Running your organisation
Governance, volunteers, software, and the day-to-day of running things.
The best free membership software - and what 'free' really costs you
Free membership tools come in three flavours, and each charges you somewhere - your evenings, a member cap, or maintenance. Here's how to spot the catch and when paying a little actually saves money.
Best membership software for nonprofits and community groups
"Nonprofit" covers everything from a grant-giving foundation to a posyandu volunteer group, and they don't all need the same software. Here's how to work out which tool actually fits your organisation.
Association management software (AMS): what it is and who needs it
"Association" makes almost every group think it needs association software. Most don't. Here's what an AMS actually is, who the category was built for, and how to work out honestly which end of the market you belong to.
The cheapest membership software (and the real cost of 'free')
The truly cheapest option is a spreadsheet, a WhatsApp group and a bank account you reconcile by hand. It's free in rupiah and expensive in your evenings. Here's how to weigh money against time, from free DIY up to the enterprise end.
What membership management software actually is (a plain guide)
It's just one place for your member list, dues, payments, events and messages instead of a dozen apps and your own memory. Here's what it is, who needs it, and who's fine without it for now.
Glue Up vs Anggota: which membership platform fits your organisation?
A fair, side-by-side look at two membership platforms built for very different sizes of organisation - what each does well, who each suits, and where the honest dividing line falls.
Glue Up alternatives: affordable options for smaller organisations
Looked at Glue Up and felt it was more platform than you need? A fair look at why people seek an alternative, the honest categories of options, and where an affordable Indonesia-first tool fits (and where it doesn't).
Glue Up pricing explained (and how to know what you'll pay)
There's no price on Glue Up's page because there can't be - it's quote-based and modular. Here's what drives the number, how to get a quote worth reading, and when you'd be better off with a price you can just look up.
Run your whole membership in one place
Anggota keeps your members, renewals, payments and events together, so the admin looks after itself and you can get back to the community. Have a go - it is free to start, no credit card.
