MemberPlanet vs. Join It

A leaner alternative to MemberPlanet

MemberPlanet offers a robust, all-in-one membership and communications platform—but complex pricing tiers, platform fees, and layered admin tools can weigh you down. Join It gives you the core features you need, without hidden costs, confusing tiers, or bulky system overhead.

Clean, modern interface

Transparent pricing

Integrates with the tools you already use

Here’s what happens when MemberPlanet users switch to Join It

Before (with MemberPlanet)
Feature-rich platform with a steeper learning curve—it handles events, payments, surveys, texts, directories, dashboards, multi-chapter structure, and fundraising campaigns
Pricing starts at $50/month with a 2% platform fee (Essentials), scaling to $100/month (1% fee) and $175/month (1% fee)—plus a $0 processing fee of 3% + $0.30 per payment
One-size-fits-all approach—offers mobile apps, group texts, campaign emails, directories, member dashboards—but often includes unused modules for smaller teams
Admin experience can be clunky for newer users; onboarding depends on targeted needs and can involve complex configuration
After (with Join It)
Clean, intuitive design built for speed and clarity.
Transparent plans starting at $29/month—no platform fees or percent charges.
Integrates cleanly with Eventbrite, Mailchimp, Stripe, and Zapier—no developer needed.
Core membership-focused features like digital cards, member timelines, automated reminders, self-service dashboards, and flexible payments.
Rapid, self-serve setup—no heavy docs, no chapters to configure.
