MemberDay vs ClubRunner
The modern ClubRunner alternative
ClubRunner has served Rotary clubs for two decades and integrates deeply with Rotary International reporting. But it charges a setup fee, puts ads on your club site unless you pay to remove them, keeps its payment rates unpublished, and its interface shows its age. Clubs outside the Rotary world — and plenty inside it — want something simpler.
MemberDay is the better fit for…
- Service clubs of any affiliation that want modern, mobile-first software
- Clubs that don’t want ads on their own website — ever, at any price
- Boards that want transparent pricing with no setup fee and no quotes
- Clubs that want AI and a real member app included
ClubRunner may be the better fit for…
- Rotary clubs that need built-in Rotary International reporting integration
- Districts standardized on ClubRunner’s district add-on
- Clubs comfortable with a legacy interface in exchange for Rotary-specific workflows
We'd rather you pick the right tool than the loudest pitch — this comparison names real strengths on both sides.

FAQ
MemberDay vs ClubRunner
Does MemberDay integrate with Rotary International reporting?
No — deep RI integration is ClubRunner’s genuine advantage for Rotary clubs. If automatic RI reporting is a hard requirement, ClubRunner earns that niche. For Kiwanis, Lions, Optimist, veteran, and community clubs — or Rotary clubs that don’t need the integration — MemberDay is simpler and costs less.
Does ClubRunner really put ads on club websites?
Yes — ClubRunner displays ads on club sites on its standard plans and charges roughly $100/year to remove them. MemberDay never puts ads on your site.
How do the prices actually compare?
At 50 members: ClubRunner ~$48/mo plus a $100–$200 one-time setup fee, and ~$100/yr more to remove ads — versus MemberDay at a flat $29/mo (or $319/yr) with no setup fee and no ads. The gap widens as your club grows.

Yes — export your member data from ClubRunner and we’ll migrate it free. Most clubs are fully set up within a week.
