Veldun vs. MemberClicks
MemberClicks is a capable association-management system — built for organizations with 500 to 5,000 members and the paid staff to run it. Veldun is built for the other end of the market: small associations under 500 members run by volunteer boards. If you don’t have an association manager on payroll, this comparison is for you.

Who each one is built for
MemberClicks (now part of the Personify family) is a mid-market association management system. It is genuinely strong for larger associations with a few thousand members, dedicated administrative staff, and the budget for a premium platform with account management and a months-long implementation.
Veldun is built for the organizations MemberClicks isn’t: county bar associations, CPA chapters, professional societies, and alumni clubs with 50–500 members and no paid staff — where a volunteer treasurer or secretary runs everything in the hours they can spare.
The honest test is simple. If you employ someone whose job is managing the association, MemberClicks is worth evaluating. If your “staff” is a rotating board of volunteers, a platform built for staffed orgs will feel like wearing a suit three sizes too big.
Cost and commitment
MemberClicks uses custom quotes rather than published pricing, and real-world costs for small-to-mid associations typically land in the $3,000–$10,000+ per year range, often with implementation fees and an annual contract on top.
Veldun publishes its pricing: Starter at $79/month (up to 200 contacts), Growth at $119/month (up to 500), Professional at $179/month (up to 1,000). Every feature is included at every tier, billing is month-to-month, and there are no setup or migration fees. A typical small association on Growth pays $1,428/year — a fraction of a mid-market AMS contract.
For an organization with paid staff and 3,000 members, that MemberClicks contract can be money well spent. For a 200-member chapter run by volunteers, it’s budget that could fund the actual mission instead.
Veldun starts at $79/month with no contract and no setup fee.
MemberClicks: custom annual contract, typically $3,000–$10,000+/yr.
AI and day-to-day workload
Veldun is built with AI in the core workflow. Describe an event in a sentence and the title, description, pricing, and confirmation emails populate in seconds. Your newsletter assembles itself from the month’s activity. Members at renewal risk are flagged before they lapse, with outreach drafted and ready to send.
MemberClicks does not have these AI capabilities. Its depth is real, but so is the administrative overhead — which is why it assumes a staff member to operate it. For a volunteer board, that overhead is the whole problem you’re trying to solve.
If you have paid staff, several thousand members, and the budget for a premium contract, MemberClicks is a serious platform worth evaluating. If you’re a volunteer board under 500 members who needs to spend less time on admin, not more, Veldun was built for you.
