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 TM Tamsin M. Operations Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use professional member and event application" March 23, 2026 5.0 I have found all the staff, sales, implementation, account management and support very helpful. They are patient and timely. The membership management and event management (including all connections to the finance application) work well. They give you great visibility and look very professional. Users can easily access their event registrations and membership invoices, and it is easy to communicate via the email templates. Although a little basic, they really do cover everything you should need. The easy-to-market event templates have saved us so much time. This is a great application and a great value for money. Pros Event Management and Contact Management were easy for the user to navigate and integrate into our website. Cons Although integration was quite simple, you did have to (with Glueup's help) integrate and set up on your own. Alternatives considered [Apricot](https://www.capterra.com/p/152918/Apricot/) Reason for choosing Glue Up It was too simple and did not look professional Switched from [VeryConnect](https://www.capterra.com/p/149825/VeryConnect/) Veryconnect was not suitable for our society, although it does have positives we found it was not working and fixes and costs kept going up.

Pros Como organización hemos tenido muchas ventajas al usar Glue Up: Poder gestionar mejor nuestra amplia red de contactos, dar seguimiento a nuestra membresía, administrar nuestras oportunidades de crecimiento y dar difusión a nuestras actividades. Además, hemos podido gestionar de manera sencilla y profesional nuestros eventos que reúnen a miles de personas cada año. Cons Hay áreas de oportunidad en las plantillas para eventos, permitiendo que haya actualizaciones que puedan dar mayor margen para personalizar su diseño.

August 13, 2025 1.0 This platform tries to do it all for associations and does no one thing well and almost everything poorly. Navigating around is slow and difficult; members information is difficult to organize; reporting functionality is very basic, limited to filters; information is scattered, not allowing you to compare and analyze critical data; email builder is awful; deliverability is bad; website content management is locked down so you have to wait two weeks to make any type of update; customer support is slow and terrible, revolving door of new staff and account managers. Don’t be fooled by the low annual fee, you will pay for it either by having to hire consultants or additional staff to manage it for you, or spend all of your time trying to figure out how this slow, bulky, cumbersome thing works. Pros It’s easy to access your members and contacts, but that’s it. They’ve put a lot of thought into functionality and set it up logically, unfortunately not from a simple user experience point of view. Cons No flexibility; difficult to navigate; cannot customize many of the communications messages; website content management is very restrictive; customer support responsiveness is extremely slow. Switched from [WildApricot](https://www.capterra.com/p/76116/WildApricot/) WildApricot is archaic and it doesn’t look like they are investing in modernization. Review Source ME Mark E.

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.

Membership Administrator Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PSI / Glue Up review" July 30, 2025 4.0 While we’ve suggested a few improvements, overall Glue Up has been effective in managing both events and memberships, and we find the platform to be user-friendly and well-aligned with our operational needs. Pros The interface is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. Ease of completing actions such as events set up, member details changes, campaign creation etc are great. Cons We have suggested a few improvements to our contact at Glue Up, there are a few limitations within certain modules - e.g. transitioning members in bulk to another member type, allocating partial payments to invoices, being able to process a partial refund without voiding the entire payment record, being able to export relevant information for event reporting Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing and Admin Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Transformed Our Vision Into a Functional Website" August 5, 2025 4.0 Glue Up has been a valuable tool for our organization, offering a wide range of features that help us manage memberships, host virtual events, and build micro websites—all within one platform. The team was supportive throughout our website project and worked closely with us to bring it to life. Like any new system, there was a learning curve, and we did experience a few technical hiccups early on, such as a data upload that required some manual adjustments. Training new staff has taken a bit more time than expected due to the platform's complexity, and some of our project meetings felt a little rushed. However, we recognize the Glue Up team is balancing multiple clients, and they’ve always made an effort to support us when it matters. Despite a few bumps along the way, we’ve seen the benefits of using a comprehensive platform like Glue Up and are excited to keep exploring its full potential. Pros We’ve really enjoyed working with Glue Up because of how versatile and user-friendly the platform is. It allows us to manage our membership efficiently, host virtual events with ease, and even create micro websites—all in one place. One of the standout aspects of our experience was the exceptional support from the Glue Up team. They were incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the entire website development process, helping us bring our vision to life and ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Cons While our overall experience with Glue Up has been positive, there were a few areas that proved challenging. During a mass data upload, several sections didn’t transfer correctly, which required us to spend time manually fixing the issues. The platform itself isn’t very beginner-friendly, and because it’s not widely known, it’s been difficult to get new staff up to speed quickly. The website development process also had some hiccups—we had to make several rounds of edits because the structure for submitting content wasn’t clearly outlined from the start. Additionally, the biweekly meetings felt rushed, limited to just 30 minutes, and often gave the impression that the team was stretched thin. In one instance, the Zoom link provided didn’t work, and after 15 minutes of no response, we were only left with half the time and weren’t offered an extension. While we understand they may be managing many clients, it was frustrating to feel like we weren’t a priority during key moments of the process. Review Source JM Jessica M. Executive Director Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Multiple features with good customer support" March 2, 2026 4.0 Glue Up staff is friendly and helpful. Having a platform that connects an online community, events and membership in one location is very helpful for our organization. Pros Glue Up is constantly adding and refining new features and has excellent customer support. The member community platform is well designed. Cons Managing contacts in the database is a learning curve. There are multiple places a contact exists which isn't always intuitive. Switched from [ClubExpress](https://www.capterra.com/p/42550/ClubExpress/) A more user friendly interface, functional event management and the option for a dedicated online member community platform.

