Novi AMS review

Novi AMS was built by people who ran associations, and it shows in its focus on staff time. It combines a membership database, event management that can be configured in over 50 ways, a mobile-friendly website and content management system, ecommerce, task management for member outreach, communication tools and reporting. Its standout is accounting: Novi says it is the only AMS in the QuickBooks Online app store, and its financials are designed around that integration, which removes a common source of double entry for association bookkeepers. An open API and third-party integrations cover other tools. Pricing scales with annual revenue, from organizations under $400K upward, but the figures are not published in a form we could verify, so the price is marked pending. Associations that do not use QuickBooks Online lose much of the reason to choose Novi over WildApricot or MemberClicks.
