Question 1

Is ForgeHOA really free for small communities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Communities under 30 units use the full platform at no cost — no credit card, no trial expiration. Paid tiers start at communities with 30+ units and unlock advanced reporting, the public API, and AI tools.

Question 2

How does ForgeHOA compare to Vantaca, AppFolio, PayHOA, and Condo Control?

Accepted Answer

ForgeHOA is the only platform in its class with 28 AI tools built in — from live board-meeting copilot to CC&R drift detection to predictive delinquency forecasting. Side-by-side with the top competitors we match or exceed every core feature at a lower price point, and we're the only one with a free tier.

Question 3

Can property management companies (PMCs) use ForgeHOA for multiple communities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ForgeHOA includes a dedicated PMC portal with portfolio dashboard, unified inbox across every managed community, bulk broadcast, shared vendor directory, master billing with volume pricing down to $19 per community at 201+, white-label branding, SSO via Google/Microsoft/Okta, and a guided client-acquisition wizard that takes a new HOA from signed contract to live in under 10 minutes.

Question 4

Does ForgeHOA work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ForgeHOA has native iOS and Android apps in the App Store and Play Store, plus an installable PWA for desktop. The mobile apps include camera capture for violation evidence, push notifications, and biometric unlock.

Question 5

Is my community's data isolated from other communities on the platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every table enforces Row-Level Security at the PostgreSQL layer, below the application. Every community can download a signed data-isolation attestation for their board packet that enumerates every RLS policy scoped to their community and the row counts visible to them. It is architecturally impossible for another community to read or write your community's data.

Question 6

Does ForgeHOA integrate with QuickBooks?

Accepted Answer

Yes — built in, not an add-on. QuickBooks Online sync handles customers, invoices, payments, and chart-of-accounts mapping. No paid integration partner required.

Question 7

What AI tools does ForgeHOA include?

Accepted Answer

ForgeHOA includes 28 AI tools: live board-meeting copilot with motion detection and automated minutes, morning briefings personalized per board member, institutional memory search over past decisions, response drafter for messages and violations, AI document analysis, budget generation, expense anomaly detection, community health score, proactive advisor with 7 pattern types, vendor performance scoring, predictive delinquency forecasting, smart invoice approval routing, document-grounded RAG over CC&Rs, violation photo triage, fair-housing language scanner, CC&R drift detector, state-statute citations, and more.
