FixMyHOA runs a free AI audit of an HOA violation notice and sells a $19.99 defense kit with a letter and AI follow-up. DispuPoint (dispupoint.com) is an Illinois service where one person works your whole case for $349. Here's an honest side-by-side, including when FixMyHOA is the better pick.
How do they compare side by side?
The biggest difference isn't the price. It's what each one works from, and who's there after the letter goes out. FixMyHOA starts from what you give it about one notice. DispuPoint starts from everything you have, and a person stays with the case.
| FixMyHOA | DispuPoint | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free audit, $19.99 defense kit | Free assessment, then $349 flat |
| Works from | Your notice, plus your CC&Rs if you upload them | Every document and email you send |
| States | All 50 | Illinois only |
| Who reviews it | Self-serve, described as an "AI-Powered Instant Audit" | A person reviews every case before you see it |
| After the letter | Up to 10 AI follow-up conversations | The same person helps with the board's reply and escalation |
| Reads your history with the board | No, the notice and your CC&Rs | Yes: emails, ledgers, minutes, bylaws, photos |
| Talk to a person | By email | A phone call with Gaston when your case needs one |

What is FixMyHOA?
FixMyHOA, at fixmyhoaviolation.com, runs a free AI audit of your violation notice and lists procedural defects with statute citations. Its $19.99 Complete HOA Defense Kit adds a custom dispute letter in Word and PDF, hearing and records request language, certified mail steps, an evidence checklist and up to ten AI follow-up conversations.
What does FixMyHOA do well?
For $19.99 it packs in a lot: mailing instructions, a photo checklist for selective enforcement, and AI follow-up if the board writes back. It also offers 30 days money-back on the kit. If you want to run your own dispute and like having a checklist, it's a solid toolkit.
Where does FixMyHOA stop?
The follow-up is an AI chat, and the strategy is yours to run. Nobody reads your file as a whole, connects the manager's emails to the ledger to the declaration, or decides which claim to lead with. The site calls itself "educational HOA resources only," so the judgment calls stay with you.
What does DispuPoint do differently?
DispuPoint reads everything you send: emails, ledgers, minutes, bylaws, photos. Gaston Sitbon, a sitting Illinois condo board member who has been in your shoes, reviews every case, and talks it through by phone when your case needs it. Then he stays on it: the demand letter, the board's reply, and the IDFPR, Ombudsperson or small claims forms if needed.

Should I use FixMyHOA or DispuPoint?
Pick FixMyHOA if you want to run the dispute yourself and a $19.99 toolkit with AI help fits the problem. Pick DispuPoint when the case is complex: the dispute has a history, involves repairs, records, fees or the management company, or you want a person on it. The DispuPoint assessment is free either way.
No payment now. The $349 only starts your case if you act. See what it covers.
Frequently asked questions
Does FixMyHOA cover Illinois?
Yes. It lists all 50 states with a state guide for each, and it cites statute sections in its audit. It reads your notice and, if you upload them, your CC&Rs. It doesn't read the email history, ledger or minutes where a lot of Illinois disputes are won or lost.
Is FixMyHOA's follow-up the same as DispuPoint's?
No. FixMyHOA gives you up to ten AI strategy conversations if the board responds, and you decide what to do with them. With DispuPoint, the person who reviewed your case reads the board's reply, knows your whole file and helps you answer it, including the escalation forms if it comes to that.
Why does DispuPoint cost $349 when FixMyHOA is $19.99?
Because it's a different job. The kit gives you tools to run the dispute. The $349 puts a person on your whole case: reading every document, the demand letter, the board's reply and the escalation forms if you need them. If one notice is the whole problem, FixMyHOA is a fair choice.
Can I talk to someone on the phone?
Yes. Once you've done your free assessment and decided DispuPoint is the right fit, a phone call with Gaston is an option when your case needs one, and some clients have met him in person. It's part of working your case together. The letter tools compared here are self-serve websites you contact by email or form.
