MemberClicks alternatives: 10 association management tools compared
Associations look at MemberClicks alternatives when a quoted price and add-on list make budgeting hard, when they want an independent vendor, or when their members and law sit outside North America. Options range from small API-first systems to Salesforce-based platforms and German federation software.
Short answer: Wicket, Novi AMS and Glue Up head the list of MemberClicks alternatives drawn from our association management ranking. Where a category has smaller vendors worth recommending, they occupy the first three places and the big brands come below them. Wicket is the one to try if you want to own the member data and pick your own front end. Every one of the 10 products below comes from Best Association Management Software in 2026, with a note on how it departs from MemberClicks.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Pricing: Published starting prices: MC Professional from $4,500 a year, MC Trade from $3,500; final price quoted
Established in: United States
Built for: Professional bodies tracking certifications and continuing education credits
Not for: Small clubs that only need a member list and dues
01
Why buyers look past MemberClicks
01
Starting prices, then a quote
MemberClicks lists MC Pro from USD 4,500 a year and MC Trade from USD 3,500, and says the final price depends on organisation and functionality needs. Contracts typically run one year, with multi-year terms discounted by an amount the page does not state. Budgeting therefore starts with a sales call.
02
Learning, jobs and apps arrive as add-ons
The pricing page names Registration Tech, CommUnity, Job Board, Classroom, Member App, Data Insights, Smart Newsletter and a Conference App as add-ons, without prices. Professional services packages and an implementation service are also listed unpriced, so the total for a full deployment is not visible in advance.
03
Two product lines and a portfolio owner
MC Pro is for individual members and MC Trade for organisation members, so a body with both kinds must decide which fits. The site brands itself MemberClicks by Momentive, and our category record places it in Momentive Software's portfolio with other membership products, which is a fair procurement question about roadmap focus.

What each one does differently

Wicket
Canada · On request
Wicket, a Canadian vendor, treats the member database as the core and connects the rest by API. It sells its own WordPress and WooCommerce site layer, Wicket Web, and leaves events and learning to products you choose. Pricing is quoted per organisation. Expect integration work and a shorter feature list, so technical help is needed.
Switch from MemberClicks if you want to own the member data and pick your own front end.
Novi AMS links two ways with QuickBooks, so membership records and the accounts reconcile without re-entry, which saves a small office a recurring chore. Pricing is quoted and scaled by annual revenue band. Without QuickBooks the case weakens, the website tools are basic, and European tax handling is absent.
Switch from MemberClicks if your accounts already live in QuickBooks and reconciliation eats your week.
Glue Up publishes ranges: Essential from USD 3,000 to 6,500 a year, Advanced from 8,000 to 18,500, with Enterprise quoted. Registration, payments, check-in and a member app are its strongest parts. Membership and finance are thinner, and multi-chapter, multi-language and multi-currency features sit in the Enterprise tier.
Switch from MemberClicks if events are your main activity and you want printed ranges before a call.
Hivebrite starts at USD 895 a month billed annually, with USD 1,995 for the next tier and unlimited users on every plan. The French company offers EU, Swiss, US or Australian hosting. A directory, groups, mentoring and events lead, while dues and finance are lighter, so complex grades usually keep a separate database beside it.
Switch from MemberClicks if member participation and a choice of hosting region matter more than dues rules.
GrowthZone is quoted per organisation and concentrates on revenue beyond dues: sponsorship packages, advertising and member directories for chambers. Implementation expects staff rather than volunteers. It assumes the operating model of an American chamber throughout, so a professional body running courses and credits finds less there.
Switch from MemberClicks if you run a chamber and earn income from sponsors and advertisers.
SEWOBE publishes pricing by member band: PRO from EUR 59 a month for 500 members to EUR 369 for 10,000, net of VAT, quoted above that. It is written for German federations, with member grades, SEPA dues runs and contribution rules, hosted in Germany. An English interface is included, but the vendor's material is German.
Switch from MemberClicks if you are a German federation and want data kept in Germany.
Fonteva models membership, dues and events inside Salesforce, so the bill is a quote plus Salesforce platform licences. Implementation comes from its own team or certified partners. Togetherwork acquired it in 2021, which makes the roadmap harder to read, so ask which release you would deploy and what the upgrade path is.
Switch from MemberClicks if your staff already know Salesforce reporting and want to reuse it.
