What's the difference between Flex Strata and full Strata Pages?
Committees sometimes assume Flex Strata and Strata Pages are competing products. They're the same platform, scoped differently.
Quick answer
Full Strata Pages is the manager's platform, covering levies, budgets, cashbooks and bank reconciliation as well as everything committees use. Flex Strata is the committee-only slice — same platform, without the accounting engine a manager runs behind the scenes.
Key takeaways
- Flex Strata is the committee-only slice of the full Strata Pages platform
- Levies, budgets, cashbooks and arrears stay in full Strata Pages
- Moving between the two doesn't mean losing your existing records
Strata Pages is the full strata management system used by managers and self-managing owners corporations to run the financial and administrative side of a scheme, including levies, budgets, cashbooks, bank reconciliation and fee notices. Flex Strata is built on the same underlying platform but deliberately leaves the accounting engine out, focusing on the tools a committee itself uses.
What Flex Strata includes
- Committee Hub private threads
- Meetings, proxies, resolutions and ballots
- Maintenance board: work orders, quotes, invoices and spend approvals
- Contractor register with insurance tracking
- Compliance register, documents and certificates
- Notices, requests, action items and workflow boards
- Per-page access control and an audit log
What stays in full Strata Pages
- Levies and budgets
- Cashbooks and bank reconciliation
- Fee notices and arrears tracking
Why the split exists
Most committees don't need to run a trust account or reconcile a bank feed — that's usually a manager's job, whether that manager is a professional firm or a self-managing treasurer using the full product. Flex Strata gives the committee its own record of decisions and operations without paying for, or having to learn, a full accounting suite.
Can the two work together?
Yes. A building can run its financial administration in full Strata Pages — whether through a manager or self-managed — while the committee uses Flex Strata for its own working record, with the manager given whatever page access the committee decides on.
Moving between them
Because it's the same platform, a committee that starts on Flex Strata and later takes on full financial self-management can move up to Strata Pages without losing its Flex Strata history — meetings, documents, compliance and maintenance records carry across rather than needing to be rebuilt.
Same platform, different scope
Flex Strata and Strata Pages share the same underlying system. Flex Strata simply leaves out the accounting suite a manager or self-managing treasurer runs.
Flex Strata is the committee-focused slice of the Strata Pages platform, covering meetings, maintenance, compliance, documents and access control. It excludes levies, budgets, cashbooks and arrears tracking, which remain part of full Strata Pages, used by managers and self-managing bodies corporate that need complete financial administration.
