## Why chambers look past ChamberMaster.

Here are nine alternatives with the prices each vendor actually publishes, and the catch each one comes with. We make one of them, and we've said so on its row.

- No published price: the software, onboarding, website and payments are each quoted.
- The website isn't in the subscription.
- Payments run through GZ Pay, whose rates aren't published.
- Rival vendors describe an annual subscription.
- The directory lives in the software, not as pages built for search and AI on your own domain.

## Nine options, and the catch with each.

1. Hiveway for Chambers We make this one · $299 a month, flat, any size · Best for · Small and mid-size chambers that want the essentials, a website built and hosted for them, and no contract. · The catch · New and in its founding season, version one only. No QuickBooks sync, committees or phone support yet, and you apply rather than sign up. · Verdict · The only option here with one published flat price that includes the website and the move. Every member gets a real page AI can read; dues go to your own Stripe with no cut.
2. GrowthZone AMS · Quote only; from $3,900/year by GrowthZone's own figure · Best for · Larger organizations that want automation and a sales funnel. · The catch · Same company as ChamberMaster. The website (GZ CMS), GZ Pay and AI Newsletters are add-ons by quote. · Verdict · A step up in depth from the same vendor, not a step away from it.
3. MemberClicks (MC Trade) · From $3,500/year · Best for · Chambers and trade associations that want committees, an online store and sales tools. · The catch · Typical contracts run a year; add-ons such as Smart Newsletter and the member app are priced separately. · Verdict · Broad and capable, at the higher end, on annual terms.
4. Chamber Nation · $135/month to 100 members; $250 at 200; $420 at 400 · Best for · Chambers that want member profiles built for them at launch. · The catch · One-time setup from $1,250 to $3,125 for most chambers, a $25/month website hosting fee, and a price that grows with membership. · Verdict · Published prices and month to month, which is rare. The bill climbs as you grow.
5. ChamberDesk · From $258/month (300 member profiles) · Best for · Chambers that sell banner ads and want SMS built in. · The catch · A required $2,495 training fee, data conversion from $2,495, and website design from $4,599. · Verdict · A fair chamber-shaped package with heavy up-front fees.
6. WildApricot · $66/month at 100 contacts; $154 at 500 · Best for · Very small chambers on tight budgets with someone who'll build the site. · The catch · Priced by contacts, not members; a 20% fee on your plan if you use Stripe, PayPal or Authorize.net instead of its own payments. · Verdict · Real value if you stay small and use its payment service. Generic, not chamber-shaped.
7. MembershipWorks · Free to 50 accounts; $35/month to 300 · Best for · Small chambers with a good website they already keep up. · The catch · No website in the price: it plugs into the one you have, and you run it. · Verdict · The cheapest honest option here, with free phone support. You bring the site.
8. Glue Up · $3,000 to $6,500/year (Essential) · Best for · Event-heavy, multi-chapter or multi-language organizations. · The catch · Every plan is billed annually; the website is a power-up without a published price. · Verdict · Strong at events and scale. More than a one-town chamber usually needs.
9. Novi AMS · From $829/month billed annually, plus $3,600 onboarding · Best for · Well-funded chambers that need two-way QuickBooks sync. · The catch · Priced by your annual revenue, billed yearly, with onboarding on top. · Verdict · Polished, with the best QuickBooks story in the category, at the top of the price range.
