Built for Membership Organizations, By Membership Experts
Since 1996, we've helped membership organizations modernize, engage members, and grow. We're not a generic CRM. We're membership software built from the ground up for associations.
"We consolidated 12+ association clients onto i4a and saved over $100,000 annually in software costs alone."
Trusted by Membership Organizations Nationwide
AMCs, professional associations, trade associations, and healthcare organizations across all 50 states
You Shouldn't Have to Choose Between Growth and Budget
Most software charges more as you grow. Add a member? Your bill goes up. Import prospects? Pay more. Want to reactivate past members? That costs extra.
This forces tough choices:
- Delete past members to save money (losing valuable historical data)
- Skip reactivation campaigns to avoid exceeding contact limits
- Hesitate to import prospects because it increases your costs
- Budget for price increases as you grow
- Juggle multiple disconnected tools that don't talk to each other
- Spend staff time on manual data entry instead of member engagement
Your members deserve better. Your team deserves better. And you shouldn't be punished for growing your organization.
The Hidden Cost of Contact-Based Pricing
Typical AMS Platform:
| 1,000 contacts | $180/month |
| 2,500 contacts | $260/month |
| 5,000 contacts | $440/month |
| 10,000 contacts | $530/month |
i4a Pricing:
Unlimited Members, Contacts, Events and Emails.
Your price stays the same whether you have 1,000 or 50,000+ members and contacts. See detailed pricing
Why Membership Organizations Trust i4a
We're not just software—we're your partner in building a thriving membership organization
Unlimited Growth Potential
Store unlimited members, prospects, and contacts. No per-contact fees.

Built Only for Membership Organizations
Since 1996, we've built software only for membership organizations across 30 years. Not generic CRMs. Not business software. Just membership tools for AMCs, professional associations, trade associations, and healthcare organizations.
Why it matters: We understand member dues, renewal grace periods, volunteer committees, continuing education credits, and how associations work.
All-in-One Platform
Stop juggling multiple systems. Manage members, events, email, and accounting in one place with one login. Organizations using separate tools spend an average of 15-20 hours per month on duplicate data entry and reconciliation.
Why it matters: No double data entry. No integration fees. Changes in one place update everywhere.
U.S.-Based Support Team
Real people answer your calls and emails. Most issues are resolved the same day. No offshore call centers. No chatbots. No automated responses. Our average rating is 4.85 out of 5 stars from over 1,000 client reviews since 2012.
Why it matters: When renewals are due or event registration opens, you need fast answers from people who understand associations.
Built for Long-Term Partnerships
We're not chasing venture capital or planning an exit. Our stakeholders are invested in serving clients and providing great support. That's the difference between a vendor and a partner.
Why it matters: Your data is safe with a stable partner who will be here for decades. We won't be acquired and shut down in 3 years.
Flat-Rate Pricing
Starting at $99/month. Pricing is based on staff seats and features, not member count. Organizations switching from per-contact pricing save an average of $3,600-$12,000 annually.
Why it matters: Your software costs won't balloon when you grow your membership by 50% next year.

Serving Organizations of All Sizes
30 Years of Expertise
In 1996, we founded i4a with a clear vision: create software that helps associations grow without being penalized for success.
We've worked closely with our clients for nearly 30 years. We've built a comprehensive offering at a fair price.
We built i4a from the ground up to handle how associations work: member dues with grace periods, tiered membership types, volunteer committees, continuing education credits, and event registration that connects with accounting.
Today, i4a remains client-focused. Our stakeholders are invested in serving clients and providing great support. We're not chasing venture capital or planning an exit. We're committed to the long-term success of the organizations we serve.
"We started i4a because membership organizations were struggling with software that didn't understand their needs. 30 years later, our mission remains the same: provide technology that grows with them, not against them."
— Donald Rome, Founder & President

