The counterintuitive math
Wait — Autopilot actually saves you money?
It sounds backwards, but it's true. The lower platform fees on Autopilot can save your HOA more than the $25/month subscription. Here's the math — plain and simple.
By default the building covers Stripe's standard processing fee, so owners pay exactly their assessment — or your board can flip a setting and residents see the fee at checkout instead.
The platform fee is what Nestingbird charges your HOA to cover Stripe costs and keep the lights on.

Money back in your HOA's pocket
The bottom line: if your community collects $12,500 or more per month online, Autopilot saves you money.
That's as few as 50 homes at $250/month or 65 homes at $200/month. The bigger your community, the more you save — and you get every premium feature on top: automated accounting, automated recurring invoicing, unlimited 24/7 Ask Birdie, and more.
