Pastrata vs StrataPress
StrataPress made its name automating Form B and Form F document sales for BC real estate transactions, and expanded from there into an owner portal. If your building already uses StrataPress for documents, here is an honest look at where Pastrata differs.
Where StrataPress is strong
- • Automates Form B and Form F certificate sales, a legally required BC real estate workflow, at no cost to property managers.
- • OCR and AI-based document classification that can sort large document archives quickly during onboarding.
- • Canadian data residency, hosted in Toronto and Montreal.

Questions about switching
Can I keep using StrataPress for Form B/F document sales?
Yes. Pastrata does not currently sell Form B/F certificates, so many buildings run StrataPress for document sales alongside Pastrata for community, communication, and fee collection.
Does Pastrata support the BC Strata Property Act?
Yes. Pastrata is jurisdiction-aware for BC and Ontario, including BC-specific fee schedules and prescribed notices.
