GrowthZone vs MemberClicks
GrowthZone and MemberClicks are the two full association platforms chambers most often shortlist. Both serve organizations whose members are businesses, both start in the mid thousands a year, and both grow with add-ons.
Option AChoose GrowthZone if
You want marketing automation and a sales funnel, or the chamber-specific ChamberMaster edition.
- You want the chamber-specific ChamberMaster from the same vendor as an option.
- Automation and a sales funnel matter more than a bundled website.
Option BChoose MemberClicks if
You want a website builder in the base product, committee and sales tools, and a published starting price.
- You want the website builder included rather than added.
- You want committee management, an online store and granular admin permissions.
The real differences are in what's bundled and what's sold separately.

The third option
If what you want is a price you can read.
Both are big platforms with annual terms and add-ons. If your staff use a handful of things every week, there's a smaller option.
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.
