The best WildApricot alternatives.
WildApricot is where a lot of small chambers start, and for good reason: it's published, inexpensive and has a free trial. Chambers tend to outgrow it in two ways. The contact count climbs faster than membership, and the software isn't built around businesses, tiers and a directory that sells membership.
Why chambers outgrow WildApricot.
Here are seven alternatives with their real prices and catches, including one we make.
- You pay by contacts, and a chamber has several per member.
- Past 500 contacts the next step is 2,000, from $154 to $265 a month.
- A 20% fee is added to your plan if you take payments through Stripe, PayPal or Authorize.net.
- It's built for every kind of membership group, so chamber specifics are set up by hand.
- Your staff build and keep up the website themselves.
The alternatives, honestly compared
Seven options, and the catch with each.
Hiveway for Chambers We make this one
$299 a month, flat, any size
- Best for
- Small and mid-size chambers that want the essentials, a website built and hosted for them, and no contract.
- The catch
- New and in its founding season, version one only. No QuickBooks sync, committees or phone support yet, and you apply rather than sign up.
- Verdict
- The only option here with one published flat price that includes the website and the move. Every member gets a real page AI can read; dues go to your own Stripe with no cut.
MembershipWorks
Free to 50 accounts; $35/month to 300
- Best for
- Small chambers with a good website they already keep up.
- The catch
- No website in the price: it plugs into the one you have, and you run it.
- Verdict
- The cheapest honest option here, with free phone support. You bring the site.
Chamber Nation
$135/month to 100 members; $250 at 200; $420 at 400
- Best for
- Chambers that want member profiles built for them at launch.
- The catch
- One-time setup from $1,250 to $3,125 for most chambers, a $25/month website hosting fee, and a price that grows with membership.
- Verdict
- Published prices and month to month, which is rare. The bill climbs as you grow.
ChamberDesk
From $258/month (300 member profiles)
- Best for
- Chambers that sell banner ads and want SMS built in.
- The catch
- A required $2,495 training fee, data conversion from $2,495, and website design from $4,599.
- Verdict
- A fair chamber-shaped package with heavy up-front fees.
MemberClicks (MC Trade)
From $3,500/year
- Best for
- Chambers and trade associations that want committees, an online store and sales tools.
- The catch
- Typical contracts run a year; add-ons such as Smart Newsletter and the member app are priced separately.
- Verdict
- Broad and capable, at the higher end, on annual terms.
ChamberMaster
Quote only; listed from $3,900/year
- Best for
- Established chambers that want the category default.
- The catch
- Onboarding, the website and payments (GZ Pay) are quoted separately.
- Verdict
- Mature and complete. Get every line of the quote in writing.
Glue Up
$3,000 to $6,500/year (Essential)
- Best for
- Event-heavy, multi-chapter or multi-language organizations.
- The catch
- Every plan is billed annually; the website is a power-up without a published price.
- Verdict
- Strong at events and scale. More than a one-town chamber usually needs.
