What you'd actually pay

The honest math.

Novi prices by your organization's annual revenue and publishes each band. Novi Core, for organizations with up to $400K in revenue, is $829 a month billed annually ($9,948 a year) plus $3,600 onboarding. Novi Prime, $400K to $1M, is $1,285 a month billed annually plus $4,650 onboarding. Larger bands go higher.

A small chamber on Core pays $13,548 in its first year, by Novi's own figures.

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 Novi AMS?

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.

  1. Your members and their contacts
  2. Payment history and renewal dates
  3. Every old directory link, redirected to the member's new page so their rankings come with them
  4. Your website, rebuilt and hosted as part of the price

Questions, answered plainly.

How much does Novi AMS cost for a chamber?

It depends on your annual revenue. Under $400K, Novi Core is $829 a month billed annually plus $3,600 onboarding.

Does Hiveway sync with QuickBooks like Novi?

Not in our first version. If QuickBooks sync is essential to you today, Novi does it well.

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.
