Frequently Asked Questions about Novi AMS vs Join It

What is the best Novi AMS alternative if I do not need a QuickBooks-centric association system?

Join It is a strong Novi AMS alternative for organizations that want simpler membership management without centering the entire membership system around a QuickBooks-native AMS workflow.

Expand Answer

Novi AMS can be a good fit for associations that want an AMS tightly connected to QuickBooks and association operations. Join It is better suited to teams that want a flexible membership platform for records, dues, renewals, events, digital cards, member portals, and integrations. Since 2016, more than 4,000 organizations have used Join It to manage over $100M in membership payments, and Capterra rates Join It 4.7 overall, including 4.9 for customer service. If your organization wants membership management first and accounting connection second, Join It may be the more practical fit.

How does Join It compare to Novi AMS for associations that want flexible workflows?

Novi AMS is built around a QuickBooks-centered association management model, while Join It focuses on flexible membership workflows and integrations across the tools an organization already uses.

Expand Answer

A QuickBooks-centric AMS can be valuable when accounting structure drives the membership process. But many organizations want a simpler system for member records, online signups, renewals, event registration, digital cards, and communication workflows, with accounting as one connected tool rather than the center of the system. Join It keeps membership data central while integrating with payments, email, events, spreadsheets, automation, and other business systems.

Can I migrate from Novi AMS to Join It?

Yes. Organizations can migrate from Novi AMS to Join It by exporting membership data and importing the records into Join It’s member database, with bulk import included for free on every Join It plan.

Expand Answer

A Novi AMS migration should separate membership operations from accounting-specific structure. Start with member records, membership types, statuses, renewal dates, custom fields, and payment-related history where available. Join It can import those records, configure membership types and renewals, and connect membership workflows to the tools your team uses for payments, email, events, and reporting. This gives your team a more membership-first operating model.
