Why ClubCP is free, and what that means for your club

Most club management software bills per member, gates the useful features behind a paid tier, and pushes you to upgrade the moment your community grows. Small clubs end up running on spreadsheets, group chats, and goodwill. ClubCP exists because that's a bad trade.

What you get

• Unlimited members
• Unlimited events
• Free and paid membership plans
• Stripe and PayPal payment routing, with money going to you
• Posts, announcements, and member directory
• Admin insights, transaction tracking, member management
• No “contact sales,” no upsell tiers

What the catch is

It's built and maintained by one person on his own time. There is no SLA, no guaranteed uptime, and no support contract. Responses to bugs and feature requests are best-effort. If you need 24/7 on-call enterprise support, this isn't the right tool. If you need a solid platform for a real community of a few hundred people, it is.

How it stays online

Servers, domains, email delivery, error monitoring, and time all cost something. Comparable hosted club platforms charge $200–$500 a month for what ClubCP does for free. If ClubCP saves your club that cost, sponsoring the project on GitHub for a fraction of it keeps the lights on and buys time to keep improving it.
