SpotHOA vs.
Neigbrs Lite
Neigbrs Lite (by Vinteum) gives small self-managed HOAs a free-forever tier, but a deliberately capped one: one resident notice a month, 15 documents. SpotHOA’s free tier is the actual product, with the full ledger, dues collection, meetings, and votes up to 50 units, and it is built for self-managed boards rather than Florida condos and property managers.
Quick verdict
Free that works, vs free that nudges.
Pick SpotHOA if you want a free tier you can actually run your HOA on, self-serve setup with no demo call, flat pricing, and Texas compliance.
Pick Neigbrs if you are a Florida condo or property manager who wants native mobile apps, amenity booking, Zoom meetings, and QuickBooks sync, and you are fine with a sales-led demo and per-unit pricing.
Concrete numbers, 50-unit HOA
SpotHOA Free does what Neigbrs charges for.
Neigbrs Lite is free but capped to one notice a month and 15 documents, so to really run your HOA you upgrade to a paid tier. Standard is about $0.99 per unit per month, which lands near $50 a month on a 50-unit HOA, plus a white-glove onboarding fee. SpotHOA Free covers the full ledger, dues, and meetings at that size for $0.

When SpotHOA is the right call
The places where being built for self-managed boards is the whole point.
A free tier you can actually run on
SpotHOA Free is the real product up to 50 units: full ledger, dues collection, meetings, minutes, and votes. Neigbrs Lite deliberately caps you at 1 notice a month and 15 documents, so a small HOA hits the wall fast and is nudged to upgrade.
No sales call to get started
Sign up and set up your HOA in about a minute. Neigbrs routes its paid plans through a sales-led demo before you can really use them.
Flat price, no per-unit, no onboarding fee
Pro is $29 a month flat up to 100 units, with no setup fee. Neigbrs charges $0.79 to $1.99 per unit per month plus a white-glove onboarding fee.
Built for self-managed, not property managers
Every screen assumes a volunteer board with an hour on Saturday. Neigbrs leans toward Florida condos, CAMs, and multi-association portfolios.
Texas, in depth
A 51-jurisdiction HOA-law reference plus a Texas compliance pack and state guide. Neigbrs is Florida-oriented with no equivalent.
AI drafts the paperwork
A violation letter from a photo, meeting minutes from rough notes, dues reminders on a schedule. Neigbrs has none of this.
Be honest with the board
When Neigbrs is the right call
We are not the right tool for every community. If any of the following describes you, Neigbrs will likely serve you better, and we will say so.
- You are a Florida condo association or want community-association-manager and multi-association portfolio features.
- You need native iOS and Android apps, amenity reservations, and Zoom-integrated meetings out of the box, where SpotHOA ships a PWA and no amenities module.
- You rely on QuickBooks and want a two-way accounting sync.
- You want a 12-year-established vendor with a deep third-party review presence (Capterra, GetApp, Software Advice, SourceForge).
