Glue Up has the widest feature set on this list for associations and chambers that run many events. The Essential plan, from $3,000 to $6,500 a year, includes membership management, event management, CRM and email, newsletters, and online payments and invoicing. Advanced, from $8,000 to $18,500 a year, adds automation, integrations, deeper reporting and LMS training licenses for five team members. Enterprise adds multi-chapter and multi-location management, multiple languages and currencies, and a dedicated success manager. Power-ups cover chapter management with split payments, CPD and CPE credits with automatic certificates, a private community to replace Slack or Facebook groups, and integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, Outlook, Zoom and Cvent. Recent additions include trial memberships and reward points. The cost is the barrier: all plans are billed yearly, prices vary by organization size, and onboarding typically takes up to 90 days, so it is a platform for staffed organizations rather than volunteer clubs.
