Your Firm’s First Set of Books, on Us.
On any paid plan, your firm’s first legal entity runs its own books at no charge through December 31, 2027 — the $250/month waived — with complimentary migration services. We move your books over for you.
The end date is fixed, not rolling: everyone’s waiver ends the same day, whenever they start. Every month you wait is a month of free books you don’t get back.

One Price
A dollar a unit. That is the whole rate card.
Forty units or forty thousand, the rate is $1.00 per unit per month. No volume brackets, no tiers to negotiate, no rate that quietly changes at renewal. Multiply your unit count by one and you have your number.
That dollar buys the whole suite — portals, docket, board meetings, budgeting, compliance, collections. There is no module to unlock later and nothing metered behind it, so the number you work out today is the number you keep working out. Two things, and only two, ever add to it: a second legal entity if your firm keeps its own books, and dedicated infrastructure if you want your own environment and ResLife shaped around how you work. Plans differ by those services, never by the rate:
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Every paid plan, per unit | $1.00 / mo |
| Your firm’s own books, per legal entity (Business) | |
| Dedicated infrastructure, sandbox, SLA and customization (Enterprise) | $2,500 / mo |
| Support, any plan | $125 / hr |
A firm running its management LLC and its maintenance LLC in ResLife pays the per-entity charge for each — though through 2027 the first entity is on us, so it pays only the second. Hard costs such as domain registration are passed through at cost.
Stop Renting ResLife.
Own Your Region.
Every plan above is a subscription you pay. The Regional Exclusive License is the opposite. You buy your territory outright, your own per-door cost ends, and every other ResLife customer inside that region becomes yours.
It is available to Enterprise customers who want to turn the platform they already run on into a business of its own. Territory is exclusive and sold once.
What the license changes
- Your per-door subscription cost ends
- Exclusive rights to your defined region
- Regional ResLife users pay you, monthly
- Competing firms become your client base
- Full platform, on isolated infrastructure
What It Costs to Collect
Every Fee, On One Page.
Stripe charges to move money, on every plan, exactly as it would if you used Stripe directly. On the free tier ResLife adds a small margin on top. On any paid plan that margin is zero.
| Per collected payment | Cardcredit & debit | Bank debitACH direct debit |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe processingcharged by Stripe on every plan | 2.9% + $0.30 | 0.8%capped at $5.00 |
| ResLife add-on, free tier | + 0.25% + $0.50 | + 0.25% + $0.50 |
| ResLife add-on, any paid plan | none | none |
| Free tier, all-in | 3.15% + $0.80 | 1.05% + $0.50Stripe portion capped at $5.00 |
| Starter, Business & Enterprise, all-in | 2.9% + $0.30 | 0.8%capped at $5.00 |
Stripe rates shown are Stripe’s published US rates for online card payments and ACH direct debit. They are billed by Stripe under your own Stripe agreement, not by ResLife, and are subject to change by Stripe.
Paid plans: notices on paper
Postal notices, charged per letter.
Most owners never opt into email, and California makes paper the default. On any paid plan ResLife prints and mails official notices for you, First-Class or Certified with a USPS tracking number where the law requires it, and adds each letter to your monthly invoice. Print, envelope and postage included.
| Per letter | Price |
|---|---|
| First-Classmeeting notices, rule changes, hearing notices, statements | $2.00plus $0.25 per page after the first |
| Certified MailUSPS tracking and delivery confirmation | $10.00 |
| Certified Mail with electronic return receiptthe recipient's signature, returned to the record | $13.00 |
Where the law lets an association recover the cost of collecting from a delinquent owner, as California does for the certified pre-lien notice, ResLife bills that letter to the owner's account at cost. Every other notice is the association's own expense. On the free tier the letters are still prepared for you, as one file to print and mail yourself.
Worked Example
A $400 monthly assessment, collected online.
Paid by card
Free tier$13.40
Any paid plan$11.90
ResLife add-on: $1.50
Paid by bank debit
Free tier$4.70
Any paid plan$3.20
ResLife add-on: $1.50
Bank debit is the cheaper rail at every plan level, and the gap widens as assessments get larger, because the Stripe bank-debit fee stops at $5.00 no matter the amount. Steering owners toward bank debit is the single biggest lever on what collection costs your association.
Questions
Asked Before Starting.
Does the $1 per unit rate drop for larger portfolios?
No. It is flat: the same $1 at 40 doors or 40,000, with no volume brackets and nothing to negotiate. Nobody is punished for being small, and nobody has to ask for a better rate.
What is the launch offer, exactly?
On any paid plan, your firm’s first legal entity runs its own books free through December 31, 2027 — the $250/month is waived — and migration of those books is complimentary: we move them for you. The end date is fixed rather than rolling, so an earlier start simply means more months waived. Additional legal entities pay the standard $250/month, and the $1 per unit rate is never waived at any size.
What is the catch on the free tier?
The only cost is the processing add-on when an association collects assessments online: $0.50 + 0.25% per collected payment, on top of Stripe's published rates. Everything else in the operational tools costs nothing, with no trial and no credit card. Any paid plan waives the add-on.
Where does the line between free and paid actually run?
Through each tool, not between them. The operational side is free: build the budget, run the meeting, record the violation, dispatch the work order. The financial tail is paid: billing the assessments, invoicing the fine, receiving the supplier invoice. Free is the work; paid is the books.
Do we have to move our books to start?
No. Nothing has to move. Run the operational half here alongside whatever you already use, and take the budget back out as a PDF or an Excel file. Moving the books is a separate decision, cleanest at a fiscal-year boundary, and it is yours to time.
When does a paid plan make sense?
When you want an association's books here: full accounting, collections with the add-on waived, and the rest of the financial features. Most associations time that for the start of a fiscal year, because that is when changing books is cleanest for the financial statements.
