Nabr Network Connects Your Residents. Hivepoint Runs Your HOA.
Nabr Network is a mobile engagement app — announcements, polls, package alerts. Hivepoint handles everything the board actually manages: dues, violations, financials, and meeting records.
A mobile engagement app vs. a management platform
Nabr Network (also marketed as "Neigbrs" in some contexts) is a mobile-first community engagement platform. It focuses on what residents experience: app-based announcements, polls, community events, package notifications, and communication between residents and the board. The native mobile app with push notifications is a genuine strength.
The honest comparison: if your board's primary need is a resident-facing app with push notifications and polls, Nabr Network is a real option. The gap is operational management. Nabr has no financial management module, no violation enforcement workflow, no board meeting tools. Boards using Nabr Network still manage dues in spreadsheets and violations by email — the same problem as other communication-first platforms, approached from a mobile-app angle.
Hivepoint adds the management layer Nabr Network doesn't include: a dues ledger with aging reports, a violation workflow with formal notices, financial statements built from your actual transaction data, and board meeting records that survive board member turnover.

Switching from Nabr Network
Boards switching from Nabr Network typically already have resident communication working — the gap is the management side. Hivepoint adds dues tracking, financial reports, and violation workflows while keeping a resident-facing portal for community communication. Most boards are fully operational within 2 weeks.
When the engagement app isn't enough
"Residents love the app, but we still track dues in Excel"
Nabr Network's strength is resident engagement, not financial management. If your treasurer is still running dues in a spreadsheet alongside Nabr, Hivepoint consolidates both: resident communication portal plus full dues and financial tracking in one platform.
"We have a violation dispute but no paper trail"
Nabr Network has no violation enforcement workflow. When a homeowner disputes a fine, there's no logged notice history, no cure period record, no documented board decision. Hivepoint's violation tracking creates that paper trail automatically.
"Our annual meeting financial report is a printout of a spreadsheet"
Nabr Network has no financial reporting. If your treasurer prepares the annual budget presentation in Excel and prints it out for the meeting, Hivepoint produces professional income/expense and reserve fund reports directly from your transaction data.
When Nabr Network is the right choice
Nabr Network genuinely excels at mobile community engagement. It makes sense if:
- Your board's primary goal is push-notification-based resident communication via a native mobile app
- You already have a separate accounting system and don't need financial reporting in your HOA platform
- Covenant enforcement is minimal and you don't need a formal violation workflow
- Resident adoption of a phone app is more important than board management tooling
If your board also needs to run a dues ledger, produce financial reports for the annual meeting, log violations with a paper trail, or manage ARC requests — those jobs require a management platform, not an engagement app.

Common questions about Nabr Network vs. Hivepoint
Is Nabr Network a full HOA management platform?
No. Nabr Network focuses on resident engagement — communication, polls, events, and notifications. Boards still need separate tools for financial management and violation enforcement. The platform does not include a dues aging report, a P&L statement, a violation workflow, or board meeting records.
Does Nabr Network handle dues collection and financial reporting?
Nabr has limited payment features but no full financial management module. Dues aging reports, P&L statements, and reserve fund tracking are not part of the platform. Boards using Nabr Network for dues collection still manage their financial reporting separately — typically in spreadsheets or a separate accounting tool.
Does Nabr Network have a violation tracking system?
No formal violation workflow exists in Nabr Network. Covenant enforcement is handled outside the platform — boards typically send notices by email with no structured logging of violation history, cure periods, or board decisions. If a dispute escalates, there is no documented enforcement record to reference.
What does Nabr Network do better than Hivepoint?
Nabr Network's native mobile app with push notifications provides a better resident communication experience than browser-based portals. Residents receive push alerts on their phones for announcements, package notifications, and community events. If resident engagement via a mobile app is the board's primary need, Nabr Network genuinely excels at that use case.
How long does it take to switch from Nabr Network to Hivepoint?
Most boards complete the transition in 2 weeks. Hivepoint handles data import — owner roster, dues balances, and account history. Resident communication continues through Hivepoint's portal from day one. White-glove onboarding is included with every plan.
Can Hivepoint replace both Nabr Network and the board's spreadsheets?
Yes. Hivepoint provides both the resident-facing portal — replacing Nabr Network's communication layer — and the board management tools that replace spreadsheets: dues ledger, financial reporting, violation tracking, ARC management, and board meeting records. Boards that switch from Nabr Network typically eliminate their parallel spreadsheet workflows at the same time.
