GatherAMS vs MemberClicks: the MemberClicks alternative, priced honestly
A long-established AMS (now part of Personify) with separate products for trade/chamber organizations (MC Trade) and individual-member groups (MC Professional).
An association that wants a mature, sales-supported platform and is comfortable with an annual contract — particularly if staff have used MemberClicks elsewhere.

MemberClicks questions, answered straight
What does MemberClicks cost?
MemberClicks does not publish a full price list. Entry pricing is widely reported at about $3,500 per year for MC Trade (organizational membership) and $4,500 per year for MC Professional (individual membership), billed annually, with no free trial. GatherAMS runs $45–$329/month, monthly billing available, 30 days free on approval.
What is a good MemberClicks alternative?
If the annual contract, the sales-led evaluation or the split between MC Trade and MC Professional is what has you looking, GatherAMS runs company and individual membership side by side in one product, publishes its prices, and lets you walk into a live demo account from an emailed link, with no call.
When is MemberClicks the better choice?
When you want a long-established, sales-supported AMS and your staff already know it from a previous role — familiarity is worth real money in admin time. Its two product lines are mature, and for organizations that prefer a managed relationship over self-serve, that model fits.
Does GatherAMS handle both organizational and individual membership?
Yes, in the same roster — a member company carries its own tier, invoice and named staff contacts while individual professionals hold their own memberships. You do not choose a product line up front, and a chamber, a club and a trade association all run the same platform.
