Editorial verdict

Largest printed AU lot count — still no public price or DC

StrataMax still prints nearly 650,000 lots, nine bundled modules, SBR BAS/PAYG and a seven-channel StrataPay stack. Pricing remains a sales call. The security page only claims alignment with ISO 27001, SOC 2 and PCI DSS Level 1 and does not name a data centre. Use 1800 65 63 68, not the StrataPay 1300. Compare MRI Strata Master if you want 900K+ lots and a launching cloud SKU, or Intellistrata if you need a printed per-lot range and ISO 27001:2022.

Best for
Established AU strata agencies that want SBR scheme BAS, bundled modules and will take a quote.
Not ideal for
Buyers who need a live dollar table, a named AU data centre, or Xero/MYOB.

AU Compliance Scores

These scores apply to Australian tax, payroll and banking capabilities where they are relevant to StrataMax. They are SoftwareHQ editorial judgements from public documentation, not firsthand product tests.

Not applicable means this product type is not scored on that dimension (for example BAS lodgement on a CRM). Not supported means the vendor does not offer it. Unknown means we could not verify it from public sources — that is not the same as unsupported.

How this review was made

Reviews separate vendor documentation, editorial analysis and firsthand records. They are not interchangeable.

  • Vendor documentation — Public pages from StrataMax and other sites. Recorded HTTP(S) URLs are listed under Sources. A source URL is a document we recorded, not a claim that every sentence on this page was checked against that URL.
  • Editorial analysis — SoftwareHQ's written verdict and scores for Australian buyers. The header score is an editorial assessment, not a user-review average, not a lab result, and not a number derived from how many evidence records exist.
  • Firsthand records — This review has no firsthand observation records, trial walkthroughs, or screenshots from a logged-in SoftwareHQ account. Missing tests stay not tested.

This page does not rank products by speed or security from documentation or from evidence count.

Checked by SoftwareHQ Editorial Team. There is no named author profile for this page; attribution stays with the SoftwareHQ editorial team. How we test and the editorial policy for scoring, independence and affiliate rules.

StrataMax Alternatives

If StrataMax doesn’t quite fit your needs, consider these alternatives for Australian businesses:

  • MRI Strata Master — 900K+ lots, trust accounting, quote-only — Strata Master Cloud still launching.
  • Intellistrata — Printed $10–$55/lot/year from 600 lots — ISO 27001:2022, AU+US hosting.
  • Urbanise Strata — AWS Australia + ISO 27001, per-lot quote — NAB payments still a July 2026 pilot.
