What HOA Alchemy is
HOA Alchemy is a community association management platform for HOA boards, residents, vendors, and property or management companies. It combines financial management, resident portals, communications, work orders, vendor scheduling, and field operations. Financial tools include account balances, expense management, budget forecasting, reconciliation, QuickBooks integration, invoicing, and custom reports. Residents can receive messages and files through SMS, push notifications, email, or USPS mail. Dedicated iOS and Android apps support resident and vendor payments, requests, door unlocking, and messaging. Vendor crews appear on a live GPS map, with visit history and verified time-on-site reports. Integrations include payments, unified messaging, cameras, access control, smart irrigation, and a REST API with webhooks and OAuth 2.0. Silver costs $2 a month, Gold $2.50 a month, and Platinum $3 a month. A 30-day full-feature trial requires no credit card. The maker says it was founded in 2015 in Pleasanton, California.
