The systems in detail
Membly
Best for: associations that want everything in one app
Price: From 299 SEK/mo · Web, iOS, Android (PWA)
Membly brings member register, events, chat, feed and payments into one app, positioned as a calm, private alternative to Facebook groups. Built and hosted in the EU.
Pros
All-in-one: members, events, chat, feed and payments
Groups — a voice part, class or section — with a chat, calendar and feed of its own
Low flat price — every member uses the app free
GDPR-secure, built in the EU, no ads or algorithms
Cons
Newer vendor with a shorter track record
Fewer deep accounting integrations than the oldest systems
Föreningssupport
Best for: federations and fee-heavy administration
Price: From 373 SEK/mo
An established membership system with strong invoicing, donation handling, payments and statistics. Often aimed at federations and admin-heavy associations.
Pros
Deep invoicing, donations and payments
Proven with federations and larger associations
Member portal and statistics
Cons
No built-in chat or social feed
Admin-focused — less of a community feel
Föreningshuset
Best for: associations that want to outsource the back office
Price: Base + services (quote)
Combines a membership system with optional office and accounting services — administration, support, bookkeeping and board fees. Aimed at associations that want to outsource the whole back office, not just buy software.
Pros
Office and finance can be included as a service
OCR, Swish, e-invoice and direct debit
Fortnox integration, long track record
Cons
Quote-based with no public price list
No built-in chat or social feed
MyClub
Best for: member register, invoicing and a website
Price: From 699 SEK/mo
A membership system with register, invoicing, activities, member cards and a website. Members pay the association directly, and it is used by both sports and general associations.
Pros
Complete member and invoicing toolkit
Built-in website, app and Fortnox integration
Broad support for association types
Cons
Higher starting price
Per-transaction and per-card fees apply
Memlist
Best for: register hygiene and digital membership cards
Price: Free tier + paid
A member register focused on clean data: SPAR-updated addresses, family and guardian links, automatic renewal links by email/SMS and an optional digital membership card in its own app. Not a bookkeeping program.
Pros
SPAR-verified addresses and dynamic fields
Digital membership card in a white-label app
Free tier to start on
Cons
No built-in chat or social feed
No bookkeeping — focused on register and renewals
Antribe
Best for: cost-conscious associations
Price: 0 SEK + 1.45% per paid invoice
A transaction-based system with no fixed monthly fee — the association pays a share per paid invoice. Appeals to small, price-sensitive associations.
Pros
No fixed fee — pay per payment
Simple member and invoicing flow
Low barrier to start
Cons
No community features like chat or feed
Transaction fee can get expensive at high volume
Facebook group + spreadsheet
Best for: the very smallest, brand-new associations
Price: Free
The most common free setup: a closed Facebook group for communication and a spreadsheet for members. Often enough until the association grows.
Pros
Free and familiar to many
Quick to get started
Cons
No member register or fee handling
Algorithmic, ad-driven, mixes private life with the association
Data outside the EU and hard to keep GDPR-compliant
How to choose the right system
Small and brand-new: start free and move into a system once admin gets too heavy.
Lots of invoicing and finance: pick a system with deep invoicing and grant handling.
Want community without Facebook: pick a system with built-in chat and feed.
Care about privacy: pick a system built and hosted in the EU that doesn’t sell data.
Frequently asked questions
Which is the best association system?
It depends on the association. Föreningssupport and MyClub are strong on administration and invoicing; Föreningshuset suits those who want to outsource office and finance; Memlist is sharp on register hygiene and digital membership cards; Antribe is cheapest at low volume; Membly unites community, administration and payments in one app. A small new association can often run on free tools for a while.
How much does an association system cost?
Per month: Membly from 299 SEK, Föreningssupport from 373 SEK, MyClub from 699 SEK. Föreningshuset quotes a base plus services, and Memlist has a free tier with paid steps. Antribe is free with 1.45% per paid invoice. A Facebook group is free but lacks member and fee handling.
Which system is the best alternative to a Facebook group?
Systems with built-in chat and a chronological feed give the association its own private space without algorithms or ads. Among those compared, Membly is the one that combines this with a member register and payments.
