The written short answer is being updated after a re-evaluation. The scores below are current.
Read this comparison as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.
The Portfolio Manager
Runs a firm managing several thousand units and lives on throughput. Wants statutory inspections scheduled with proof stored, defects that route to the right trade, multi-community reporting, and onboarding a new WEG that takes days rather than a quarter.

Criterion by criterion
Wirtschaftsplan, Jahresabrechnung & Rücklage
Condomana
The core cycle is there: budget each cost type and the plan computes every unit's Hausgeld, the Jahresabrechnung is drafted from the year's bookings, apportioned by my keys and frozen on approval, with Sonderumlagen covered — that is a clean rubric level 5. What keeps it from higher is silence on the Rücklage as a separate trust balance, no Abrechnungsspitze/Vermögensbericht, no HeizkostenV apportionment, no owner-change splits and no arrears dunning.
Immoware24
The WEG pages show the statutory cycle largely done in-system: Jahresabrechnung per § 28 WEG with Gesamt- and Einzelabrechnungen, Rücklagenabrechnung and Vermögensbericht at a button press, a Wirtschaftsplan built from prior-year values, costs distributed automatically by defined keys, and Mahnwesen with SEPA and DATEV export behind it — the throughput I need across thousands of units. I found no public information on the Abrechnungsspitze shown separately, owner-change apportionment mid-year, or strict per-WEG trust-account separation with its own reporting, which is what the top band demands.
Eigentümerversammlung & Beschluss-Sammlung
Condomana
A real voting engine where each agenda item carries its basis (per head or by ownership share) and its majority and computes the result on closing, plus a gapless, continuously numbered, append-only Beschluss-Sammlung where challenges are annotated rather than overwritten — that reaches past a plain numbered register. But the evidence says nothing about invitations with the notice period, attendance or proxy recording, quorum for qualified majorities, or minutes generated from the recorded votes, so it sits between the 5 and 8 anchors.
Immoware24
A genuine meeting module is evidenced: training material covers creating and sending the invitation, running the assembly, and generating both the Protokoll and the Beschluss-Sammlung, hybrid assemblies with online voting are advertised, and protocols are signed eIDAS-conformantly on smartphone or tablet. I found no public information on notice-period handling, attendance and proxy recording, quorum and majority arithmetic per resolution type, or amendment and invalidation notes kept in the register, so safety on contested resolutions is unproven.
Owner & tenant self-service
Condomana
Owners see their building's documents, defects and news with per-owner document permissioning, requests run through the Eigentümerportal, defect reports arrive with a photo and a status visible to the reporter, and landlords can invite their tenants in — that is most of the anchor-8 separation without me touching email. Not evidenced: meeting papers or voting in the portal, per-unit consumption or arrears, and any access log that would discharge the disclosure duty on demand.
Immoware24
Portal24 removes most of the routine correspondence I pay staff for: owners and tenants get their own views with only released contract data and documents, damage reports with photo upload and a status transparent to the reporter, monthly consumption information per § 6a HeizkostenV fed automatically from the metering service into the portal, plus iOS and Android apps, with meeting papers delivered digitally and voting run online. I found no public information on an access log over what an owner viewed or notifications for statutory deadlines, so the full disclosure duty is not evidenced.
Maintenance, defects & contractors
Condomana
Defects tracked from open to done with photos (including offline mobile capture), tradesman assignment, and recurring maintenance that raises its own ticket at due date — plus a forward-only timeline that holds up as a duty-of-care record. For a portfolio my size the missing pieces hurt: no statutory inspections (lift, heating, fire, drinking water) with proof of completion stored, no Gewährleistung tracking against the responsible trade, and no quotes/invoices linked to the defect with cost allocated to the right account.
Immoware24
Intake to archive is a real workflow — four steps, photos and transparent status coming in from the portal, an AI answering machine that turns calls into tickets, quote requests from several contractors with comparison and work-order assignment, and vetted trades via Craftware24. I found no public information on a recurring maintenance calendar with reminders, statutory inspections for lift, heating, fire safety or drinking water scheduled with proof of completion stored, or warranty periods tracked against the responsible trade, so the defensible operating record I need is not evidenced.
Documents, retention & handover
Condomana
Full-text search across everything filed per building and unit, retention grounded in § 257 HGB / § 147 AO at ten years for invoices, and a vollständiger CSV-Export with a migrationsimport on the way in — no lock-in language anywhere. But there is no version history, no evidence documents are linked to the resolutions and settlements that reference them, and no defined handover package a successor administrator can load, so it lands between the 5 and 8 anchors.
Immoware24
Document management with tagging and search, location-independent access, AI classification of imported files and custom filename rules for invoices is evidenced, and the ticket workflow ends in an archive step. I found no public information on version history, retention periods executed per statutory rule, or a defined export of a community's records that a successor administrator could actually load — the data-portability passage in the privacy policy is a legal right, not a handover feature.
European sovereignty
Condomana
German contracting entity (nelo digitalagentur GmbH & Co KG, Amtsgericht Ulm) on named German infrastructure (Hetzner, Gunzenhausen), no third-country transfers in principle, signed AVV per Art. 28, AI processing exclusively on EU servers — solid. Docked because the AI subprocessor is engaged but never named, Buffer Inc. (San Francisco) sits in the chain for social publishing, and no certification (ISO, C5) is published.
Immoware24
The contracting entity is the German Immoware24 GmbH under German law, and the vendor's pages state that all data is hosted exclusively in ISO-27001-certified, geo-redundant datacenters in Germany with an external data protection officer and an Art. 28 agreement. The chain is not evidenced end to end: I found no published subprocessor list for the product itself, no named infrastructure, and the vendor's own website uses US tools such as Microsoft Clarity and Bing with data transferred to servers in the USA.
Pricing transparency
Condomana
I can compute my whole invoice from public pages: €10 per unit per year excl. VAT, €2.50 for parking and storage, worked examples that check out (24 units → €240; 120 units in five buildings → €1,200), all features in one tier, unlimited admins and owners free, annual billing by bank transfer with no auto-renewal.
Immoware24
The pricing pages give the shape of the bill but no figure on it: price by number of management units, active users and optional modules, pay-per-use with no fixed packages, a twelve-month minimum term with multi-year discounts, a thirty-day free trial, and all prices plus VAT. Not a single euro amount is published anywhere I can see, so for my unit count the annual cost is not computable from public pages without a sales conversation.
