All plans include secure online payment processing. Transaction fees apply to online payments only—paper checks are always free to process manually.

Wait — the paid plan actually saves you money?

It sounds backwards, but it's true. The lower fees on Board Automation save your HOA more than the $29/month subscription costs. Here's the math — plain and simple.
