  • A nonprofit discount stacking with annual billing.
  • A simple product that is quick to set up.

Where SupaGuild is different

  • No percentage taken on dues or tickets: the plan is the whole price, Stripe’s fee is the only cost per payment.
  • Admission with documents, referees and review stages; governance with quorum and secret ballots; a directory with a map.
  • Unlimited members on Pro, rather than 250 per plan.
  • Offline QR check-in, sponsor packages, campaigns and year-on-year reports.
  • EU hosting and six languages.

Choose Join It if

You are a small association that wants digital membership cards and a very simple paid-membership flow, and a percentage fee on a modest volume is acceptable.

Choose SupaGuild if

Your dues volume makes a percentage fee expensive, you have more than 250 members, or you need admission, governance, a directory and events with check-in.
