Starter Pack
Software Built for Small Management Companies
The full platform: accounting, resident engagement, payments, and AI — sized for portfolios of one to ten communities.
The FRONTSTEPS Starter Pack is a bundled community management platform for management companies with one to ten communities. It includes back-office and accounting tools, a branded resident portal, online payments, and ALLi, an AI assistant built specifically for HOA and community management. It’s the same platform trusted by large management companies, packaged for teams that are just getting started or growing on purpose.
The Problem
Small portfolio. Full workload.
The Usual Choice
Pay for an enterprise platform built for someone else…
- Spreadsheets for accounting
- Email for resident requests
- A separate payment processor
- Hope nothing slips through
The Starter Pack
One platform that handles the actual work of community management — sized for where you are now.
- Accounting and back office, built in
- Branded resident portal
- Payments that reconcile themselves
- ALLi, an AI assistant for your workday
WHY IT WORKS
Everything you need. Nothing you have to outgrow.
ONE PLATFORM, NOT FIVE SEPARATE TOOLS
Everything under one roof
Violations, ARC requests, work orders, accounting, resident communication, and payments live in one system. The Starter Pack has everything you need to serve your communities for a reasonable price.
AI THAT KNOWS THIS INDUSTRY
ALLi works inside your data
ALLi is FRONTSTEPS’ built-in AI assistant, made for community management, not a generic chatbot bolted on. Ask for a delinquency snapshot, automate steps in your workday, or turn meeting notes into minutes with action items.
WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER
The same tools, a lower price
Improve your workflows, save time, and increase cash flow on the same platform some of the largest communities in the country use — priced for your exact needs.
BUILT TO GROW WITH YOU
Scale up, don’t switch over
The Starter Pack runs on the same platform that powers large management companies, so scaling up means adding communities, not switching systems.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Four tools. One itemized platform.
FRONTSTEPS Caliber
Back office and accounting — violations, architectural requests, work orders, and reporting, built for community association management.
FRONTSTEPS Manager
FRONTSTEPS Manager simplifies daily operations by bringing everything together: violations, work orders, budgets, inspections, communications, and approvals.
FRONTSTEPS Community
A custom-branded resident portal where homeowners find documents, submit requests, and get answers, so fewer questions land in your inbox.
FRONTSTEPS Payments
Homeowners pay dues online. Payments flow straight into your accounting platform so reconciliation isn’t a second job.
ALLi
Your AI assistant — Integrated into FRONTSTEPS’ ecosystem, ALLi provides instant answers, drafted communications, automated workflows, and reporting help available to your whole team, at your desk or in the field.
TOTAL
One platform. No add-ons.
Made for management companies with 1–10 communities
If you’re a management company running a small but growing portfolio, the Starter Pack was built for you. You get professional-grade tools without enterprise complexity, and a partner who’s thinking about your next ten communities, not just your first three.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FRONTSTEPS Starter Pack?
The FRONTSTEPS Starter Pack is a bundled community management software package for growing management companies. It includes FRONTSTEPS Caliber for accounting and back-office operations, FRONTSTEPS Community for resident engagement, FRONTSTEPS Payments for online dues collection, and ALLi, an AI assistant built for HOA management.
Who is the Starter Pack for?
It’s designed for management companies with one to ten communities in their portfolio: teams that need real community management software but don’t need enterprise-scale complexity.
Is the Starter Pack a "lite" version of FRONTSTEPS?
No. It’s the full FRONTSTEPS platform, packaged and priced for smaller portfolios. You use the same tools larger management companies rely on, so nothing about your operation is downgraded.
What happens when my portfolio grows past ten communities?
You keep going. Because the Starter Pack runs on the full FRONTSTEPS platform, growing means adding communities, not migrating data, retraining your team, or switching software.
Does the Starter Pack include AI?
Yes. ALLi, FRONTSTEPS’ AI assistant, is included. ALLi answers questions about your communities, drafts resident communications, automates workflows like violations and board packet prep, and pulls reports on demand.
