Built for clubs stuck in Facebook Groups
A private club home
that isn’t Facebook.
Move updates, events, dues, and member records out of a noisy social feed and into one organized place your club actually controls. From CA$5/month.
Good fit for clubs that currently live in Facebook, email, and a spreadsheet.

What Facebook cannot do
A feed is not a club operating system
Facebook Groups are easy to start and hard to outgrow cleanly. The problem is not conversation. The problem is structure.
What Facebook breaks
- ✓Important updates disappear in the feed and members miss time-sensitive information.
- ✓Dues, renewals, event RSVPs, and approvals all have to live somewhere else.
- ✓Your club depends on a platform you do not control and a public-social context you did not choose.
What Club Lounge replaces it with
- ✓Member-only discussions that stay organized and easy to revisit.
- ✓Events, renewals, payment status, and member records tied together in one place.
- ✓A private URL and a club-owned system that feels like your organization, not someone else’s feed.
If your club only wants casual chatter, Facebook may be enough. If you need real membership operations, it is not.
Your own address
Every club gets
its own URL.
Your members land on your own subdomain from day one — no shared URLs, no generic links. Upgrade to a fully custom domain like lounge.yourclub.com and your brand is front and center.
- ✓Free subdomain on every plan
- ✓Custom domain on Core and above
- ✓HTTPS provisioned automatically
- ✓No DNS expertise required

FAQ
Common questions
- How much does Club Lounge cost?
- Plans start at CA$5/month for clubs of up to 50 members. Core is CA$29/month and includes 200 active members, then CA$0.15 per additional active member per month. Growth is CA$79/month and includes 500 active members, then CA$0.05 per additional active member per month.
- How long does it take to set up?
- Most clubs are live in under 10 minutes. Create your lounge, set your membership fees, connect Stripe, and share your join link. Member data can be imported manually via the admin panel.
- Do members get a URL that's actually ours?
- Every club gets its own subdomain (yourclub.clublounge.app). Core plan and above support a fully custom domain like lounge.yourclub.com — your DNS, your brand.
- How does dues collection work?
- Club Lounge uses Stripe for dues collection. Set monthly or annual dues for each membership level and members pay directly. Automatic renewals, instant payment records, and a real-time view of who has paid all live in your admin tools. Stripe processing fees apply, plus a 2% ClubLounge platform fee on dues payments.
- Is Club Lounge really a Facebook Groups alternative?
- Yes, for clubs that need structured updates, member-only discussions, approvals, events, and dues. Club Lounge is not a social feed replacement for the public internet — it is a private operating system for real member organizations.
- What types of clubs use Club Lounge?
- Flying clubs, yacht clubs, cycling clubs, golf clubs, rowing clubs, photography societies, professional association chapters, and alumni associations. Any club that needs a private community home.
- Why not just keep using Facebook Groups?
- Because posts disappear in the feed, member records live elsewhere, dues are not tied to access, and your club depends on a platform you do not control. Club Lounge keeps communication, renewals, events, and member status in one private system.
- Can members still talk casually here?
- Yes. Club Lounge is not a public social network, but it does support member-only discussions, updates, replies, and event conversations in a format that stays organized instead of getting buried.
Your club has been running on duct tape long enough.
Posts stay organized, approvals stay clear, and your club stops depending on a feed you do not control.
No card required to create your lounge.
