The options
What people compare StrataMax with
StrataMax keeps its pricing private, charging per lot per month behind a sales enquiry, with a separate priced implementation project before you even start. Owners go looking for an alternative once the modules for payments, meetings and portals start stacking up as separate line items, and once they realise years of their own scheme and levy records sit in a system they cannot query or take with them.
Often compared
PropertyIQ
Named alongside StrataMax as one of the incumbent platforms for body corporate and strata management firms, and like StrataMax it is quote-only, with no public pricing.
Often compared
MRI Strata Master
Another of the quote-only incumbents that NZ and Australian strata firms compare against StrataMax, with pricing given only on enquiry.
Often compared
Onsite
A daily workflow tool that some managers buy as a second stack on top of their trust accounting platform, because the platform itself does not run the week.
Often compared
Resvu
Bought the same way as Onsite, as a second workflow subscription layered over the trust accounting platform to cover the day to day tasks it does not handle.

How to choose a StrataMax alternative
- 1
What the bill is actually tied to
StrataMax meters its charge per lot per month, so the bill grows every time you win a new building, whether or not your team's workload actually grows with it. Ask any alternative the same question: is the charge tied to lots, seats, or something else entirely.

Whether your records stay yours
Years of levy history, minutes and registers built up in a platform you do not own sit in a structure you cannot query directly. Leaving means asking the vendor for an export of data you created, then paying to have it moved into whatever comes next.
- 3
Whether it fits your own rules
A platform's reports and screens are drawn the vendor's way, not yours. If the question you actually have, like which committee is falling behind across your portfolio, always needs an export to a spreadsheet someone rebuilds by hand, the tool is not fitting your business.
- 4
What the switch actually involves
Every strata platform can export a building list and a roll as a spreadsheet file. A real switch means testing that export first, agreeing opening arrears against the old ledger, and deciding what stays in document storage rather than assuming everything carries across cleanly.
The option that fits
Own the version built around how you run
Body Corporate for Claude Code puts your schemes, lots, levies, meetings and registers into a database you own, run in plain language rather than through a vendor's screens. Enterprise DNA builds your own version around how your business actually runs, brings your StrataMax data across, and runs it for you, for one setup fee then a monthly retainer, with no per lot or per seat pricing. A free version exists if you want to run it yourself first.

Questions
StrataMax alternatives, answered
Is StrataMax pricing published anywhere? expand_more
No. StrataMax does not publish pricing. Access starts with a sales enquiry, and the platform is metered per lot, with the payments product, Meeting Hub and the portals sold as separate modules on top. A structured implementation project is priced separately before the subscription even starts.
Why do strata managers end up running two systems? expand_more
Trust accounting platforms like StrataMax handle the regulated money side but do not run the daily workflow, so managers often buy a second stack, such as Onsite or Resvu, on top. That means two subscriptions, two logins, and the roll re-keyed between them.
Can I bring my StrataMax roll into a new system? expand_more
Every strata platform, including StrataMax, PropertyIQ and MRI Strata Master, can export a building list and a roll as a spreadsheet file. A properly built importer can read those column names directly, so the schemes, lots, entitlements and owners land in the new system without manual re-entry.
Does an alternative to StrataMax still handle trust accounting? expand_more
Not necessarily, and that is by design in at least one alternative. Trust accounting, levy receipting, creditor payments and the audit file are a regulated obligation, so they can stay in the system that already holds them, while the roll, meetings, maintenance, insurance and compliance registers move to the new system.