Director, Operations and Membership Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great CRM/Portal/App for the Price" March 2, 2026 4.0 Overall experience with Glue Up was very positive! The software is modern and user friendly with a lot of customization to the data collected and displayed. Staff are great and the onboard process was pretty well documented and largely helpful. Pros The software interface for users is very modern and the social media-style community makes the experience very approachable. The workflow and automation for membership is going to make my life, come renewal time, SO much easier. Price was very reasonable for all it includes! Cons We were sold on the promise of a couple features that weren't actually available so that was frustrating (ex. shopping cart for purchase of tickets to multiple different events). I also wish the integration with QBO was more robust for custom invoices.

CEO Broadcast Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Extremely Satisfied." May 27, 2025 5.0 Screenworks experience with Glueup has been extremely satisfying. Where we were once using multiple programs to meet our business needs we now have all our needs managed through the one robust program which also provides accessible customer service to help address any queries. Pros Glueup is a critical resource for Screenworks, predominantly because there are so many functions within the one program and it also supports a broad range of complementary plug ins. It is simple to use and addresses what we need for membership management, marketing and events. Screenworks uses Glueup's contact management for our multiple databases, campaign management for our EDM, newsletters and media releases, Communities to enable our members to communicate directly with each other, the event management capacity is robust and we use it for event promotion, ticketing and registration and financing. Their help line and customer response is always prompt and assists with any problems we have. There are regular and comprehensive training programs available online which are valuable for training staff. Cons The program costs have increased significantly over time as our membership, emails and usage increases, however Glueup has always been open to negotiating pricing to meet our organisations needs.

Membership Executive Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best for membership organisation " July 22, 2025 5.0 Our experience with Glue Up has been excellent. It has transformed how we manage our membership organisation — from automating renewals to running professional events and communications. The integration between CRM, email campaigns, and member management is particularly effective. It’s been a game-changer for our operational efficiency and member satisfaction. Pros Glue Up offers a seamless all-in-one platform that streamlines event management, membership renewals, email marketing, and CRM tasks. The intuitive interface and powerful automation features significantly reduce administrative workload and improve member engagement.

However, the support team is responsive and helpful throughout the onboarding process. Review Source MWB Marcelo William B.

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 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.

The team always gives us assistance when we reach out. Pros Being able to send out mass emails to our members. It makes membership engagement easier while also being able to see how many people are engaging. Cons Not being able to create membership payment plans. Some of our members would like to join but can only pay on a monthly basis and not the full yearly amount. Review Source Lucas B. General Manager Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We use glueup for on- and offline event management" July 15, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with Glue Up has been highly positive. The platform is reliable and helps us organize events more efficiently, engage with members effectively, and maintain a professional presence. Minor improvements would make it nearly perfect. Pros Glue Up has significantly streamlined our event management process by simplifying invitations, registrations, and participant tracking. Its intuitive interface and automation features have saved us valuable time and improved overall communication with attendees. Cons While the platform offers many great features, the contact search function feels a bit outdated and slow, especially when trying to filter or locate specific people from a large database. A smarter search and tagging system would enhance usability. Review Source NE Noah E.

Very responsive and the platform was easy to integrate in our business practice. Glue Up will take the time help make your work with them as smooth as possible! Pros Customer Service is great. The platform is easy to learn and when you run into any tech issues Glue Up support can help solve the problem with a quick response rate. Cons There seemed to be some issues with the QuickBooks integration that caused issues for our accounting. That has since been resolved but it makes we wary to trust the system completely.

Pros My organisation has been using GlueUp for a number of years now. The system is great, easy to use and they are continually improving the functionality to suits their users. Our account management team are very flexible with us, which we appreciate so much. Cons There is not much to dislike but I would love for them to be able to add functionality that allows for a % of the invoice amount to be passed onto the customer when they pay with cc. Our organisation is losing a lot of money because this functionality is not available. I would also love to be able to create 1 invoice for more than 1 registration from the backend (this feature is only available in the frontend).

I can communicate instantly with the membership. It is very easy to create events and conferences. I can tell who is opening and reading my emails. Cons I like everything about GlueUP.