What Organization Leaders Ask
Three key differences:
1. Unlimited growth without penalties: Most platforms charge per contact. Your costs go up as you grow. i4a pricing is based on staff seats and features, not member count. Your base cost stays the same whether you have 1,000 or 50,000+ members.
2. Built only for membership organizations: Since 1996, we've built software only for associations. We're not a generic CRM trying to adapt. We understand member dues, grace periods, and how associations work.
3. Long-term partnership: We're not chasing venture capital or planning an exit. Our stakeholders are invested in serving clients for decades. That's why our support team averages 4.85 out of 5 stars from over 1,000 ratings.
Yes. i4a supports multiple member types, organizational memberships, tiered dues, proration, grace periods, auto-renewals, chapter affiliations, and special interest groups. We've been building membership software for 30 years. We've seen every membership model and can handle your structure.
During your demo, we'll show you exactly how i4a handles your requirements—complex pricing tiers, multi-chapter structures, credentialing workflows, or AMC multi-client management.
Pricing starts at $99/month for a single-seat license. It scales based on staff users and features you select (Core or Pro Platform). Member count never affects pricing. Your cost stays the same whether you have 1,000 or 50,000+ members.

Our U.S.-based support team responds to most requests within 24 hours. Many issues are resolved the same day. Real people answer your calls and emails. No offshore call centers. No chatbots. Our average rating is 4.85 out of 5 stars from over 1,000 client ratings.
Our team has decades of experience with i4a. Some worked for membership organizations. They understand the urgency when renewals are due or registration opens, and they solve problems quickly.
Yes. We designed i4a for membership professionals, not IT departments. Your membership coordinator can process renewals. Your events coordinator can build registration forms. Your executive director can pull reports. No tech support needed.
We provide 15 hours of onboarding support (training + implementation) and ongoing support. If you need help, our U.S.-based team is always available.
Most clients choose annual contracts for budget predictability and a discount on monthly rates. Month-to-month options are available at standard rates. Either way, we don't lock you in with multi-year commitments—we earn your business every year by delivering value.
Your data always belongs to you, and you can export it at any time.
Most organizations go live in 60–90 days. 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. Timelines vary based on your data and customization needs.
The $1,500 setup fee includes: 15 hours of onboarding support (training + implementation), and step-by-step wizards to guide you through the process.
Your member data comes with you. Member records, contact information, and membership details migrate to i4a. With unlimited contact storage, you don't have to delete past or deceased members to save money—import as many records as you wish and identify which are active or inactive.
We can also import historical data related to your contacts on request, such as committee or board history or past event attendance.
Yes. i4a exports your membership dues, event registrations, and product sales in a QuickBooks-compatible format. Use tools like Transaction Pro Importer to bring it in. Transactions are categorized by GL account for easy month-end reconciliation.
If you use different accounting software or need other integrations, i4a provides API access for custom connections.
We offer personalized demos tailored to your needs. We'll show exactly how i4a handles your membership types, events, and reporting. This is more valuable than a generic trial where you figure things out alone.
During the demo, you'll see real workflows, ask questions, and get immediate answers. Schedule your demo now.
You won't outgrow i4a. We serve organizations with over 120,000 members on the same platform with the same unlimited contact pricing. As you grow, your pricing is based on staff seats and features, not member count.
Many clients have been with us for 15+ years as they scaled from small regional associations to large national organizations. The platform scales with you—new member types, chapter management, or new revenue streams. We built i4a to grow with you.
What Our Clients Say
"As a two-person team managing a growing association, i4a has been a game-changer. The all-in-one platform eliminated the need to juggle multiple systems, and the unlimited member pricing means we can focus on growth instead of worrying about per-contact fees eating into our budget."
"For professional societies needing complete web services, i4a is an outstanding, easy-to-use option. Our website development costs and implementation time have been profoundly impacted with streamlined business efficiencies."
Your Platform Should Support Growth, Not Penalize It
Growing associations deserve software that scales with them. Unlimited members and flat-rate pricing aren't premium features. They're what every organization should expect. See how flat-rate pricing works for associations serious about growth.
