For boards of 6–25 homes only

You're running a homeowners' association with less structure than your book club.

Porchlight is the HOA software built for the small associations every other tool ignores. Not 500 units. Not 100. Yours. Collect dues, store documents, and keep your board out of everyone's inbox — set up in one sitting.

We're onboarding a first batch of small HOAs. No credit card, no sales call.

The problem

Every HOA tool on the market was built for a 300-unit condo tower — and you're paying for it anyway.

Your board has eight houses, one shared bank account, and a treasurer who volunteered because nobody else would. You don't need a "community operating system." You need dues collected and questions answered — without a $15,000-a-year property manager.

Property manager

~$15,000/yr

The average a small association pays to outsource what one organized volunteer could do in 30 minutes a month.

Enterprise HOA software

100+ features

Built for portfolios of hundreds of units. You'll use a tenth of it and pay full price for the rest.

Spreadsheet & group text

Free, until it isn't

Works until a payment goes missing, a document disappears, or the treasurer moves away with the only copy.

What you actually get

Four things. Nothing you'll never touch.

No accounting suite you didn't ask for. No "enterprise tier" you'll never grow into. Just the parts a small board actually uses, every month.

  1. 01

    Dues collected automatically

    Homeowners pay online, on autopay if they want. No more chasing checks or updating a ledger by hand.

  2. 02

    One place your whole board can see

    Balances, expenses, and who paid what — visible to every board member, not just whoever built the spreadsheet.

  3. 03

    A login for every homeowner

    Balance, documents, meeting notes, announcements. They stop texting the treasurer to ask what they owe.

  4. 04

    Set up on your phone, same day

    Built mobile-first from day one — not bolted on later. Add your homes, invite your board, done.

The comparison

Built for you, not a 500-unit tower.

Software built for 500 units

  • Priced by unit count, scales up fast
  • Modules you'll never open
  • No native mobile app
  • Onboarding built for a property manager, not a volunteer

Porchlight

  • One flat price, built for under 25 homes
  • Four things, done well
  • Mobile from day one
  • Set up yourself in an afternoon
Get in early

Your neighborhood doesn't need enterprise software. It needs this.

We're building Porchlight with a small first group of boards — not a mass launch. Leave your email and the size of your community, and we'll reach out when your spot opens up.

No cost to join the waitlist. No credit card. No obligation. If Porchlight isn't simpler than what your board uses today, you never have to switch.
