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 Skeptic

Has read many pages claiming "WEG-konform" and wants the feature that makes it true — the post-2021 settlement form, the maintained Beschluss-Sammlung, the majority arithmetic. Also reads for the per-unit minimum, the setup fee, and what it costs a community to leave with its own records.

DOMUS

This judge's pick

Karthago

Criterion by criterion

Wirtschaftsplan, Jahresabrechnung & Rücklage

DOMUS

The captured material shows page titles for booking a Wirtschaftsplan and producing the Hausgeldabrechnung "WEG 2.0", but confirms nothing inside them: we found no public information on the Abrechnungsspitze, distribution keys, heating-cost apportionment or how the Rücklage is booked. A title is not a settlement form.

Karthago

"WEG- & Nebenkostenabrechnung" appears as a named module next to double-entry bookkeeping, so a settlement function exists — but the evidence never shows a Wirtschaftsplan, a distribution key, the Rücklage separated from ordinary balances, or the Abrechnungsspitze the BGH has required since 2021. A feature tile is not a settlement form.

Eigentümerversammlung & Beschluss-Sammlung

DOMUS

Pages advertise an Abstimmungsmodul for online owners' meetings and new assembly functions — more than invitation templates if true — yet nothing captured covers convening periods, proxies, majority arithmetic or the Beschluss-Sammlung as a numbered, maintained register. I credit the topic, not the feature.

Karthago

The evidence is entirely silent on meetings: no invitation, agenda, voting, or the Beschluss-Sammlung the law obliges the administrator to maintain, and the vendor's own "alles in einer Lösung" claim enumerates everything the product does without any of it. Silence at this criterion is the anchor-zero case.

Owner & tenant self-service

DOMUS

The only signal is a page title about placing documents online in the homecase portal; we found no public information on per-owner logins, owners seeing their own statements, meeting papers in the portal or a defect form with visible status. That is thin for a portal claim.

Karthago

The scope statement claims "Kommunikation mit Eigentümern und Mietern" but no portal, per-owner login, statement view, or defect form is evidenced anywhere — communication could equally be post. I allow one point for owners and tenants being addressed at all, nothing more.

Maintenance, defects & contractors

DOMUS

Pages on a ServiceCase maintenance portal and a communication platform with trades and service providers suggest contractors are reached inside the system; nothing captured describes defect records with status and photos, recurring maintenance schedules or stored proof of statutory inspections. A promising pair of titles is not an operating record.

Karthago

"Digitales Facility Management" is a label in the module list, not a functioning record: no defect intake, no recurring maintenance calendar, no statutory inspection proof, no contractor work orders. That is exactly the tile-without-mechanism the 3-anchor describes.

Documents, retention & handover

DOMUS

A page on reports and data exports exists and documents appear to be placed online via homecase, but we found no public information on version history, retention periods or a complete handover package with ledger and register. Export as a title is not handover as a feature.

Karthago

An integrated document management module exists, but the evidence shows no versioning, no retention periods, and no defined export — the exit, which for a WEG is a statutory event, is completely unevidenced. I cannot credit a handover capability nobody has shown me.

European sovereignty

DOMUS

The contracting entity is a German AG registered at Munich, and the privacy policy names adequacy decisions and EU standard contractual clauses for any third-country transfer plus self-hosted analytics; we found no public information on where the software's data is hosted or which subprocessors are involved. An EU entity with an unnamed processing chain earns the middle of the scale, no more.

Karthago

German cloud servers with "zertifiziertem Datenschutz" plus a genuine on-premise option are real and better than hosting-as-an-afterthought — but the contracting entity is unresolved (the consent form names Aareon while the vendor's jurisdiction is formally unknown), no subprocessor list is published, and TeamViewer sits unexplained in the support chain. Subprocessor list absent is the 3-anchor; standard German hosting earns a step above it.

Pricing transparency

DOMUS

The only purchasing evidence is an offer-request form preceded by a product configurator and a partner shop run by TSA Solution GmbH; we found no public information on per-unit prices, minimum terms, setup or migration fees, or VAT treatment. A configurator that ends in a Beratungsgespräch is a sales conversation, not a computable annual cost.

Karthago

No price appears on any captured page; the only route in is a consultation form demanding "Verwaltete Einheiten" and "Benötigte Arbeitsplätze" — the definition of every quote being a sales conversation. Per-unit minimum, setup fee, term and exit costs are all invisible.
