Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Glue Up

  • Pricing is not published, and quotes vary substantially by region, which makes budgeting harder than with the published North American tools
  • Membership management is less deep than the dedicated association management systems, reflecting its event-management origins
  • Smaller North American and European ecosystem, so integrations and local references are thinner outside Asia
  • Fundraising and donor management are weak, so charities whose main activity is giving should look elsewhere
  • The breadth means individual modules are good rather than excellent when compared against specialist tools

Hubilo

  • Service discontinued in September 2025; no longer available for new customers
  • Minimum entry price of $15,000/year positioned it exclusively for enterprise customers

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Glue Up: Where is Glue Up strongest?

Asia-Pacific. Local payment methods, WeChat integration, regional data residency and in-region support are things the North American platforms cannot match there.

Hubilo: What happened to Hubilo?

Hubilo was acquired by Brandlive in September 2025. Existing Hubilo customers were automatically migrated to Brandlive's new Virtual PRO platform.

Source
Glue Up: Was it called something else?

Yes, EventBank. The rename to Glue Up reflected the shift from pure event management to membership and engagement.

Hubilo: What were Hubilo's pricing plans?

Hubilo offered tiered pricing: Pro 1 at $15,000/year (1 admin, 1,000 attendee cap), Pro 4 at $50,000/year (4 admins, 4,000 attendee cap), and Pro 10 at $125,000/year (10 admins, 10,000 attendee cap).

Source
Glue Up: What does it cost?

Not published, and it varies by region. Expect an annual contract quoted on member count and modules.

Hubilo: What platforms did Hubilo support?

Hubilo was available as a web-based platform supporting desktop, mobile, and tablet access for hosting and attending virtual events and webinars.

Source
Glue Up: Is the member app real?

Yes, a branded native app rather than a mobile web view. For associations whose members network at events, it is one of the strongest reasons to choose it.

Hubilo: What engagement features did Hubilo offer?

Hubilo provided live polls, Q&A sessions, chat rooms, AI-driven networking lounges, breakout sessions, and sponsor management tools with virtual booths for lead capture.

Source
Glue Up: Should a US-only association consider it?

It can, but Wild Apricot and MemberClicks have published pricing, larger local ecosystems and more local references. The Asia-Pacific advantage is the reason to pick Glue Up.

Hubilo: Can new customers still sign up for Hubilo?

No. Hubilo was discontinued following the Brandlive acquisition in September 2025. New customers should evaluate Brandlive's Virtual PRO platform or alternative vendors.

Source
Hubilo: What is the lowest entry price for Hubilo?

The lowest Hubilo plan was Pro 1 at $15,000 per year, making it enterprise-focused with no SMB or starter tier.
