The short version

  • Choose PropFusion if you are an association that wants someone to arrange and perform the reserve study, with software included to read and use the result.
  • Choose ReservePath if you want software you control: a preparer or firm running its own studies, or a board or manager keeping its own reserve plan current, with prices you can see and a trial you can start today.

Where PropFusion is the better fit

We would rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one from us.

  • You need the study done for you. PropFusion arranges reserve study professionals. ReservePath does not.
  • You want a firm with a long track record. PropFusion's site states that its team has completed thousands of reserve studies. ReservePath is a newer product and does not publish customer or study counts.
  • You value industry badges. PropFusion displays CAI and APRA membership.
  • You are a reserve firm looking for leads. PropFusion describes a lead generator that forwards HOA requests to firms.

Where ReservePath is the better fit

  • You want to see prices before a call. Every self-serve plan's price is public.
  • You want to start today. The trial is self-serve and needs no card.
  • You are a preparer who wants your own tools. Your cost library, your templates, your branding on the report, and no marketplace between you and your clients.
  • You want one system for both sides. The preparer, the manager and the board work in the same record, and board members are free.

Questions to ask either company

  • Who owns the study data, and can I export all of it at any time?
  • What does it cost in year two and after, not only in year one?
  • What exactly is included in the free tier and what needs an upgrade?
  • If I change reserve study firms, does my software access change?
