# The best WildApricot alternatives.

> Seven WildApricot alternatives for chambers of commerce: who prices by member or contact, who adds payment fees, and who builds your website.

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

## Seven options, and the catch with each.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
