The short version: Hiveway for Chambers is $299 a month, flat, month to month. (ChamberMaster starts at $3,900 a year, before a website) About Hiveway for Chambers

MemberClicks is a serious association platform, and its MC Trade edition is built for organizations whose members are companies, which is what a chamber is. It has a website builder, a directory, dues, events, email automation and committee tools. The questions a chamber director runs into are the price that starts at a floor and goes up from there, and a contract that usually runs a year.

What you'd actually pay

The honest math.

MemberClicks publishes starting prices: MC Trade from $3,500 a year, and MC Pro, for associations of individuals, from $4,500 a year. It says pricing depends on your organization and the features you need, and add-ons such as Smart Newsletter, the member app and the job board have no published price.

Its pricing page says typical contracts are for one year, with discounts for multi-year terms.

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 MemberClicks?
