Senior Director of Advertising Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Integrated software for events and communities." April 9, 2025 5.0 Glue Up is a solution that automates and improves communication with our clients and communities. It allows for the simple creation and promotion of events, facilitates the collection of participant data, and is a key tool for managing sales-focused events, such as conferences, webinars, and product launches. Pros Glue Up facilitates the ability to generate sales leads, foster strong customer relationships, enhance the customer experience, and obtain strategic insights through data analysis. Cons I do not detect any difficulties or objections that need to be mentioned about this tool. Review Source WC Wiktoria C. Community and Events Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simplifying Community Building — for Both Admins and Users" August 1, 2025 5.0 Glue Up helps us streamline and centralise many aspects of our work as an association secretariat. It connects CRM, events, communications, membership management, and payments all in one platform, which saves us time and gives us a full overview of our members’ engagement in just a few clicks. Instead of switching between tools, we can see everything in one place: who our members are, what events they've joined, which invoices are pending, and how active they are in the community. This level of integration has made our admin work more efficient and has allowed us to offer a more personalised and professional experience to our members. Pros The CRM system is a standout feature. It's incredibly well-integrated, allowing us to easily access all relevant information about our members in one place—from contact details and event attendance to payment history and engagement level. This makes it so much easier to stay on top of our relationships and respond to members’ needs quickly. The platform also makes communication simple and efficient. We can send out targeted emails, notifications, and campaigns to the exact audience we want to reach, all from within the system. That level of control and flexibility is incredibly helpful. The events module is another highlight. Setting up registration pages, ticketing, and managing attendees is intuitive and smooth. It saves us a lot of time and adds a very professional touch to our events. Overall, the platform brings everything together in one place, making it much easier to manage a community effectively. Cons The Knowledge Library is very useful and allows us to share important content, but visually, it could be more engaging or dynamic. The current design is fully functional, but a refresh could make it even more appealing for users exploring resources. Alternatives considered [Eudonet](https://www.capterra.com/p/185138/Eudonet-CRM/) Reason for choosing Glue Up All the available functions, payments and invoicing module. Review Source Danna F. Exec. Director Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "NOT for Associations unless you have the staff time to spend inside and outside making members value this platform." February 27, 2026 2.0 I would use another system completely. I manage multiple associations and this system is NOT one I would recommend. Pros Fairly easy to figure out campaigns and community. I tried to give it a fair shot despite what my members told me the first week on the job. But, this is NOT a sophisticated membership database. Cons Seasoned Assn Veteran. NOT an innovative system. If you are ok with spending staff time figuring out reports, waiting on customer service and work arounds, this is the platform for you. Associations poll members...not with Glue Up. Association communities like to search for a conversation, not with Glue Up. Want to change static things on your website like the year of an event? Not in Glue Up...their staff control typical yearly changes. Change in staff and need to change the picture or contact info, don't ask Glue Up staff. They are very slow to change. Switched from [YM Careers](https://www.capterra.com/p/186894/YM-Careers/) I didn't make the switch. Previous ED did. Review Source ME Mark E. Administrator, IT and Events Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Glue Up: Serve your membership better!" December 19, 2025 5.0 I have had considerable experience in almost every module in Glue up (1+ year) and I can say that I appreciate the contacts and event data gathering that assists us in reaching our equity goals. Pros We like Glue Up for the ability to integrate several different areas of work into one platform, simplifying tasks and data. Cons Some features are not available yet, or are pretty basic. ( follow up surveys) Some advances features require an upgrade to your plan. Switched from [Neon CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/102088/NeonCRM/) Appeared simple, but was not. Low adoption by staff. Review Source DS Darlene S. Director of Operations Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Event management is a plus other things not so much" December 22, 2025 4.0 It has been good onboarding was difficult and needs improvement. We were told things that really didn't happen and data merge did not do what we were told it would do. Pros Event registration and management is easy you can tell the platform started as an event management software. Cons Finance fees on ticket transactions and cost of product. Managing memberships and contacts is too cumbersome. Need more ways to manage and merge memberships for groups. Switched from [WildApricot](https://www.capterra.com/p/76116/WildApricot/) We needed a place for communities across our organization Review Source MN Mendy N. County Auditor Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Glue Up Membership Software Fits Just Right" May 5, 2025 4.0 Glue Up is a great option for any size