How condo software pricing works
Four ways of billing share the market.
A price per door per month, which the syndicate multiplies by its own size: that is Kohabit. A plan per syndicate, with optional modules: that is CondoAide. "Starting at" plans in US dollars, without the scale by number of units: that is Buildium. And the quote, with no price shown, at Condo Manager and UpperBee.
What matters to a volunteer board is not the model but two questions: how much for our door count, and what is included without a surcharge.

The hidden costs people forget
The line items people forget when they compare two offers.
Training and getting started
Some software bills for initial training. Ask for the amount before you sign. With Kohabit, you get started on your own, at no charge.
Bringing your data over
Some vendors bill for bringing your data over. Ask for a quote before signing.
USD to CAD FX
US software bills in USD. A 5% rise in the US dollar raises your bill 5%. Over 5 years, that adds up.
Optional modules
E-voting, advanced accounting, maintenance requests: often sold separately CA$10 to 50/month each. Check what's in the base plan.
Data outside Quebec
Law 25 governs sending personal information outside Quebec: it asks the syndicate for an assessment beforehand. Ask each vendor where the data is hosted. Kohabit hosts it in Beauharnois, Québec.
Termination fees
Some annual contracts charge an exit penalty or recover discounts. Read the contract before signing.
Real annual cost by board size
Kohabit and CondoAide at their published annual rate, two months free on both sides, before tax. For tools whose price is not published, the page does not guess it.
| Board size | Kohabit annual | CondoAide annual | Condo Manager | UpperBee | Buildium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 units | CA$359/yr | CA$390 to CA$790/yr | By quote | By quote | From US$62/month |
| 24 units | CA$718/yr | CA$390 to CA$790/yr | By quote | By quote | From US$62/month |
| 50 units | CA$790/yr (cap) | CA$390 to CA$790/yr | By quote | By quote | From US$62/month |
| 100 units | CA$790/yr (cap) | CA$1,540 to CA$2,290/yr | By quote | By quote | From US$62/month |
The prices above are the ones each tool publishes, on the date shown. Run the numbers for your own door count.
For tools whose price is not published, you have to write to them: that is their model, and this page does not guess on their behalf. For a precise figure, contact each vendor.
How to pick the right pricing for your board
The evening you bring two quotes to the board.
The treasurer walks into the board meeting with two printed offers. There will be no time for a theory of pricing models: three questions come back, always the same ones.
How much for our size, this year and in five years. What is included in that price, and what gets billed on top the day we need it. And how we leave with our data if it does not work out.
A vendor who answers all three in writing, before you sign, has already told you something about what follows.
