What does Condo Manager actually cost?

Condo Manager works on custom quotes based on active modules. As a reference point from public feedback, expect $100 to $300 per month for a small building, annual contract. Kohabit publicly shows from $2.99 per unit per month.

Can we easily migrate from Condo Manager to Kohabit?

Yes. Kohabit supports migrations by importing your Condo Manager data (CSV export of residents, balances, documents) into your new Kohabit space. Typically 1 to 2 weeks.

Is Condo Manager Act 25 compliant?

Condo Manager advertises Quebec hosting, which is a good point. However, Act 25 compliance for a board isn't only about the software: it also requires a policy, a PIA, an incident registry and admin training. Kohabit provides these by default; Condo Manager leaves it to the board.

Does Kohabit have the same accounting depth as Condo Manager?

Kohabit covers the accounting needs of most boards: budget, share-based fees, fund calls, payments, ledger, statements. For ultra-specialized needs (external accounting software integration, barcodes, smart lockers), Condo Manager remains more complete. Ask us for a demo if you have a specific case.

Condo Manager (distributed by Otonom in Quebec) is a historical player in the condo management software market. Established for over 15 years, it built its reputation on accounting depth and integrations with tools like LeapAP or SparcPay.

Kohabit was built in 2025 to address a different reality: most condo boards in Quebec are run by volunteers, not by full-time professionals. Public Capterra and G2 reviews of Condo Manager frequently mention a dated UI and a steep learning curve. Kohabit took the opposite path: a modern, mobile-first UI that an elected co-owner can master in 30 minutes.

This is not a "Kohabit wins everything" comparison. Condo Manager remains relevant for specific profiles, particularly professional managers with large portfolios. Our goal is to help you pick the tool best aligned with your reality.

The 5 differences that actually matter

Rather than comparing 200 checkboxes, here are the structural gaps between Kohabit and Condo Manager.

Volunteers vs full-time pros

Condo Manager was designed for professional managers spending their whole day in the tool. Kohabit is built for elected co-owners managing their board after their actual job.

Mobile-first vs desktop-only

Condo Manager is primarily desktop. Kohabit works on phone, tablet or laptop, identical render everywhere with no app to install.

Act 25 compliant by design

Kohabit is hosted in Canada, provides the PIA file and the incident registry ready-to-use. Condo Manager requires each board to build their own compliance file.

Public pricing vs quote-based

Kohabit publishes pricing (from $2.99/unit/month). Condo Manager works on custom quotes with a complex grid depending on active modules.

French support, fast

Kohabit offers French support based in Montreal, fast turnaround. Several public reviews mention slow response times and weekend support gaps at Condo Manager.

Built-in Act 16

The Act 16 maintenance log is a native Kohabit module, compliant by default. With Condo Manager, it often requires an add-on module or a third-party tool.
