Kohabit vs Hoodi: which one for your syndicate?
Hoodi first sells the contingency fund study and the maintenance log, done by its own professionals, with software to follow the log. Kohabit is the board's day-to-day software: announcements, votes without an account, the general meeting, assessments and the log. They don't do the same job, and plenty of boards will need both.
60-day trial, no card. Hosted in Beauharnois, Québec. No commitment.
Hoodi, from Technologies Hoodi inc., is aimed at small condos of 20 units or fewer. Its first trade is a service: the contingency fund study and the initial maintenance log, with an on-site inspection, and reports signed by members of the professional orders of technologists, engineers or chartered appraisers. The price of that service is published on its site, which is still rare. Its software then follows the log, the contingency fund and the certificate.
Kohabit starts somewhere else: the evening you need neighbours to vote who will never create an account. Your co-owners get announcements and vote from their email, and the board runs the live general meeting, the budget, the assessments and the Bill 16 maintenance log in it. Kohabit doesn't do the contingency fund study: the law gives that job to a professional who is independent of the syndicate.
So this comparison doesn't conclude that one replaces the other. It says when Hoodi is the right choice, when Kohabit is, and when a board uses both.

Your neighbours take part, no account needed
Read the transcript
Marie-Hélène chairs her building's board. She'd like to move to a real tool, but she suspects not every neighbour will want to create an account.
With Kohabit, they don't need one. Everyone takes part from the email address they already use, with no account and no app.
Émilie gets every announcement in full in her inbox, with the documents attached.
Mr Roy never wanted one more password. To vote, he clicks his answer right in the email, and his vote is recorded.
Carlos will be travelling on the night of the general meeting. From his notice of meeting, he gives his proxy to his neighbour, and she's notified.
Isabelle gets a reminder for an assessment she has just paid. She reports that she's paid, right from the email, and the board only has to confirm it.
Meanwhile, Marie-Hélène sees the votes, proxies and replies come in, as if everyone had an account.
And those who want one activate their account from any email, to find their documents and finances.

What sets them apart
A service, or software
Hoodi sends a professional to inspect the building and produces the contingency fund study and the initial log, from $2,499 to $3,399 for 2 to 20 units, with a lead time of about 12 months from order to delivery, according to its site. Kohabit doesn't do the study: it is software, which takes over once the log exists.
The log, or the whole life of the board
Hoodi's software centres on the log: planning, component inventory, work history, reminders, fund tracking and the certificate. Its site announces no meeting, no voting and no assessments. Kohabit covers what the board does the rest of the year: announcements, votes without an account, the live general meeting, budget and payments, on top of the log.
Where the data lives
Kohabit keeps your data in Beauharnois, Quebec, with OVH Hosting Inc. The FAQ for Hoodi's software writes that its data is hosted with Amazon Web Services, on servers located in the United States.
Two ways of counting
Hoodi's software is billed yearly by unit bracket: $150 for 2 to 4 units, $250 for 5 to 10, $350 for 11 to 20, $500 for 21 to 50. It is free for a year with the study service. Kohabit costs $29.90 per door per year, capped at $790, everything included. For the log alone, Hoodi costs less at most sizes: the table below shows it.
Trying it, and leaving
Hoodi offers a 30-day trial with no card, its subscription doesn't renew on its own, and it hands back your data as CSV at the end. Kohabit offers a 60-day trial with no card, and its CSV, PDF and JSON exports sit in the settings, any time.
What it costs for your size
Hoodi prices checked on October 26, 2026 at hoodi.ai/tarification, vertical condo, taxes extra on both sides. Kohabit at the yearly rate.
| Size | Kohabit, per year (all included) | Hoodi software, per year | Hoodi study and log, one time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 doors | $119.60 | $150 | $2,499 |
| 10 doors | $299 | $250 | $2,899 |
| 20 doors | $598 | $350 | $3,399 |
| 30 doors | $790 (cap) | $500 | Service listed for 20 units or fewer |
| 50 doors | $790 (cap) | $500 | Service listed for 20 units or fewer |
The two software columns don't count the same thing. Kohabit's price includes the live general meeting, votes by email, announcements, the budget, assessments and bank reconciliation; Hoodi's covers the log, fund tracking and the certificate. If the log is all you need, Hoodi costs less from 9 doors up, except at 11 doors.
The last column has no counterpart at Kohabit: the study and the initial log are ordered from a professional, at Hoodi or elsewhere. See our detailed pricing and the comparison of eight tools.

See the demoChoose Kohabit if:
- Your study and initial log are done, and now they need to be kept alive
- Your co-owners need to read announcements and vote without creating an account
- You want the meeting, the assessments and the log in one place
- You want your data hosted in Quebec
- Your building has more than 20 units
Hoodi will be a better fit if:
- You still need the contingency fund study and the initial log, and you have 20 units or fewer: Hoodi publishes the price of that service, inspection included
- The log is your only software need: at most sizes, theirs costs less
- You'd rather have the same provider do the study, then give you the tool to follow it
