## The answer, as recorded

> # Best membership management software for nonprofits
> 
> There's no single winner - the right pick depends mostly on whether membership *is* your organization (dues, renewals, member directory) or membership is one program alongside fundraising. Here's how I'd rank them:
> 
> **1. Wild Apricot** - the default recommendation for small-to-midsize membership nonprofits, clubs, and associations. It does the core job well: member database, automated renewal reminders, dues collection, event registration, member-only website pages, and a self-service portal. Pricing is contact-based, starting around $60-66/month for ~100 contacts and climbing steeply to $900+/month at 50,000 contacts. Weakness: fundraising and automation are thin - workflow automation requires a Make integration rather than being native.

> 
> **2. Neon CRM (Neon One)** - pick this if you have both members and donors and don't want two systems. It's a real fundraising CRM with membership built on top, so a member who also gives shows up as one record with one history. Starts at $9
