What Is BoardSpace?
BoardSpace is a cloud-based board management platform specifically built around the workflows of volunteer-led organizations. It replaces email threads and spreadsheets with a centralized system for agendas, minutes, documents, and action items management. This makes board information organized, searchable, and accessible to directors.
Its smart meeting tools, agenda templates, searchable documents, e-signatures, and task tracking help boards manage governance before, during, and after meetings. This gives directors a clearer view of board activities and keeps everyone aligned.
What Is BoardSpace Best For?
One feature that stands out in BoardSpace is its ability to turn meetings into finished minutes in ‘one structured workflow’. Users can build agendas with templates and drag-and-drop tools. Afterwards, they can record motions with proposer, seconder, and vote outcomes. There are options to mark attendance during the live meeting. Combined with e-signatures, these capabilities take directors from live discussion to signed, distributed minutes without hours of manual work.
How Much Does BoardSpace Cost?
The pricing for BoardSpace starts at $69/month, and the platform offers tiered pricing based on the size or structure of the organization. The available plans include:
- Condos And HOAs (<75 units): $69/month
- Condos And HOAs (76-150 units): $99/month
- Nonprofits (Up to 18 directors): $89/month
- Nonprofits (2-3 Committees): $130/month
In addition to the base subscription, organizations should account for:
- Implementation/Setup: ~$0–$500 (one-time); self-serve platform, no tech skills required
- Data Migration: ~$0–$1,500 (one-time); eased by native integration with TOPS Software
- Training/Onboarding: ‘Standard' onboarding is included in every subscription plan, ‘Premium’ comes with a custom price tag
- Integrations: ~$0–$1,000 (one-time)
Users generally find BoardSpace’s pricing fair, especially because it charges a flat fee per organization rather than per user. This benefits volunteer boards that may add or lose directors between renewal cycles. Compared with enterprise portals, BoardSpace holds a cost-effective position for organizations that need essential board management tools without paying for high-end features.
Disclaimer: The pricing is subject to change.

BoardSpace Use Cases
Based on our review of BoardSpace's features and capabilities, here are key scenarios where the platform becomes a good fit across different organization types:
1. Volunteer Condo Boards Losing Track of Decisions Across Email And Spreadsheets
Condo boards often rely on volunteer directors. They usually have limited time to organize meeting materials and follow up on decisions. After meetings, action items can get lost across emails and spreadsheets. BoardSpace helps boards keep meeting minutes, decisions, and responsibilities tied to each meeting, giving directors a clearer view of what was agreed on and what needs to happen next.
2. HOAs Struggling To Manage Board Meetings With Minimal Training
Most HOAs usually don't have in-house administrative staff to standardize how meetings are run. The result is meetings that tend to vary from one session to the next. BoardSpace provides a consistent structure for preparing, running, and documenting meetings, cutting down the learning curve for anyone stepping into an admin role. The staff can simply focus more on community issues and less on figuring out meeting logistics from scratch.
3. Community Associations And Housing Co-ops Struggling To Track Action Items
Community associations and housing co-ops can use BoardSpace to keep volunteer directors aligned on meeting decisions and follow-up responsibilities. Action tracking assigns tasks directly to individual directors with a due date, and flags anything still open when the next meeting's agenda is built. Instead of directors relying on memory or a side spreadsheet, unresolved items surface automatically.
4. Charity Boards Maintaining Organized Governance Records
Charities and nonprofits need reliable records of board decisions, particularly when leadership changes or information needs to be reviewed later. BoardSpace keeps meeting history, minutes, motions, votes, and supporting documents organized and accessible. This gives organizations a consistent record of how decisions were made without relying on individual directors to retain years of information.
5. Boards Preserving Institutional Knowledge During Director Turnover
Volunteer boards frequently lose institutional knowledge when experienced directors step down. New directors may have to rely on informal handovers or search through old emails to understand previous decisions. BoardSpace keeps historical minutes, documents, and meeting records accessible, allowing incoming directors to get up to speed faster and make decisions with better context.
Is BoardSpace Right For You?
BoardSpace is an ideal fit for volunteer-led organizations that need specialized governance tools without enterprise complexity. The platform combines meeting automation and document security to help boards manage their institutional memory.
Furthermore, it comes with support for multiple spaces, role-based permissions, SSL encryption, and one flat fee per-organization. This makes it scalable across growing boards, committees, and organizations. However, it's still best suited for small and mid-sized teams, not large enterprises that may need complex governance structures.

BoardSpace Features
Event Setups
Admin staff can create recurring events on a weekly, monthly, annual, or custom schedule. The next occurrence is generated automatically after each event, eliminating manual resets. Supporting files such as agendas, contracts, and venue details can be attached directly to the event, keeping all related information together.
Document Management
Every BoardSpace plan comes with up to 1/2 TB of document storage. Organizations can use a shared library to keep materials accessible across boards or create separate repositories for individual boards and committees. This makes it easier to keep documents organized while restricting access where different groups need privacy.
Custom Tags Library
Using this feature, administrators can create a standardized library of tags for organizing documents by topic, type, or category. Once established, the same vocabulary can be applied across records, making searches more consistent over time. Tags can also be renamed, corrected, or merged, and it does not affect the documents already associated with them.
Find Everything
BoardSpace provides a single search across meetings, motions, documents, actions, and minutes, including records from the organization's earliest activity. Filters let users narrow results by content type and date range. Selecting a result takes them directly to the original record, providing the surrounding meeting or document context without additional searching.
Build And Run Polls
The software supports polls for collecting decisions and opinions between meetings. Polls can close automatically when everyone has voted or when the specified deadline arrives. The results can also be made public or kept confidential depending on the situation. Once closed, the outcome is automatically added to the board's official record for future reference.
Reminders And Notifications
Board staff can customize how many and when reminders should be sent before an event. Notifications can also target directors alone or include owners and members when broader communication is needed. Additionally, the events overview brings upcoming meetings, deadlines, community activities, and contract renewals into view. This helps board members stay ahead of important dates.
