated at the database level, not just hidden in the interface. One community's data can't leak into another's.
- Each association banks for itself — dues settle straight into that community's own account through Stripe. You never become the custodian of their money, and neither do we.
- The board keeps its own seat — directors and owners get their own access, so a handover doesn't mean exporting anything. If an association ever leaves you, its records were always its own.
- Set up in an afternoon, per community — import a roster, switch on the modules that association needs, invite the owners. No implementation project to schedule.
What we don't do yet
There's no cross-association roll-up — no single dashboard showing delinquency or cash across your whole book. You switch in to each community to work in it.
We'd rather say that plainly than let you discover it in week two. It's also the thing most likely to get built for whoever asks first, so if it's the blocker, that's worth a conversation.
Priced per association, by size.
Each community pays a flat rate for its own size — every module included, no per-door tax, no percentage of dues. A portfolio of small associations costs the sum of several small flat rates, not a per-unit charge across every door you touch.
The long tail gets cheap
The smallest associations start at $12 a month. The ones that don't pencil out on a per-door platform cost you very little here.
Nothing taken off the top
We never hold funds or take a percentage of dues. The only card and bank charges are the standard processor rates.
Try one before the rest
Start with a single association at no cost and see whether it fits before you move anything else across.

Management company FAQ
Can a management company use SpruceHOA?
Yes. It's designed for self-managed boards, but nothing stops you using it on behalf of the associations you serve. One login can hold several associations and switch between them, and each stays a separate workspace with its own records, documents, and bank account.
How is it priced for multiple associations?
Each association is priced on its own, as a flat rate by the number of homes it contains — no per-door fees and no percentage of dues. A portfolio of small associations costs the sum of several small flat rates rather than a per-unit charge across every door you touch.
Is there a portfolio dashboard across everything I manage?
Not today. You can switch between associations from one login, but there's no cross-association roll-up reporting yet. If that's what you need, tell us — it's the feature most likely to be shaped by whoever asks for it first.
Do you hold association funds?
No. Payments settle straight into each association's own bank account through Stripe. We never hold funds and never take a percentage of dues.
What happens if an association leaves us?
Its records were always its own. Board members and owners have their own access throughout, so a handover doesn't depend on you exporting anything or handing over a login.
