TidyHQ vs Memberlytic
Last reviewed November 2026
Memberlytic is a Singapore-based membership platform for associations, chambers of commerce, clubs and gyms. It sells on a quote, takes no transaction fee, migrates your data for you and builds branded iOS and Android apps. TidyHQ publishes one flat price, has a free plan you can start on today, includes committee meetings and minutes, and hosts your data in Australia. If no transaction fee is what matters most, Memberlytic has the edge. If you want to know the full price before a sales call, TidyHQ does.
Where TidyHQ wins
A price you can read before anyone calls you. TidyHQ Pro is $890 AUD/year flat, on the website, for any number of members. Memberlytic publishes no prices: you get an itemised quote based on your member count and the modules you choose. A free Starter plan with unlimited members, so your committee can try TidyHQ alongside your current system without a contract. Committee governance Memberlytic does not list: meeting agendas, minutes with action items, tasks assigned to committee roles, 25 GB of document storage. Data hosted in Australia (AWS Sydney). And published customer stories from state sporting bodies and clubs, with names and numbers.
Where Memberlytic wins
Memberlytic takes no transaction fee on membership fees, donations or event payments; you pay only your payment provider's processing fee. TidyHQ adds a service fee on top of Stripe. Memberlytic also does the migration for you, and guarantees a standard switch goes live within 10 working days or your first month is free. It builds a native, branded member app for iOS and Android, where TidyHQ runs in the mobile browser. Its Xero integration is live today, where TidyHQ's is still coming. And for Singapore organisations it supports local payment methods such as PayNow and GIRO, plus PDPA-focused setup.
Best for
Clubs, associations and state bodies that want a published price, a free plan to start on, and committee meetings and minutes in the same place as their members. Particularly Australian organisations that want their data hosted in Australia.

Key differences
Know the whole price before the first call
TidyHQ Pro is $890 AUD, $690 USD or £490 a year, and that number is on the pricing page. Memberlytic quotes per organisation, based on member count and modules, with branded apps and multi-branch setups scoped separately. A quote can be fair. But a secretary who has to put a number in front of the committee on Thursday can do that with TidyHQ tonight.
Run both systems side by side for free
TidyHQ's Starter plan has unlimited members and no expiry. Import your member list, set up one membership level, and test a renewal on yourself while your current system keeps running. Nobody signs anything until the committee is happy. Memberlytic's parallel run happens inside a paid agreement.
Your committee runs in the same place
Membership is half the job. The other half is the committee meeting: the agenda, the minutes, who said they would chase the council about the lights. TidyHQ keeps agendas, minutes, action items and committee tasks next to your member records. Memberlytic does not list meeting or minutes tools.
Be honest about the fee maths
Memberlytic charges no transaction fee and TidyHQ does, so do the sum for your club. An Australian club collecting $36,000 in membership fees from 180 members pays TidyHQ Pro $890 plus about $396 in service fees: roughly $1,286 a year. Both platforms pass on card processing. Put that number next to Memberlytic's quote and you will know which is cheaper for you.
What Memberlytic does well
Memberlytic takes no transaction fee on membership fees, donations or event payments; you pay only your payment provider's processing fee. TidyHQ adds a service fee on top of Stripe. Memberlytic also does the migration for you, and guarantees a standard switch goes live within 10 working days or your first month is free. It builds a native, branded member app for iOS and Android, where TidyHQ runs in the mobile browser. Its Xero integration is live today, where TidyHQ's is still coming. And for Singapore organisations it supports local payment methods such as PayNow and GIRO, plus PDPA-focused setup.
We think honest comparisons build more trust than pretending competitors don’t exist. Try both and see which one your committee actually uses.
Ongoing development
We have shipped every month since 2008.

The public record is dated and checkable: 19 new features and 66 updates since November 2025 alone, the most recent on 23 September 2026.
Some of what landed
We have not tried to summarise Memberlytic’s release history here, because we do not have reliable data on it and would rather not guess. Go and look for their changelog too. If a vendor cannot show you what they shipped last quarter, that is worth knowing before you sign anything.
Is TidyHQ right for you?
TidyHQ is the better choice if…
- You want a published price and a free plan, not a sales quote
- Your committee runs meetings, minutes and tasks and wants them next to the member list
- You want your members' data hosted in Australia
- You are a state or national body that needs reporting across clubs (TidyConnect)
- You would rather import your own data today than wait for a migration slot
Memberlytic might be better if…
- •A zero transaction fee matters more than a published price
- •You want someone else to do the migration, with a go-live date guaranteed
- •Your members expect a branded app in the App Store and Google Play
- •You need Xero today, not soon
- •You are in Singapore and collect dues by PayNow or GIRO
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about using Memberlytic vs TidyHQ for membership organisations.
Memberlytic does not publish prices. It quotes an annual subscription per organisation based on member count and the modules you choose, and says quotes arrive within one business day. It charges no transaction fee; your payment provider's processing fee still applies. TidyHQ Pro is $890 AUD, $690 USD or £490 a year, flat, with a 1% + 20c service fee on payments plus Stripe processing. The Starter plan is free, with a 3% + 20c service fee.
It depends on how much money your club collects online. TidyHQ's subscription is fixed, and its service fee grows with your takings. As an example, an Australian club collecting $36,000 in membership fees from 180 members pays about $1,286 a year on TidyHQ Pro ($890 plus around $396 in service fees), before card processing. Ask Memberlytic for a quote at the same member count and compare the two totals.
TidyHQ's import is self-serve. You upload a CSV of your contacts, then bulk-import them into membership levels with their existing start and expiry dates. You can switch off renewal emails while you import, and roll back an import of new contacts within a week. If you would rather someone walked you through it, book a demo.
Not a native app store app. TidyHQ's member portal runs in the phone's browser and can be added to the home screen. Digital membership cards on Pro go into Apple Wallet and Google Wallet and update automatically when a membership renews. Memberlytic builds branded iOS and Android apps, scoped and priced in its proposal.
Yes. The Starter plan is free with unlimited members and no expiry. Import your member list, set up your membership levels, and run a test renewal while your current system keeps running. Upgrade to Pro, or don't, once the committee has seen it work.
