Looking for a Membee Alternative?

Membee offers a wide range of features servicing nonprofits and associations alike. However, if you feel Membee is no longer the best fit for your organization’s needs, MembershipWorks is a user-friendly, flexible, and affordable membership software alternative. Just starting your search on switching to the best membership software for you? Check out our guide here.

Why MembershipWorks is better than Membee

  1. Cost-effective pricing plans. MembershipWorks pricing plans are based on the number of accounts that you would like to store in the system and the paid plans start at only $35/month. This can be invaluable for new nonprofits and associations with a limited budget as the cost for your membership software would only grow if your organization grows. With MembershipWorks, there are no contracts and you are allowed to upgrade and downgrade between plans at any time. Membee offers only two plans: Membee for $109/month and Membee Complete for $209/month.
  2. Free Personal Screen Share Training. In addition to responsive live phone and email support, all MembershipWorks customers can request free screen share training sessions with a software support specialist. These sessions can be one-on-one or you can invite your staff for a group discussion. For organizations with annual turnover, this level of personal support is key when onboarding new employees, volunteers, or board members.
  3. Multiple Admins Included. All MembershipWorks customers on paid plans are able to create as many secondary admins as needed. The primary admin is also able to easily control the permissions of each secondary admin. A Membee plan includes just one admin seat, multiple admins come at a cost of $89/month per additional admin.
  4. Set your own implementation schedule. As a self-service software, new MembershipWorks customers have full control of their setup and launch schedule. Every organization’s budget, resources, and needs are unique. While some groups could have MembershipWorks up and running on their website within a week, others may instead decide to launch features slowly over the course of a year. Membee has a 90 day expected implementation period, which while helpful for some groups, can also be an unnecessary guardrail for others.
  5. Add a board feature onto your existing site. For organizations looking to foster community building between their members, MembershipWorks offers a versatile board feature that can be used to create job boards, announcements boards, or even a classifieds ads board. Membee only offers similar board features if you are using their proprietary website builder.
