Nimble AMS vs Join It: how to choose
The short answer: Nimble AMS suits mid-sized and large associations that want to run everything on Salesforce and have staff to administer it. Join It suits small teams that want simple all-in-one membership software (membership, payments, events, member emails and a member portal) without a Salesforce implementation. Nimble doesn't publish pricing; as of September 2026, review sites list around $160 per staff user per month plus a partner-led implementation. Join It suits small associations, chapters and clubs that want a simple all-in-one for membership, renewals, payments, events and member emails that works alongside their existing website, with plans from $29 a month, month to month, and a 30-day free trial with no credit card. Join It integrates with Salesforce via Zapier.
What is Nimble AMS built for?
Nimble AMS runs natively on Salesforce and is part of Momentive Software. It serves trade and professional associations that need breadth: individual and organizational memberships, events and trade shows, an online community, a learning platform, ecommerce and accounts receivable, a chapter portal and AI-driven retention insights. Because it runs natively on Salesforce, a team that knows the platform can customize it with Salesforce tools and AppExchange apps.
How much does Nimble AMS cost?
Nimble AMS doesn't publish pricing; as of September 2026, review sites list around $160 per staff user per month, plus a partner-led implementation. To get a price, you request a customized proposal from Nimble. There's no free trial.
Join It publishes all of its pricing. Plans start at $29 a month on Starter (3% platform fee). Total, at $99 a month (2%), adds digital membership cards, member check-in, a member directory and API access, and Extra, at $199 a month (1.5%), adds custom domains and a dedicated account manager. Plans are month to month, there is a free 30-day trial, Stripe's processing fees apply, and there are no setup fees. Annual billing saves 10%, and nonprofits get an additional 10% off. See full pricing.
For a small team, Nimble AMS usually costs more than Join It: five staff users at around $160 each come to about $9,600 a year before implementation, while Join It starts at $29 a month with no setup fees.
Is Nimble AMS too big for a small association?
Often, yes: Nimble AMS is designed for mid-sized and large associations with staff who know Salesforce, and Join It is usually the better fit for a small association, particularly if:
- You're a small team without a Salesforce administrator. Nimble is built to be run and extended by people who know Salesforce. Join It is designed for small teams to set up themselves.
- You already use Salesforce and want to keep it. Join It integrates with Salesforce through Zapier on every plan. When a membership is created, renewed, updated or lapses, the change flows into Salesforce, so your CRM stays current without rebuilding your association on it. Join It also integrates directly with the tools associations use most, such as Mailchimp, Eventbrite and QuickBooks, plus thousands more through Zapier on every plan.
- You want to be live in days, not after an implementation project run with a partner.
- You'd rather not pay per staff user. Review sites list Nimble at around $160 per staff user per month. Join It publishes its prices, starting at $29 a month.
- You want to try it first. Nimble has no free trial. Join It offers a 30-day free trial, no credit card needed.
When is Nimble AMS better than Join It?
Nimble AMS may be a better fit than Join It if:
- You want to run your whole association on Salesforce and have people to manage it. Join It sends membership data to Salesforce one way; Nimble runs inside it.
- You need an online community, learning platform, trade shows and finance in one system.
Questions to ask before you choose
- How many of our staff need a user license, and what will that cost each year?
- Who will run implementation, and how long will it take?
- Do we have someone who can administer Salesforce?
- Which features will we use in the first year?
Join It is trusted by more than 4,000 membership organizations in 40 countries and has processed over $100 million in membership payments since 2016.
