Pricing Based on Your Team Size, Not Your Membership Size.

Pricing is based on your team size, not how many members you serve.

Your cost depends on:

1. Plan type: Core Platform or Pro Platform.
2. Team size: Number of staff users.
   Special pricing for 5+ users — save over $3,000/year.

Annual plan pricing

• 1–2 users: From $99/month per user (Core) or $224/month per user (Pro), billed monthly.
• 5+ users: From $2,935/year (Core) or $4,435/year (Pro), billed annually.

One-time setup fee

$1,500 — Includes 15 hours of onboarding support (training + implementation), guided wizards, and standard data migration.

Optional one-time services

• Email Deliverability (DKIM): $250 — helps emails land in inboxes, not spam.
• Single Sign-On (SSO) setup: $250 per platform — connects your i4a login to other systems (OAuth 2.0).

What doesn't change your price

Number of members, number of contacts, email volume, event registrations, or transaction volume. You can grow without paying more for the software.

Optional add-on subscriptions

• Premium Support: $150/month
• AI Tools (i4AI Studio): Seat-based pricing + usage fees
• Abstract & Paper Submission Management: Custom pricing
• TLS/SSL Certificate Management: $150/site/year — automated provisioning, renewal, and monitoring

Association management software costs range from $50/month for basic platforms to $2,000+/month for enterprise solutions. Typical ranges:

• Entry-level: $50–$150/month
• Mid-market: $200–$500/month
• Enterprise: $500–$2,000+/month

The pricing model matters as much as the price. Per-member pricing means costs increase as you grow. Flat-rate pricing (like i4a's) is the most transparent membership software pricing model and keeps costs predictable regardless of membership size.

i4a's pricing is flat-rate based on staff users, not members: starting at $99/month per user with unlimited members at every tier. See full plan details →

A staff user is anyone on your team who logs in to manage your platform. This includes:

• Membership manager or director
• Event coordinator
• Chapter administrator
• Marketing or communications staff
• Executive director or office manager
• Anyone who needs access to update member records, create events, send emails, or manage your website

Your members do NOT count as staff users. Members use the self-service portal to update profiles, register for events, and renew memberships. No staff login needed.

There's a one-time $1,500 setup fee that covers everything you need to launch successfully:

• 15 hours of onboarding support — personalized training and implementation guidance
• Data import wizard & video tutorials — step-by-step tools to import your member data from Excel/CSV or common platforms
• Guided setup checklist — step-by-step roadmap to configure your platform and go live
• Training sessions — hands-on instruction for your team

How we compare: Setup and implementation are usually quoted separately from subscription, and many platforms bill data migration and training on top. Ask any vendor for a total first-year figure, not a monthly rate. Our streamlined process gets you live in 60-90 days.

Custom data migrations: Coming off a custom database or legacy system, or bringing years of history across, is more work than a standard import, and we can do that work for you at our hourly rate. We'll scope it during your demo and quote it upfront.

We require annual contracts, which provides our best pricing. Contracts renew annually. You can cancel at the end of any contract year. We earn your business every year by delivering value.

Our pricing is already designed to be affordable for associations and non-profits—that's our entire customer base. Unlike competitors who charge per-member fees that punish growth, our flat-rate pricing means you pay the same whether you have 500 or 50,000 members.

For organizations with 5+ staff users, our annual plans offer significant savings (over $3,000/year compared to individual seat pricing). This is the best discount we offer and is available to all organizations.

We don't offer additional non-profit discounts beyond our standard pricing because our rates are already structured to serve mission-driven organizations affordably. Many competitors advertise "non-profit discounts" on top of inflated base prices—we'd rather just give you fair pricing from the start.

Many associations do this to avoid per-contact fees: keep only active members in their AMS, and use MailChimp® or Constant Contact® for lapsed members and prospects. This seems cheaper but creates expensive problems:

• Manual data syncing: 5-10 hours/week copying new members, updates, and lapses between systems
• Fragmented records: Member status in one system, email engagement in another—you can't see the full picture
• Can't email lapsed members from your AMS: They're not in there anymore, so you can't send win-back campaigns using membership data
• Double the platforms: Pay for both your AMS and MailChimp®/Constant Contact® (which also charges per-contact)
• Data sync errors: Members update their info in the portal, but it doesn't flow to your email platform
• Total cost: $7,800-$18,000/year in combined subscriptions + staff time syncing data

With i4a, email marketing is included with unlimited contacts. Active members, lapsed members, prospects—all in one database. One platform, one login, no syncing, flat-rate pricing.

You'll use our Contact Import Wizard to bring your data into i4a—it's designed to be straightforward and intuitive. You export your existing data to Excel/CSV format, map the fields using our wizard, and import everything yourself. This gives you complete control over your data and ensures accuracy.

The $1,500 setup fee includes step-by-step video tutorials, detailed documentation, and our support team available to answer questions throughout the process. We'll guide you through field mapping, troubleshoot any issues, and help ensure your data imports correctly—you just won't see us doing the actual export or import work for you.

Most organizations are up and running within 60–90 days, though timelines vary based on your data complexity and customization needs.

You can add staff users anytime. Contact your account manager or support team. We'll provide pricing and add them to your account. Our pricing scales with your growth.

Getting started is simple. Schedule a 30-60 minute demo. We'll show you the platform based on your needs, answer pricing questions, and show how i4a works for your organization. No pressure—just see if we're the right fit.

After the demo, if you move forward, within one business day of signing up you'll receive access to a development site and a detailed step-by-step onboarding checklist to work with. We handle implementation, data migration, and training. Most organizations launch in 60-90 days. Schedule a demo now →

Yes, on request. We'll set up a working i4a site with a real encryption key and sample data so you can click through it yourself.

We usually suggest a personalized demo instead, and we'll tell you why. i4a has a lot of features, and until you've run an AMS you don't yet know which ones your association will live in day to day. A trial drops you in the deep end of the pool to learn to swim. An hour walking through your actual renewal, event and dues workflows tells you more than two weeks exploring on your own.

If you'd still rather have the trial, ask and we'll create it. Schedule a demo now →
