Membership software alternatives for small clubs
What a club could use instead of a big all-in-one system, as each product publishes it: price, what it includes, and where we could not read the page, a plain not verified.
Not affiliated. Clubroll is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to WildApricot or any other product named on this page. Names appear only to compare what each one publishes.
The alternatives, at a glance

A site builder, a mailing tool and a spreadsheet
Many societies run on a site builder, a mailing tool and a spreadsheet, retyping the same names into each. Squarespace Basic is listed at $25 a month billed monthly (US price; the page shows your own currency). A mailing-list tool has a free plan for small lists, and a spreadsheet costs nothing. Squarespace, read 1 October 2026. That is cheaper than $39 a month. What you pay with it is time, in three places that must be kept in step by hand.
Questions to ask any of them
- What counts toward the price? Contacts, members, active members or the club. Ask what happens to a lapsed or archived record.
- How do members pay, and who takes the fee? A flat subscription, a share of each payment, or the payment provider's own charge. Ask for the number.
- Can I get everything out? Ask for a sample export of the roll, the dues and past newsletters before you put anything in.
- Who helps when something goes wrong? A phone number, a chat window or an email address, and how long an answer takes.
- What happens to my data if I stop paying? How long it is kept, and whether you can still download it.
Where Clubroll fits
Clubroll is $39 a month flat: against the products above it is neither the cheapest nor the dearest, and it does less on payments and events than several of them. What it does differently is build the club's public website from the roll, so the dates, the dues and the newsletter are entered once. It does not take payments for you, sell tickets or answer a telephone. The full list of what it does and does not do is on the WildApricot comparison, and the arithmetic of its published prices is on the pricing page explained.
Questions
Which is the cheapest?
Several products publish a free plan or free tier for a small club: Membermojo for up to 50 members, TidyHQ with a fee on online payments, Zeffy for nonprofits, and Kananas for up to 50 contacts. Free plans differ in what they leave out and in what they charge on payments, so read the table, not the headline.
Is Clubroll the right choice?
It might not be. It is $39 a month for the club, builds the site from the roll and keeps the dues book and newsletter in one place. It takes no online payments, no event registrations and no phone calls. The WildApricot comparison says plainly who it suits and who it does not.
How do I choose in an hour?
Write down the five jobs you do every year, tick which products do each of them from their own pages, export your roll, and use the switching checklist to try your top two with your real list before you pay for either.
