TownSq Pricing Breakdown (2026): What You Actually Pay

Last updated: March 20, 2026

TLDR

TownSq does not list prices publicly. It is primarily a communication and resident engagement platform — financial management and reserve fund compliance are not its core strengths, which matters for boards with legal reserve obligations.

Hidden Costs You Won't See on the Pricing Page

  • Pricing is not publicly listed — actual cost requires a sales conversation and varies by community size and contract length
  • Payment processing fees apply on top of subscription for online dues collection
  • Reserve fund compliance tools are not included in any published tier description
  • Implementation and onboarding support may carry additional fees depending on contract terms
  • Annual contracts are typical — month-to-month pricing, if available, carries a premium

TownSq does not publish pricing

TownSq’s pricing page directs visitors to contact sales for a quote. No tier prices appear on the website. Based on publicly available community discussions and industry reports, TownSq’s full suite typically costs in the range of $1–3 per unit per month, but the actual number depends on community size, contract length, and module selection.

For a 100-unit community, that range implies $100–$300/month. For a 200-unit community, $200–$600/month. These are estimates — the only way to get an accurate number is to go through a sales process.

What TownSq is designed to do

TownSq’s product emphasis is resident communication and community engagement: mobile app, announcements, document sharing, event calendars, and resident portals. It is a well-regarded platform for keeping residents informed and managing day-to-day community communications.

Financial tools and accounting appear in TownSq’s upper tier. Work orders, violations, and payments are mid-tier features. The platform’s design center is communication, not compliance.

The reserve fund compliance gap

TownSq’s published feature descriptions do not mention reserve fund tracking, reserve study target management, fund separation enforcement, or state-specific compliance dashboards. For boards in states with reserve fund laws — California, Florida, Washington, Illinois, and others — these tools are not optional features. They are the mechanism by which a board documents compliance and limits personal liability exposure for directors.

A platform that handles community announcements well but cannot produce a reserve fund status report leaves the compliance burden on the treasurer to manage outside the software.

Pricing opacity as a procurement risk

When a vendor does not publish pricing, every renewal conversation starts from an information asymmetry. The vendor knows market rates and your switching costs. You do not know where you stand relative to other customers or what the contract allows in terms of price increases.

For volunteer boards making annual budget decisions, unpublished pricing makes it harder to plan. A known annual cost — whether $49/mo or $99/mo — can be included in the operating budget without a negotiation.

TownSq versus BoardStack

We built BoardStack for the board treasurer who needs to answer the question “are our reserve funds properly separated and on track?” — not for the community manager who needs to send announcements. If your primary concern is compliance documentation and fiduciary protection, TownSq’s communication-first feature set is a mismatch.

How much does TownSq cost?

TownSq does not publish pricing on its website. Based on community reports, the full suite typically costs $1–3/unit/month, meaning a 100-unit community pays roughly $100–$300/month. Contact TownSq sales for an accurate quote.

Does TownSq handle HOA reserve fund compliance?

TownSq's published feature descriptions do not include reserve fund tracking, reserve study target management, or fund separation enforcement. For boards with statutory reserve obligations, this gap requires manual processes outside the platform.

Is TownSq designed for self-managed HOA boards?

TownSq's feature emphasis on resident communication and community engagement reflects a design orientation toward professionally managed communities. Self-managed volunteer boards often find they need more financial compliance depth than TownSq provides.

How much does TownSq cost?
TownSq does not publish pricing on its website. Industry sources and community reports suggest pricing typically falls in the $1–3/unit/month range for the full suite, but the actual figure depends on community size, contract length, and which modules are included. You will need to contact TownSq's sales team for a quote.
Does TownSq handle HOA accounting and reserve fund tracking?
TownSq's Complete tier includes accounting and financial reporting. Reserve fund compliance tools — fund separation enforcement, reserve study target tracking, and state-specific compliance dashboards — are not described in TownSq's published feature set. For boards with statutory reserve obligations, this is a gap worth clarifying with their sales team before signing a contract.
Is TownSq designed for self-managed HOAs or professional management companies?
TownSq serves both, but its feature emphasis on resident communication, engagement, and community portals reflects a design orientation toward professionally managed communities and property management companies. Self-managed volunteer boards often find they are paying for engagement features they do not need while lacking the compliance-focused financial tools they do.
