PushBackHOA is an online tool that writes HOA dispute letters for $19 or $29, in ten states. Illinois isn't one of them. DispuPoint (dispupoint.com) is an Illinois service where one person works your whole case for $349. Here's an honest side-by-side, for Illinois homeowners and anyone comparing the two.
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. PushBackHOA starts from what you give it about one notice. DispuPoint starts from everything you have, and a person stays with the case.
| PushBackHOA | DispuPoint | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $19 Basic, $29 Pro | Free assessment, then $349 flat |
| Works from | Your state, dispute type and a description | Every document and email you send |
| States | 10, not including Illinois | Illinois only |
| Who reviews it | Self-serve. Its terms say it "uses artificial intelligence" | A person reviews every case before you see it |
| After the letter | Pro adds next-steps, escalation and evidence guides | The same person helps with the board's reply and escalation |
| Reads your history with the board | No, your description only | Yes: emails, ledgers, minutes, bylaws, photos |
| Talk to a person | By email | A phone call with Gaston when your case needs one |

What is PushBackHOA?
PushBackHOA is an online letter generator for HOA disputes. You pick your state and the type of dispute (a fine, a rule violation, an HOA that won't respond, or a maintenance failure), describe what happened, and it writes a letter citing your state's statutes. Basic is $19. Pro is $29 and adds a next-steps guide.
What does PushBackHOA do well?
It goes beyond fines. Most letter tools are built around a violation notice, but PushBackHOA also writes letters for an HOA that ignores you and for maintenance it won't do, which is where a lot of real disputes start. It's quick and cheap, and the Pro checklist helps you build a record.
Where does PushBackHOA stop?
It doesn't cover Illinois. As of October 2026 it lists ten states: Florida, California, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Colorado, Washington and Minnesota. Where it does work, the letter comes from your description and nobody reviews it. Its own terms say you're responsible for the letter's accuracy and should verify every statute citation yourself.
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 PushBackHOA or DispuPoint?
If your home is in Illinois, PushBackHOA can't help yet, so the real choice is between DispuPoint and the 50-state tools on our comparison page. If you live in one of its ten states, it's a cheap way to get a first letter out. DispuPoint works Illinois cases only, for now.
No payment now. The $349 only starts your case if you act. See what it covers.
Frequently asked questions
Does PushBackHOA work in Illinois?
Not as of October 2026. PushBackHOA lists ten states: Florida, California, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Colorado, Washington and Minnesota. If your home is in Illinois, compare DispuPoint with the 50-state tools instead, or start with the free DispuPoint assessment.
What does PushBackHOA cover that other letter tools don't?
Besides fines and rule violations, it writes letters for an HOA that ignores you and for maintenance the HOA won't do. Most notice checkers only handle the violation notice. DispuPoint covers all of those in Illinois, plus records requests, fees and property manager problems.
Why does DispuPoint cost $349 when PushBackHOA is $19?
Because it's a different job. PushBackHOA writes a letter from your description. The $349 covers your whole case: reading every document, the demand letter, help when the board responds and the escalation forms if you need them, with one person on it throughout.
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.
