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.

## Twelve things, checked.

| What | Glue Up | Hiveway |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Price | Essential $3,000 to $6,500 a year; Advanced $8,000 to $18,500 a year; Enterprise custom | $299 a month, flat, for every chamber of any size |
| Contract | "All plans are billed annually" | Month to month. No annual contract, no setup fee |
| Setup fee | Not published; onboarding is described without a price | None. Setup is included |
| Website | Website Solution is a separately listed power-up; price not published | Included: a WordPress website we build and host, with a page for every member |
| Payment processing | Online payments and invoicing included; processing fees not published | Dues and tickets paid into your own Stripe account. We take no cut, ever |
| Dues invoicing, including checks | Online payments and invoicing for memberships | Card, ACH, or an invoice paid by check and marked paid; reminders, grace and lapse handled for you |
| Directory and AI-readable pages | Member directory within the platform | Every member is a real page on your own domain that search engines and AI can read |
| Events and tickets | Event management, a strength; Advanced adds automation and reporting | Member and non-member prices, tables of 8 named later, QR check-in from a phone |
| Email and newsletter | CRM, email communications and newsletters included | Drafted from what's happening at your chamber, sent from your own domain |
| Moving off your old system | Personalized onboarding, price not published | We move you off your old system ourselves, and redirect every old directory link |
| Support | A dedicated success manager on Enterprise; not detailed for other plans | Email, answered by Jeff or Amara, who built it |
| Company | Glue Up; its plans cover multi-chapter, multi-language and multi-currency organizations | Independent, no investors, the builders answer your email |

## 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.

## 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.

## 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.
