ChamberMaster vs GrowthZone

This comparison surprises people: ChamberMaster and GrowthZone come from the same company. GrowthZone, based in Nisswa, Minnesota, sells ChamberMaster as its chamber of commerce edition and GrowthZone AMS as its platform for membership organizations generally, and since 2023 also sells MemberSuite to larger associations.

Option AChoose ChamberMaster if

You're a chamber that wants software shaped around chambers and doesn't need sales automation.

  • You're a chamber first and want chamber terms and workflows.
  • You want the long-standing chamber product thousands of chambers already use.

Option BChoose GrowthZone if

Your chamber runs like an association with a sales team and wants automation and a funnel built in.

  • You need marketing automation and a sales funnel.
  • You also serve members who aren't businesses, or run like a trade association.

So the choice isn't between vendors. It's between two products with the same support lines, the same add-ons and the same quote-based pricing, built for slightly different organizations.

The third option

If what you want is a price you can read.

If what you really want is a price you can read, consider a third option. Both GrowthZone products are sold by quote, with the website, payments and onboarding as separate lines.

Hiveway for Chambers is $299 a month, flat for any size, month to month, with a WordPress website we build and host, the move off your old system, and dues and tickets paid into your own Stripe account with no cut. Every member is a real page on your own domain that search engines and AI can read. Founding season: we're building Hiveway now with our first chamber, and taking applications from founding chambers and destinations.

Questions, answered plainly.

Are ChamberMaster and GrowthZone the same company?

Yes. GrowthZone makes both, plus MemberSuite, which it acquired in 2023.

Which is cheaper, ChamberMaster or GrowthZone?

Both are sold by quote and both are listed from $3,900 a year. Your quote depends on your size and the add-ons you choose.

Can I move from ChamberMaster to GrowthZone?

They're the same vendor, so ask GrowthZone what moving between its products involves and costs.
