And while we all would love to have an assistant to take these off our plates, not many association budgets have wiggle room for such a luxury (if only!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you can\u2019t afford a human assistant, a robot assistant can offer some extra help. A little automation goes a long way when it comes to offloading admin tasks. And that\u2019s where association management software (AMS) can help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/admea.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Alabama Durable Medical Equipment Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> uses an association management system to automate 90% of their admin tasks \u2014 which saves them thousands of hours (and a hefty chunk of change) every year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI love how quick and easy it was to set up and modify, even for someone with limited computer skills,\u201d said Michael W.

You can still update those handy spreadsheets, key in any changes in contact info for members, and finish up your other admin tasks. It\u2019s tedious and time-consuming, but still doable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At some point, your member numbers could spike. After all, the ultimate goal is to grow your organization, right? And when your association expands exponentially, your DIY system will hold you back. Manual data entry will be too clunky, lead to human errors, and take way too much time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With an AMS, even when your organization grows, the platform will scale with you. You won\u2019t need to log any more hours in the office \u2014 member association software can automatically take care of most of those pesky admin tasks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without an endless to-do list of admin work, you can focus on higher-impact, long-term tasks only humans can do \u2014 think engaging with your members, creating new programs, establishing partnerships, and planning for the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does AMS software cost?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s the rub: AMS platforms have a variety of pricing models. For most options, you\u2019ll pay monthly or an annual subscription fees. You may also have to pony up extra cash for initial setup fees and\/or a small percentage of each transaction through their payment portal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the whole, you can expect to pay anywhere from $50 to a few hundred dollars per month. Below, we\u2019ll compare the prices for the top AMS options so you can get the best bang for your buck.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21 popular association management software options<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you understand how much you can benefit from member association software, let\u2019s dig into some of the top tools and all their details to help you with the vetting process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WildApricot<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing starts at $63\/month<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free 60-day trial<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free support<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/academy\/expert-webinar-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free educational webinars<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thousands of associations already use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/association-management-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WildApricot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to manage their members every day.
