Why clubs switch

What changes when you move off ClubExpress

💳
Clear monthly pricing
Core is US$69/month with 200 active members included, then US$0.15 per additional active member / month. Club includes all features and 500 members for US$89/month.
⚡
No setup fee
ClubExpress charges a one-time setup fee on top of monthly billing. ClubLounge has none — your lounge is live before you finish your coffee.
📝
Clean application workflow
Custom fields, admin review queue, and automatic dues on approval — without the ClubExpress configuration complexity.
💬
Private discussions built in
Threaded conversations your members actually use. Not forum software bolted onto a membership admin tool.
🔗
Stripe-native payments
Dues go directly to your Stripe account. No merchant account setup, no ClubExpress payment processor, no extra hoops.
🎨
Modern member experience
Your members see a clean, mobile-friendly portal — not a legacy interface from a different decade of web design.
