fellos vs MemberClicks: for lodges and posts, not conference associations

MemberClicks is built for professional associations and the conferences they run, and it is priced for them — their own page now starts at $4,500 a year. If you are a lodge, a post, or a riding chapter, the fit questions are different: does it model your chapter tree, will it route an approval through your officers, and what happens after an election. Where they publish a figure we quote it; where they do not, we say so rather than invent one.

Side by side

fellos and MemberClicks, row by row

The dimensions that decide it for a club with structure: hierarchy, approvals, community, check-in, fees, and what shows up on the invoice.

Feature	fellos	MemberClicks
Chapters and org hierarchy	A real tree — club, region, chapter — with a visual org chart and chain of command as first-class concepts.	Basic chapter support, but no real hierarchy modelling.
Member lifecycles and approval workflows	Configurable member types with multi-step approval chains for onboarding, type changes, transfers, and deactivation.	Basic segmentation. No multi-step approval workflows.
Officer elections	Nominations, optional seconding, campaign platforms, candidate Q&A, and a standard or ranked ballot. Certifying the result places the winners into their officer roles and ends the outgoing terms — it lands in Officer Position History and the audit log.	Their one public artefact on elections is a video walkthrough for building survey, donation and election or ballot forms. Nothing public establishes one vote per member, forced anonymity or a close date for one, and their separate Polls tool documents a re-vote delay instead. Nothing public links a result to an officer position — and ElectionBuddy, a third-party election service, lists MemberClicks as an integration.
Community feed and discussions	Groups, threaded posts, reactions, an activity feed, and permission-based moderation — in the same place as the roster.	Community forums, a social community, e-lists and polls are included; their richer CommUnity product is an add-on.
Permissions and audit trail	Three admin tiers, field-level permissions, visibility scopes, and an audit log of every action.	Basic role management. No comprehensive audit trail.
Event ticketing and check-in	Paid registrations, guest seats, and one QR per party that gets scanned at the door from a phone.	Event management is included, but aimed at professional conferences — and QR check-in lives only in their Member App, a separately purchased add-on built with a partner. No published price for it.
Wallet passes	The ticket saves straight to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet from the ticket page, alongside the QR your door staff scan.	None in either product line. The membership card their docs describe is a printable block.
Officer roles and transitions	Officer roles, terms, and a recorded handover — and an election that certifies straight into them.	Committee management is documented. Officer positions with terms, successors and a recorded handover are not, in either help centre.
Transaction fees	0% on dues, event tickets, and store sales. Your own Stripe account, Stripe’s standard processing fees, and nothing on top from us — including nothing for bringing your own processor.	We have no public figure we can point you at, so we are not going to state one.
What you are billed for	Active members only — people who can sign in today. Retired, deactivated, and historical records stay in your files, stay reachable, and cost nothing.	Not published. Their pricing page gives annual starting floors and says pricing depends on your organization. Ask them what a record costs you once it goes inactive.
Getting started	Self-serve. A site is up in about five minutes, and the free tier covers up to 20 active members for good.	No self-serve path — a sales sequence ending in implementation with a dedicated specialist.

Switching

Switching from MemberClicks?

Here is the honest version. fellos is self-serve, so a site is up in about five minutes — no implementation project, no kickoff call. The free tier — up to 20 active members — lets you build your chapter tree, member types, and approval chains alongside MemberClicks and see whether it holds your structure before you move a single officer. And because we only bill for members who can sign in, everyone still sitting in MemberClicks costs you nothing here while you decide. What we do not have is a one-click importer, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

The numbers

What each one costs, and what each one counts

This is the one comparison where we are plainly the cheaper platform. MemberClicks publishes a starting floor rather than a price: MC Professional from $4,500 a year, MC Trade from $3,500, with the page itself noting that what you pay depends on your organization. fellos Club is $1,188 a year for up to 300 active members — so their floor for an individual-member organization is roughly four times our price, and a floor is the least it can cost rather than the quote you will be given. What they do not publish is anything you could hold them to: no per-member rate, no monthly figure, no transaction-fee figure, and nothing about what a member record costs once it goes inactive. fellos publishes every number — free up to 20 active members, $39/mo up to 100, $99/mo up to 300, $199/mo up to 1,000, 0% transaction fees on all of them, no setup fee. Get their quote and hold it next to ours.
