SEO Meta Description: Discover how Alice’s AI-driven platform revolutionises homeowners association management with seamless automation and enhanced operational efficiency.

Managing a homeowners association (HOA) is no small feat. Endless meetings, stacks of paperwork, maintenance emergencies at odd hours—sound familiar? You need a Property Management Software that cuts through the chaos. In this post, we’ll compare two leading solutions—Frontsteps and Alice—and show you why Alice’s intelligent AI is the future of community management.

Why Compare Frontsteps and Alice?

Frontsteps has built a strong reputation in the HOA world. Their unified platform offers community operations, financial workflows, and visitor security modules. But every tool has its gaps.

Alice, Brickwise AI’s flagship solution, uses advanced machine learning and natural language processing to deliver 24/7 support, integrate with over 500 tools, and slash admin time by 87%. Intrigued? Let’s dive in.

Frontsteps: Strengths and Shortcomings

What Frontsteps Excels At

User-friendly mobile experience for homeowners and managers
Connected security with visitor management in one app
AI-driven insights on community finances and budgets
Payment automations that handle both accounts payable and receivable

“The ease of use of FRONTSTEPS is critical to our managers being efficient in their daily tasks.”
– Colby G., President, 4Sight Management

Where Frontsteps Falls Short

Onboarding can feel overwhelming for smaller boards
Limited integration beyond their own suite
Occasional delays in maintenance coordination
No true 24/7 tenant or homeowner chat support

These limitations can stall growth, frustrate residents, and leave managers stuck in repetitive tasks. You deserve more than just “good enough.”