Nimble AMS is also built on Salesforce, with quoted pricing plus platform licences. Platform upgrades arrive several times a year without a project, and Salesforce reporting skills carry over. Small changes need a partner unless you employ an administrator. Our category record places it in the same Momentive portfolio as MemberClicks.
Switch from MemberClicks if you want Salesforce under your member data and accept two bills.
netFORUM, sold by Momentive Software, covers membership, dues, events, chapters and committees for mid-sized associations, on a quote. A large installed base means many staff already know it. Education credits and certification come from separate Momentive products. The interface is dated, and the move would stay inside one vendor's portfolio.
Switch from MemberClicks if your association has chapters and a mid-sized staff used to a long-serving system.
Aptify copes with structures that strain other systems: dues split between national and local bodies, employer-deducted contributions and grades that change with a member's job. Pricing is quoted and implementation is long, run by your IT team or professional services. It is heavy for an association on a USD 4,500 starting plan.
Switch from MemberClicks if your membership rules are complex enough to break simpler systems.
You want a choice of EU, Swiss, US or Australian hosting
Hivebrite: Plans start at USD 895 a month billed annually, with unlimited users on every plan.
02
You are a German federation
SEWOBE: Published pricing runs from EUR 59 a month for 500 members to EUR 369 for 10,000, net of VAT, with hosting in Germany.
03
Your accounts live in QuickBooks
Novi AMS: A two-way QuickBooks link removes reconciliation; pricing is quoted by annual revenue band.
04
Events are your main activity
Glue Up: Essential runs USD 3,000 to 6,500 a year and Advanced 8,000 to 18,500, with registration, check-in and an app.
05
You want to choose your own website layer
Wicket: The member database connects by API, and Wicket Web adds a WordPress and WooCommerce layer.
04
When MemberClicks is still the right choice
MemberClicks stays the right choice when the association needs committees, flexible member types, call for papers and an events calendar in one system with a member portal and directory included. The site cites 3,000 plus associations and chambers, and MC Trade adds a relational database for complex organisational structures. If your pain is price, ask for the quote with add-ons itemised before leaving.
05
What moving off MemberClicks involves
01
Get the quote and contract dates in order
Contracts typically run one year, so note the renewal date and notice period before you ask other vendors for offers. Ask each new vendor to itemise implementation, add-ons and payment processing rates, since MemberClicks does not publish those either.
02
Rebuild committees, member types and forms
MC Pro bundles committee management, member types and custom forms, and MC Trade a relational database for organisation members. Export these structures as spreadsheets first and check how the new system models parent organisations, committee terms and renewal rules.
03
Add-on content moves separately
Courses from Classroom, job postings and newsletter lists live in add-ons that may not export in a form the new tool accepts. Ask what you can download, and keep records of education credits or certificates members already hold.
06
Questions about replacing MemberClicks
6 answers
How much does MemberClicks cost?
The pricing page lists MC Pro starting at USD 4,500 a year and MC Trade starting at USD 3,500 a year. It says the final price depends on organisation and functionality needs, and the add-ons carry no published prices.
What are MemberClicks add-ons?
The page names Registration Tech, CommUnity, Job Board, Classroom, Member App, Data Insights, Smart Newsletter and a Conference App. Data Insights is described as an AI-powered reporting add-on for MC Trade.
Which alternatives publish prices?
Glue Up gives ranges, Hivebrite gives monthly starting prices, and SEWOBE lists member-band monthly prices. Wicket, Novi AMS, GrowthZone, Fonteva, Nimble AMS, netFORUM and Aptify are quoted.
Are there Salesforce-based alternatives?
Fonteva and Nimble AMS both model membership inside Salesforce, so the cost is the subscription quote plus Salesforce platform licences, and changes often involve a partner or an administrator.
Which alternatives offer hosting outside the United States?
Hivebrite lists EU, Swiss, US and Australian hosting, and SEWOBE hosts in Germany. Check data processing terms with any vendor, since the operator's country and the data centre are separate questions.
Who owns MemberClicks?
The site presents itself as MemberClicks by Momentive and lists Momentive as a partner brand, without stating ownership. Our category record places it in Momentive Software's portfolio next to Nimble AMS, netFORUM, Aptify and ThreeSixty, so ask the vendor directly.
