Why fellos
Your club deserves better than a spreadsheet and a prayer.
Most membership tools were built for flat mailing lists. If your organization has structure, governance, and culture — you've been underserved. Until now.

Full head-to-head
Built this decade
Both incumbents have been around 20+ years and look it. fellos is mobile-first, installs to your phone like a native app, and doesn't require a manual.
Charged for active members, not history
A 200-active-member club pays $99/mo on fellos. ClubExpress and Wild Apricot bill on every record you've ever had — including retirees, deactivated accounts, and historical members — so the bill keeps climbing as your roster grows. We only count members who can actually sign in today.
All features, every plan
Email, custom fields, mobile, audit log, store, and multi-chapter support are on every paid tier — no nickel-and-diming add-ons that mid-market platforms quietly add to your bill.
Premium, for serious clubs
We don't position as cheap — we position as the upgrade path for clubs whose ClubExpress UI has started to hurt. Modern, opinionated, and built for organizations that take governance seriously.
