Comparison

TidyHQ vs MemberJungle

MemberJungle is Australian-built and covers a wide spread of club features — website, mobile app, events, member cards. The problem is the pricing. Their cheapest plan is $109 AUD/month for just 250 members. A 500-member club needs $199/month ($2,388/year) or pays $30/month per extra 100 members on top. TidyHQ Pro is $890 AUD/year flat with unlimited members, unlimited admins, and no setup fee. MemberJungle also charges $399–$1,499 for setup before you've used the product. And they lock features like online store, voting, custom forms, and integrations behind higher tiers.

Where TidyHQ wins

Flat pricing that doesn't scale with member count — $890 AUD/year for Pro with unlimited members, unlimited contacts, and unlimited admin seats. No setup fees. MemberJungle's Essentials plan caps you at 250 members with 1 admin seat and 1 support contact for $1,308/year plus a $399 setup fee. TidyHQ's free tier has unlimited contacts and full features — MemberJungle has no free tier at all. Governance tools MemberJungle doesn't offer: meeting minutes with action items, committee task management that survives role changes. Native Xero integration included on Pro — MemberJungle only offers third-party integrations on Premium ($369/month) and above. Lower transaction fees: 1% + 20c versus MemberJungle's 1.2% + 69c at their cheapest tier.

Where MemberJungle wins

MemberJungle includes a built-in website and branded mobile app on all plans — if your club needs both its website and member portal in one tool, that's genuine value. Their higher tiers have features TidyHQ doesn't: CPD/CME logging for professional development, an online course module, membership and event certificates, a job vacancies board, and a business/sponsor directory. Photo gallery and video uploads are nice additions. If your organisation is a professional association that needs CPD tracking and certificates, MemberJungle's Premium or Ultimate tiers cover that niche.

Best for

Clubs and associations that want one flat price with no member caps, no setup fees, and no feature gating by tier. Any organisation where the admin is done by volunteers who need simple software and transparent costs — not a $399 setup fee and a sales call about "setup packages."

Key differences

No member cap, no extra charges

MemberJungle's Essentials plan includes 250 members. Need 500? Either upgrade to Standard ($199/month) or pay $30/month for every 100 extra members. At 500 members on Essentials, you're paying $184/month ($2,208/year) plus the $399 setup fee. TidyHQ Pro is $890/year flat with unlimited members and zero setup cost.

Your whole committee gets access from day one

MemberJungle's Essentials plan allows 1 administrator. One person. Standard allows 5. If your club has a president, secretary, treasurer, registrar, and three committee members — that's already too many for Standard. TidyHQ includes unlimited admin seats on every plan, including the free tier.

No feature gating by tier

Want an online shop? That's Standard ($199/mo). Custom forms? Standard. Poll and voting? Standard. Third-party integrations? Premium ($369/mo). MemberJungle locks core club features behind higher price tiers. TidyHQ includes all features on every plan — the difference between Free and Pro is volume limits and priority support, not missing functionality.

Governance tools that don't exist in MemberJungle

Meeting minutes with timed agendas and action items. Committee tasks assigned to roles that carry over when people change. TidyHQ handles the governance work that keeps a club compliant and organised between events. MemberJungle doesn't offer meeting or governance tools at any tier.

What MemberJungle does well

MemberJungle includes a built-in website and branded mobile app on all plans — if your club needs both its website and member portal in one tool, that's genuine value. Their higher tiers have features TidyHQ doesn't: CPD/CME logging for professional development, an online course module, membership and event certificates, a job vacancies board, and a business/sponsor directory. Photo gallery and video uploads are nice additions. If your organisation is a professional association that needs CPD tracking and certificates, MemberJungle's Premium or Ultimate tiers cover that niche.

We think honest comparisons build more trust than pretending competitors don’t exist. Try both and see which one your committee actually uses.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about using MemberJungle vs TidyHQ for membership organisations.

MemberJungle's Essentials plan caps at 250 members for $109 AUD/month ($1,308/year) plus a $399 setup fee. To reach 500 members you either upgrade to Standard at $199/month ($2,388/year) with a $599 setup fee, or pay $30/month per extra 100 members on Essentials — adding $900/year. TidyHQ Pro is $890 AUD/year flat with unlimited members and no setup fee.

MemberJungle covers memberships, events, and has a branded mobile app. But the Essentials plan only allows 1 admin seat and 1 support contact, which is a problem for committees with multiple volunteers. It also locks online shop, custom forms, voting, and third-party integrations behind higher tiers ($199-$369/month). TidyHQ includes unlimited admin seats and all features on every plan, including the free tier.

No. MemberJungle has no free tier. Their cheapest plan is Essentials at $109 AUD/month plus a $399 setup fee. TidyHQ offers a free plan with unlimited contacts, unlimited admin seats, and full features — no credit card required, no expiry.

Only on the Premium tier ($369/month) and above, which includes third-party integrations. On Essentials ($109/month) and Standard ($199/month), integrations are not available. TidyHQ includes native two-way Xero sync on the Pro plan at $890 AUD/year.

MemberJungle charges 1.2% + 69c per transaction on the Essentials tier, scaling down to 0.5% + 50c on Ultimate — all on top of Stripe processing fees. TidyHQ Pro charges 1% + 20c on top of Stripe. On a $50 membership renewal, MemberJungle Essentials takes $1.29 in platform fees versus TidyHQ Pro's 70c.
