*Setup Fee: eMembership requires a professional onboarding fee to ensure the platform is properly configured to meet your organisation's specific needs. This includes subscription management setup, CRM customisation, member security configuration, branding implementation, and custom portal setup. There's no such thing as "off the shelf" if it's going to work efficiently for your members and meet your long-term needs.
Why eMembership's integrated approach wins over multi-platform solutions
Everything built into one platform: payments, communications, events, shop, and security. No need for separate Stripe, Mailchimp, Eventbrite, or Shopify integrations.
One simple per-member price (£0.20-£1.00) with no hidden integration costs. Platform-based solutions require Dynamics 365/Salesforce licensing plus custom development fees.
Native AI-powered member support and admin assistance included. Competitors require third-party chatbot integrations at extra cost.
ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified with one security perimeter to protect. Multi-platform solutions create multiple attack surfaces and compliance headaches.
All member data in one place with real-time reporting. No data synchronisation issues between payment processors, email platforms, and CRM systems.
Live in 2-4 weeks vs 3-6 months for platform-based solutions. No custom development, complex integrations, or consultant fees required.
Save £1,500-£6,500/month compared to juggling multiple SaaS subscriptions. See exactly how much on our Why Us? page.
Most organisations spend £1,500-£6,500/month juggling 8+ separate tools (Mailchimp, Stripe, Eventbrite, Shopify, WordPress, CRM, and more). eMembership replaces them all with a single, integrated solution.
