Glue Up is strong at events and at organizations with chapters, languages and currencies to juggle. For a single-town chamber, the questions are price ranges that run from $3,000 to $18,500 a year depending on the plan, annual billing on every plan, and a website that's a separately listed power-up.
Here's what Glue Up publishes, beside what Hiveway includes.

What you'd actually pay
The honest math.
Glue Up publishes price ranges rather than prices: Essential (shown as Professional in places) at $3,000 to $6,500 a year, Advanced at $8,000 to $18,500 a year with LMS training and up to five team licenses, and Enterprise by quote. Its FAQ says pricing varies by organization size and requirements, and that add-ons for events, emails, admins, contacts and integrations can be bought.
Every plan is billed annually, and the website is a power-up without a published price.
Hiveway for Chambers is $299 a month ($3,588 a year), the same for a chamber of 80 members or 800, with the website, setup and the move off your old system included. If you want one of us doing the work with you every month (your newsletter, your pages, your events), that's $599 a month on top, and never required.
Moving off Glue Up?
We move you ourselves.
At no charge, from an export of Glue Up.
One honest note Hiveway is in its founding season. We're building it now with our first chamber, so it isn't something you can sign up for off the shelf today.
- Your members and their contacts
- Payment history and renewal dates
- Every old directory link, redirected to the member's new page so their rankings come with them
- Your website, rebuilt and hosted as part of the price
Questions, answered plainly.
How much does Glue Up cost?
Its Essential plan is listed at $3,000 to $6,500 a year and Advanced at $8,000 to $18,500 a year, billed annually. Enterprise is custom.
Can I pay for Glue Up monthly?
Its pricing page says all plans are billed annually. Hiveway is billed monthly with no contract.
Does Hiveway take a cut of dues or tickets?
No. Dues and tickets are paid into your chamber's own Stripe account. Stripe charges its normal processing fee; we add nothing on top, ever.
Is Glue Up better for events than Hiveway?
For complex, multi-chapter events, probably. Hiveway's events cover what a chamber runs: member and non-member prices, tables of 8 named later, and QR check-in from a phone.
