TLDR
ClickPay does not publish pricing and requires a sales conversation to get a quote. More importantly, ClickPay is a payment processor, not an HOA management platform. Boards that use it still need to pay for a separate system to handle reserve fund compliance, violation tracking, and financial reporting. The real cost is ClickPay plus whatever else the board needs to actually run the community.

Start Free TrialClickPay’s pricing approach
ClickPay does not publish pricing. No listed tiers, no monthly rates, no self-service signup. Getting a quote requires contacting sales. The sales process is designed for enterprise buyers, not volunteer boards managing a single community.
ClickPay was not built for self-managed HOAs.
What ClickPay actually is
ClickPay is a payment processing platform. It handles ACH transfers, card payments, recurring dues billing, and homeowner payment portals. It integrates with property management software used by large management companies.
Violation tracking, reserve fund accounting, board meeting documentation, document storage, reserve study management, and state-specific compliance reporting are not part of what ClickPay provides. Boards that sign up for ClickPay get the payments layer only.
The two-vendor problem
Running ClickPay as a self-managed HOA means operating two separate systems: ClickPay for payments, and something else for everything the board needs to manage the community.
Payment records live in ClickPay. Violation records live in a separate system. Reserve fund data lives somewhere else. Board meeting minutes, ARC requests, and homeowner communications land in yet another place. When a homeowner calls with a question or the board needs to produce financials for an audit, the information is scattered across systems.
The total cost also runs higher than it appears. ClickPay’s undisclosed fees plus the cost of a separate HOA management platform typically exceed what a single purpose-built platform charges, before accounting for the time spent coordinating two systems.
What reserve fund compliance requires
Self-managed boards in most states carry specific obligations around reserve funds: separate accounts, periodic reserve studies, and disclosure of reserve funding status at unit sale.
ClickPay has no reserve fund features. No fund separation tracking. No reserve study integration. No reserve disclosure report generation. Boards with state reserve requirements cannot satisfy them through ClickPay alone. ClickPay plus a spreadsheet is not a compliance solution.
