MemberDay vs Join It
The Join It alternative with zero transaction fees
Join It is a clean, modern membership tool with a matching $29 entry price. The difference is what happens when your club collects money: Join It takes 1.5–3% of every transaction on top of card fees, has no native mobile app, and leans on integrations for events, email, and websites. MemberDay includes those pieces — and takes $0 of your payments.
MemberDay is the better fit for…
- Clubs that collect dues and event payments and want to keep 100%
- Clubs that want events, email, committees, files, and tasks built in — not via integrations
- Members who expect a real mobile app
- Clubs that want a platform partner focused on clubs specifically
Join It may be the better fit for…
- Simple membership-card use cases (gyms, museums, alumni lists)
- Organizations that live in Zapier/Mailchimp and want a thin membership layer
- Groups that don’t collect much money through the platform
We'd rather you pick the right tool than the loudest pitch — this comparison names real strengths on both sides.

FAQ
MemberDay vs Join It
Join It is also $29/month — what’s the real difference?
The transaction fee. Join It adds 1.5–3% to every payment your club collects (on top of normal card fees). A club processing $10,000 a year hands over $150–$300 annually — often more than the subscription itself. MemberDay adds 0%: you connect your own Stripe account and keep everything.
Does Join It have a mobile app?
Join It has no native member mobile app — members use the mobile web. MemberDay includes real iOS and Android apps for every member at no extra cost.
What does Join It do better?
It’s a genuinely clean product with polished digital membership cards and a wide integration catalog. If you mostly need a membership database that talks to other tools, it’s reasonable — our case is the all-in-one club feature set and zero payment markup.
Can you migrate our Join It data?
Yes — export your members from Join It and our team will import your roster free, usually within a week.
