# GrowthZone pricing, explained.

> GrowthZone pricing explained: the $3,900 starting subscription, the add-ons quoted separately, and a realistic first year for a chamber.

[Compare](https://hiveway.org/compare) · Pricing, explained

GrowthZone sells three association management systems (ChamberMaster for chambers, GrowthZone AMS for membership organizations, and MemberSuite for larger associations) plus a row of add-ons. None of them has a price on GrowthZone's pricing page; each one asks for a demo or a custom quote.

Pricing, explained · Checked October 2026 · 8 sources

GrowthZone does state one number itself, on its blog: "Subscriptions start at $3,900 annually." Everything below builds out from there, with each source named.

## What each line costs.

1. ChamberMaster · Quote only; listed from $3,900 a year · GrowthZone's chamber edition: members, the directory, dues, events and email.
2. GrowthZone AMS · Quote only; GrowthZone says from $3,900 a year · For membership-based organizations, with built-in marketing automation and a sales funnel tool.
3. MemberSuite AMS · Quote only · For mid to upper market associations; GrowthZone says its modules come without additional licensing fees.
4. GZ CMS (website) · Quote only · A drag-and-drop website editor with templates.
5. GZ Pay (payments) · Rates not published · Integrated payments for dues, tickets and sponsors, matched to invoices.
6. GZ Community, GZ Learn, AI Newsletters · Quote only · An online community, a learning platform, and newsletters powered by rasa.io.
7. Onboarding · Quote only; rivals estimate $1,000 to $1,500 · Setup and training; the estimate comes from WildApricot and MembershipWorks, both rival vendors.

## What it comes to.

A 150-member chamber, year one (estimate)

Subscription from $3,900 (GrowthZone's own figure) + onboarding about $1,000 to $1,500 (rival vendors' estimate) = about $4,900 to $5,400 with your existing website. Add GZ CMS or a new design (a rival claims $3,500) and AI Newsletters by quote: plausibly $8,000 or more.

A 450-member chamber, year one (estimate)

Not published. GrowthZone's buyer's workbook tells chambers to ask about per-user charges and per-member surcharges, so a larger chamber should expect a quote at or above the 150-member figure, before add-ons.

Hiveway, either size

Hiveway for Chambers, for comparison: $299 a month, $3,588 a year, at any size. The website, setup and the move off your old system are included; there's no setup fee and no contract. One of us doing the work with you is $599 a month on top, if you want it.

## What to watch for.

GrowthZone is a full-featured platform with a lot of depth, and the base subscription is in line with the market. What adds up is the menu: website, payments, newsletters, community and learning are each their own quote, on top of onboarding.

If your chamber uses a few of those things every week, Hiveway for Chambers is $299 a month with the website included and no contract.

- The $3,900 is a starting subscription. The website (GZ CMS), payments (GZ Pay), AI Newsletters, Community and Learn are separate.
- Onboarding is quoted separately.
- A rival vendor claims GrowthZone charges more if you use a payment gateway other than GZ Pay. Ask GrowthZone directly.
- Ask for a written proposal covering per-user, per-member and per-transaction charges, the questions GrowthZone's own buyer's workbook recommends.

**The short version:** Hiveway for Chambers is $299 a month, flat, month to month. (ChamberMaster starts at $3,900 a year, before a website) It's in its founding season: we're building it now with our first chamber.
