A broad debt-operations platform for established agencies with a $5,000 monthly starting price.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Client Management Application (CMA) is cloud-hosted software for debt management, debt settlement, financial counseling, and configurable client service programs. It is designed for established agencies that need connected operational records across intake, client management, budgets, creditor workflows, payments, documents, communications, tasks, reporting, and client-portal access. Web and API platforms are supported, with optional AI assistance for notes, documents, calls, and reporting.
The published Debt Management Hosting plan starts at $5,000 per month and includes hosting, maintenance, and support. The plan is built on the vendor's technology stack, while final pricing is tailored to organization size. There is no free plan. This pricing and scope make CMA a fit for organizations seeking a broad operating system for debt programs rather than a low-cost point solution. Its workflow coverage includes payment disbursement, returns, reconciliation, configurable rules, dashboards, exports, document templates, signatures, and messages.
CMA's ecosystem includes HUD ARM, NFCC Locator, Mastercard RPPS, Peregrin, Equifax, TransUnion, Spinwheel, Asterisk / FreePBX, Mailgun / Sinch, Twilio, eFax, Google Workspace Gmail, USPS, Five9 QM, and OpenAI. These connections support credit data, payment processing, communications, telephony, email, fax, postal workflows, quality management, and AI-assisted functions. Organizations that need creditor tracking, balance tracking, payment operations, and configurable debt workflows should shortlist CMA. Agencies seeking a lower-priced tool, a free tier, or open-source software should consider alternatives.