entity. Representatives were very informative of program features. There were plenty of training resources available. Our account Manager checked in with us throughout the year to see if we had any problems or to just update us on program changes. Price was very reasonable. We were up and running quickly. Pros Ease of maintaining memberships with one app. Members are invoiced automatically by the software through email instead of our old way of using a database to create/print invoices and mailing them. Sending a mass communication to members is very simple as well. Great option for our small, county owned golf course club. Cons I wish it could generate a report of account balances for each member to keep a record of all past due amounts. We have only used Glue Up for about 6 months, so maybe I just haven't discovered the right option yet. I can view individual membership accounts and outstanding invoices. I would just like to print a report of all member balances as of a specific date for Board review. Alternatives considered [MemberClicks](https://www.capterra.com/p/133851/MemberClicks/)[Neon CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/102088/NeonCRM/)[i4a AMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/32449/i4a-AMS/) Reason for choosing Glue Up \[sensitive content hidden\] with Glue Up was quick to follow up with the inquiry. He showed a demo of the product after talking with me to see what our club needed. Price was very reasonable. I originally just wanted a foolproof membership program to invoice members and process payments easier. He showed me several features that would possibly be useful for the club as we progressed. Switched from [Microsoft Access](https://www.capterra.com/p/233275/Microsoft-Access/) Our bookkeeper would change the membership database unintentionally which created problems trying to generate invoices. She also would confuse payments because there wasn't enough detail on the invoices. I was looking for an option that would be easy to learn for non-accounting experienced employees for a reasonable cost since we are a small entity. Also figured it would provide an easier way to report club activity to the Board. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Development and Marketing Manager Printing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Printing SA" November 19, 2025 4.0 So far so good, can't complain. It has definitely been well received by all stakeholders internally and externally. Pros Customer Support, Event Management, Event Registration, and Value for Money are all hallmarks of what makes this a great platform. Cons It can be very technical, and it has limited templates for Campaigns. We would also appreciate the ability to load our own templates. Alternatives considered [MembershipWorks](https://www.capterra.com/p/137032/MembershipWorks/) Reason for choosing Glue Up It has a lot more functionality, and we were able to migrate our data seamlessly. Review Source AT Anna T. Communications Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Unexpected benefits and great value!" December 19, 2025 5.0 It's great to have a proper CRM / AMS with all our membership in one place. It has also helped us think through our decisions as an association. Pros We have been pleased with the customer service, ease of use, and the event capabilities of the Glue Up. As the communications director, it has given me more ways to connect with the membership. It's a great value! Cons We had some minor struggles with our own understanding of the dues collection setup the first time around. But customer support got us back on track, and we're all set up for next year. Alternatives considered [ToucanTech](https://www.capterra.com/p/140805/ToucanTech/) Reason for choosing Glue Up It had the suite of capabilities that we were looking for. Review Source LD Lana D. Marketing Operations Packaging and Containers Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Associations with active members and content - Keep Looking" February 15, 2025 2.0 The backend is easy to figure out, but you have to be willing to spend time troubleshooting workarounds to make it work with the front-end. Also the home page and certain other pages are locked and require you to request help from their in-house developer regularly. Which means they either need to hire more developers to assign each account, or they need to make it easier to update content directly without requiring their developer every time. Doesn't need to be completely like a shopify experience where you can drag & drop (although that would be nice), but you guys do need to loosen the reins a bit. Pros Ease of use in terms of backend searches, reporting and updating front-facing site content. Emphasis on backend -- the workflow to onboard and manage users undermines all that's good, and creates more work. Cons The most important thing of all -- a streamlined MEMBER experience. Where to start: 1. Registering and completing your profile page does NOT auto-populate into the actual database where it counts. It's just profile info for your profile that's akin to a company only social media page. For all its AI features, it should absolutely be intuitive enough to populate as a member profile in the actual database. Herein starts all the company access and manual login issues that will require you to create a position just to handle -- which again, could be streamlined with one single autofill and then that hire could instead be used to grow your membership using the tools this site offers more effectively. But priority above all else -- it creates more steps for the members and when your members pay a significant amount to be able to access their account and exclusive content, it should damn well be a seamless process. Super basic. If I go into every other detail that trickles down from this one detail, I'd