fellos vs MemberClicks: for lodges and posts, not conference associations
MemberClicks is built for professional associations and the conferences they run. If you are a lodge, a post, or a riding chapter, the fit questions are different: does it model your chapter tree, will it route an approval through your officers, and can members actually talk to each other inside it. This comparison is deliberately qualitative — MemberClicks does not give us a public pricing page to quote from, so we do not put a number in their column.
Side by side
fellos and MemberClicks, row by row
The dimensions that decide it for a club with structure: hierarchy, approvals, community, check-in, fees, and what shows up on the invoice.
| Feature | fellos | MemberClicks |
|---|---|---|
| Chapters and org hierarchy | A real tree — club, region, chapter — with a visual org chart and chain of command as first-class concepts. | Basic chapter support, but no real hierarchy modelling. |
| Member lifecycles and approval workflows | Configurable member types with multi-step approval chains for onboarding, type changes, transfers, and deactivation. | Basic segmentation. No multi-step approval workflows. |
| Community feed and discussions | Groups, threaded posts, reactions, an activity feed, and permission-based moderation — in the same place as the roster. | No built-in community features. |
| Permissions and audit trail | Three admin tiers, field-level permissions, visibility scopes, and an audit log of every action. | Basic role management. No comprehensive audit trail. |
| Event ticketing and QR check-in | Paid registrations, guest seats, and a QR code per party that gets scanned at the door from a phone. | Event management is included, but it is aimed at professional conferences. |
| Interface on a phone | Mobile-first. Installs to the phone like an app — no app store, no download. | Dated interface, and implementation is measured in months. |
| Transaction fees | 0% on dues, event tickets, and store sales. Your Stripe account, Stripe’s standard processing fees, nothing on top from us. | We have no public figure we can point you at, so we are not going to state one. |
| What you are billed for | Active members only — people who can sign in today. Retired, deactivated, and historical records stay in your files and cost nothing. | Not published anywhere we can link to. Ask them what a record costs you once it goes inactive. |
| Getting started | Self-serve. A site is up in about five minutes, and the free tier covers up to 20 active members for good. | Implementation is measured in months. |

Switching
Switching from MemberClicks?
Here is the honest version. fellos is self-serve, so a site is up in about five minutes — no implementation project, no kickoff call. The free tier — up to 20 active members — lets you build your chapter tree, member types, and approval chains alongside MemberClicks and see whether it holds your structure before you move a single officer. And because we only bill for members who can sign in, everyone still sitting in MemberClicks costs you nothing here while you decide. What we do not have is a one-click importer, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
