Q: How much does an HOA save by switching from Vantaca to HOA By Owners?

An HOA of 51-100 units typically saves around $5,260 in the first year. Vantaca's first-year cost is approximately $11,260 ($6,180 base + $3,100 setup/training/migration + $1,980 in payment-processing and support add-ons). HOA By Owners is $6,000/year flat with no add-ons.

Q: Is HOA By Owners as feature-complete as Vantaca for HOAs?

For HOA workflows, yes. HOA By Owners includes dues invoicing, autopay, lockbox, late fees, vendor bills, bank reconciliation, budget reporting, financial statements, electronic voting, amenity reservations, violations with photo evidence, package tracking, document storage, board roles, and homeowner portals. Niche enterprise CAM workflows unique to Vantaca are uncommon for self-managed HOAs.

Q: Why do HOAs switch from Vantaca to HOA By Owners?

Boards switch from Vantaca to HOA By Owners for three main reasons: (1) Vantaca is sized for management companies with multiple HOAs and enterprise budgets — HOA By Owners is built for self-managed boards and small managers; (2) HOA By Owners eliminates Vantaca's setup, training, and migration fees with free guided onboarding; (3) HOA By Owners' month-to-month subscription removes Vantaca's annual commitment.

Most HOAs migrate from Vantaca to HOA By Owners in 24-48 hours through free guided onboarding. The HOA By Owners team imports homeowners, balances, recurring invoices, vendors, and documents at no charge.

Q: Does HOA By Owners include electronic voting and amenity reservations like Vantaca?

Yes — both included at no extra cost. HOA By Owners' electronic voting is legally acceptable with secret ballots, audit trails, quorum tracking, and proxy collection where allowed. Amenity reservations are an advanced multi-resource booking system with rules, blackout dates, and waitlists.