be here all day. But make sure to at least ask these questions at consult/onboarding stage. Alternatives considered [Higher Logic Thrive](https://www.capterra.com/p/86198/Higher-Logic-Online-Community/) Reason for choosing Glue Up And one other, can't remember but their main feature was the "community portals" that function like social media pages among members, which is not a need/priority for us. Yours happened to also offer to ensure firewall and easy access to member only content. Switched from [Novi AMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/188714/Novi-AMS/) Their backend and front-end was a mess and we were paying double per year. At least your website/design/page formatting is straight forward and visually far better. But the clincher for the move was onboarding members and making firewalled content easier to manage. You are better at the firewalled content management part, but we clearly did not solve our member management issue, might have even exhausted the issue further. Review Source LH Lisa H. Chapter Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "New but Excited! " July 23, 2025 5.0 Although using Glue Up is new with my organization, it's been fairly easy to learn and the support through the setup process has been EXCELLENT! I can't wait to see what we can do together! Pros The interface is user friendly and will increase member engagement. I love how we can customize our events with their own mini-web page that allows attendees to comment and really get one another excited about what's to come. Cons It doesn't have an available storefront, which I misunderstood, but hopefully it's a capability that can be integrated at some point. Alternatives considered [GrowthZone](https://www.capterra.com/p/124449/GrowthZone/) Reason for choosing Glue Up The presentation was heads above the rest and my Board was sold on the available features and pricing. Switched from [WildApricot](https://www.capterra.com/p/76116/WildApricot/) Previous platform was outdated and clunky, not as user or admin friendly. Review Source AS Amber S. Student Employment Manager Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Outstanding Glue Up Team" July 23, 2025 5.0 Our organization had a great experience with the Glue Up Team! We are very pleased with our new website! Pros The Glue Up Team was instrumental in launching our new website. As complete beginners, we truly appreciated their clear, easy-to-follow training sessions and their incredible patience throughout the process! Cons Although the implementation process took longer than expected, the result made it well worth the wait. Switched from [MemberClicks](https://www.capterra.com/p/133851/MemberClicks/) Not a user-friendly product, it was difficult to get support. Review Source NS Nicholas S. Website and Digital Communications Manager Furniture Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Glue Up is the CRM your organizations needs!" September 4, 2024 4.0 Overall, the experience with Glue Up has been wonderful. The customer service is excellent and the Glue Up team is continuously evaluating and implementing ways to improve the platform. Glue Up holds quarterly webinars to update their customers on everything they are doing while allowing them to ask questions directly to the CEO, which is a nice touch. Glue Up also has tons of resources and training videos/webinars to help members of your organization get equipped with using the platform. Pros Glue Up is a great solution for connecting your database with your various forms of electronic communications as well as your website. It's an awesome CRM platform for membership-based organizations! Cons While it's great that Glue Up is designed to be an all-in-one platform, there are limitations to things like website and email design, along with setting up events with landing pages. It gives you the basics, but it would be nice if Glue Up could match some of the customization and creative options that other platforms can. Alternatives considered [WildApricot](https://www.capterra.com/p/76116/WildApricot/) Reason for choosing Glue Up Glue Up appeared to offer more options and be the most innovative as a CRM. Their pricing is also very fair for the products that they offer. Review Source EE Eleric E.

I'm able to perform my duties with excellence, and the members of my Chamber are thrilled. Pros What I like most about Glue Up is its user-friendly interface and the seamless integration of multiple event and membership management tools. The platform makes it incredibly easy to organize events, communicate with members, and track engagement—all in one place. The automation features save me a significant amount of time, allowing me to focus on building stronger relationships within our community. Additionally, I am impressed by the responsive customer support and the regular updates that continually enhance the platform’s functionality. Glue Up truly understands the needs of organizations like ours and provides solutions that help us grow and succeed Cons 1\. I have to sign in several times due to security measures. I agree with the security; however, you must leave at least a couple of months without deleting the information. Review Source JB Joudia B. Vicepresident Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very good product, with big potential." June 23, 2025 4.0 The experience is positive and the Customer Success support is very good and with a high knowledge and performance of the platform. Pros The most I liked is the Events module and the membership, and the MyGlue. And its high level of automatisation. Cons The fact that the allowances in the different sections are reduced. So to have a full option system or a high capacity, the payment becomes high. Switched from [TimTul](https://www.capterra.com/p/154425/TimTul/) The management of the members was not good.

