The cost case · Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis club websites
Start with the bill and one costly workflow. The comparison is straightforward: recurring software costs you can actually remove, minus the hosting, AI, integrations and upkeep a replacement needs. Time saved is a separate gain, and only becomes margin when the business can use it.
Current software · researched prices
Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis club websites software runs $29 to $385 a month across the 3 vendors that publish prices. A website-related price point in the research is $170 a month; check whether it is a plan rate or a separate fee. 1 of 5 vendors have quote-only pricing in our research.
Published starting prices are not a like-for-like quote. Confirm the plans, seats, add-ons, payment fees and setup your workflow requires.
A focused tool · under your control
One time: map the rules, build, test edge cases, move only the data needed and train the people who use it.
Each month: affordable hosting, coding-AI usage, any database or integrations, backups and maintenance. Price these for the actual application; a $0 or low hosting tier is not the total cost.
You control: the code repository, domain, data and service accounts. Someone on your side owns updates, access, recovery and support.
The exact replacement cost depends on scope and usage. Bring your invoice and one frustrating task; we’ll map what can stay, what could be owned and the costs to verify.

Where the money goes
Most of it goes to a membership platform, not a website. Wild Apricot bills by contact band, StarChapter by member band at $86 a month under 50 members plus a $1,169 setup fee, and Join It charges $29 plus a 3.0% service fee on the dues it collects.
Before touching anything, the audit checks who holds the logins and what the incoming officers will need. Officers rotate every year, and whatever you use has to survive the handoff.
Ask providers to demonstrate this workflow using your edge cases. Check which plan includes each step, what costs extra and how your records can be exported.
