Built for organizations that shouldn't be paying for software yet
- Small clubs, teams, and societies running on a spreadsheet and a group chat
- Volunteer-run nonprofits with dues under a few thousand dollars a year
- New organizations in their first season, before there's a budget line for tools
- Treasurers who want one place to see who has paid without asking anyone for a card number
What you get for nothing
The free tier isn't a demo. It's the full record-keeping half of DuesBox: your roster, your dues plans, your renewal dates, and your payment history, all in one place any officer can open.
- Unlimited members — no cap, no per-member pricing
- Unlimited dues plans: monthly, annual, or lifetime
- Automatic renewal-date tracking, rolled forward when a payment is recorded
- A personal dues page for every member, no login required
- Manual payment recording for cash, checks, and transfer apps
- Emailed PDF receipts after every payment
Members can still pay online on the free plan
You don't have to upgrade to take card payments. On Free, a member paying through their dues link covers a 5% service fee at checkout, which pays the card processing — so the software still costs your organization nothing. Record a check instead and there's no fee at all.
- No monthly bill, no setup cost, no card required to open an account
- The 5% only ever applies to online payments made on the Free plan
- Pro removes the member-facing fee entirely at $29/month
Where the free plan stops
Free tracks and collects; Pro does the chasing. If you're spending evenings sending reminder messages or typing in the same card details every year, that's the moment upgrading pays for itself.
- Automatic card charging on each renewal date
- Scheduled reminder emails before, on, and after the due date
- Spreadsheet import and CSV export
- A branded public member site with events, news, and paid ticketing
- Custom domain and no member-facing service fee
No trap in the trial
Every new account starts with 14 days of Pro so you can see the automated side working with your real members. When the trial ends, nothing is deleted and nothing is charged — you either subscribe or continue on Free with your roster intact.

What it costs
Free forever: unlimited members, dues plans, member dues pages, and manual payment records. Pro is $29/month and adds automatic card collection, automated renewal reminders, bulk import, a branded club website on your own domain, event ticketing, and a public join page. Agency is $79/month for multiple organizations and admins. New signups get 14 days of Pro to try it.
Questions people ask
- Is DuesBox really free, or is it a trial?
- The Free plan is free forever, with no member limit and no expiry. You can track unlimited members, create dues plans, give every member their own dues page, record cash and check payments, and email receipts without paying us anything. New accounts start on a 14-day Pro trial; when it ends you either move to Pro or stay on Free — you're never forced to enter a card.
- What's the catch on the free plan?
- There is no catch and no card required, but there is one cost your members see: if a member pays online on the Free plan, a 5% service fee is added at checkout to cover card processing. Payments you record manually — cash, check, or a transfer app — cost nothing at all. Pro ($29/month) removes that member-facing fee entirely.
- What do I give up compared with Pro?
- Free covers tracking and manual collection. Pro adds the automation: automatic card charging on renewal, scheduled reminder emails, spreadsheet import, CSV export, your branded public member site with events and news, paid event ticketing, and a custom domain.
- How many members can I have on the free plan?
- As many as you like. We don't cap the roster, because a club shouldn't have to start paying just for growing. You upgrade when you want the work done for you, not when you cross a member count.
- Can I move off my spreadsheet without losing anything?
- Yes. Add members by hand on Free, or upload your spreadsheet in one go on Pro. Either way your roster stays yours — Pro exports members and payment history to CSV whenever you want it.