It is very user friendly and the support team are incredibly helpful and professional. Pros We started using GlueUp last year and so far have found it to be easy to use. Our account management team are incredibly helpful and professional. Cons Some of our members disliked the new set up and had issues when trying to pay for their membership with a specific bank's card. This may be as it was new, hopefully our renewals will run smoothly this year. Review Source AC Allen C.

Counseling Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Highly recommend!" June 3, 2025 5.0 Glue Up helps us improve our communication. As mentioned, it is very easy to manage and use. I would highly recommend! Pros We find Glue Up to be very user friendly. I also like that customer support tends to reply back and give great feedback/info when needed. Cons There may have been a few technical issues, however, overall there are not any problems. It sometimes seems to run a little slow, but that may be on our end. Review Source iL iwona L.

Since we had already acquired GlueUp in 2021 and someone else set up the content at that time, I now need to review each entry individually. This process is time-consuming, especially when it comes to removing individuals who should not be on the platform. So, yes, this is a significant downside. Review Source KW Kaveendra W. Intern Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "User friendly Platform" September 9, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with Glue Up has been highly positive. It’s an intuitive and comprehensive platform that streamlines event management, community building, and membership engagement. Pros Glue Up makes it easy to create and manage both in-person and virtual events. Users can set up event pages with registration forms, ticketing options, and event details in just a few steps, which saves time and reduces the hassle of coordinating logistics. Cons There was nothing like that we as a company need to use it more often Review Source JS Jacqueline S.

Pros It is simple to use and the help available is both comprehensive and very easy to access making it even more useful. Cons Off the shelf it is missing a few fields we would find really helpful. It is not exactly covering what we are using it for which limits how effective it can be for us. Review Source RB Rosanna B. Administrator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review of Glue Up for one of our membership association clients" June 19, 2024 4.0 Pros The community feature has transformed how members interact and share knowledge with one another and has added huge value to the membership. The renewal system and reoccurring payments have increased our membership retention levels as it allow members to manage the renewal process with ease. The finance function is great. The campaign function is excellent. On going support from Glue Up is great - we love the access to training sessions and the contact us are for queries. Our Customer Success Manager is very responsive which has been extremely helpful. Overall, we are very happy with the product for an affordable off the shelf membership management system. Cons The initial set up process was not seamless as members had to activate their Glue Up account in order to access the system. This generated a lot of queries which went on for a substantial length of time. Our client's needs were not understood entirely at the initial set up stage.

Cons Too many cons to list, but you don't have access to your website reports. It is not user-friendly when it comes to navigating through the backend of your website (Your Membership was so much easier). Members constantly have problems with navigating through the system...don't know how to respond to posts, can't figure out how to opt-out of notifications. Reason for choosing Glue Up I didn't have a choice in this matter. New ED didn't ask us what was working before deciding to change. Review Source DG Dani G. Senior Officer Events and Partnerships Relaitons Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An integral tool in our operations" November 17, 2022 5.0 Event management, contact management, committee management, and member management are all being streamlined by using Glue Up. This increases our efficiency and benefits us greatly. Pros The interface is very user-friendly, and the capabilities on offer are extensive and relevant. The simplicity of the design and the functionality make this platform stand out.The staff are also accommodating and are quick to assist us if needed.The bank of information available with tutorials on how to get the maximum out of Glue-Up is also helpful.We use this platform for the majority of our business and are continuing to look at ways to integrate furtherBy having all contact, event, registration, and campaign details in one place, we can streamline our efforts and maximise efficiency. Particularly, the ability to group our contacts into various committees that can then be integrated into event pages is helpful. The event and registration pages themselves provide extensive flexibility while remaining entirely user friendly. Cons On rare occasions, the platform experiences some technical issues making us unable to access it. It would also benefit us to have full control over the invoice template. Currently, we cannot use this functionality due to legal requirements from Cambodia (as we must show the amount in a currency not yet accepted by Glue-Up) which is a shame. Reason for choosing Glue Up NA (Glue Up has been getting used since much of the current staff joined).
