MyHOAConnect™
An HOA management company alternative your board controls
There are two common paths: hire a management company, or use software and do the work yourself. MyHOAConnect™ is a third option — a board-directed operating system that carries out administration under your board’s direction and approval. Management fees commonly run about $10–$50 per unit per month; annual MyHOAConnect plans start at $185/mo ($1,998/yr prepaid with 10% off). If you mainly want a low-cost database and will still do the manual work, a software utility may be a better fit.

When a management company still makes sense
Some communities need full-service staff on the ground. MyHOAConnect™ is for boards that want to self-manage with professional-grade tools — or to reduce what they outsource. If you are comparing an HOA management company alternative on cost, control, and transparency, start with pricing on the homepage and the self-managed HOA software guide. Also read board software vs management-company tools and what self-managed boards actually take on.
Cost, risk, and process before you switch
Switching away from a management firm is a governance decision, not only a software buy. Review HOA management software cost, why bargain tools can cost more later, and board liability and D&O insurance so directors understand residual risk. Vendor and enforcement work still needs process — see vendor contract red flags, fair housing enforcement, and litigious homeowner process.
Keeping the board sustainable
Self-managed alternatives fail when volunteers burn out or records disappear at turnover. Plan with turnover and burnout guidance, record keeping and owner access, transparency expectations, and seasonal maintenance planning. Treasurers comparing stacks can start with accounting software for volunteer treasurers and DIY vs purpose-built board software.
