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

Qgiv

  • Qgiv has been renamed Bloomerang Fundraising and qgiv.com/pricing now redirects to bloomerang.com/pricing
  • The fundraising product starts at $40 per month billed annually but must be purchased as part of a bundle with Bloomerang CRM, which itself starts at $125 per month
  • All published prices are billed annually with no monthly billing option shown
  • The full Giving Platform starts at $242 per month billed annually
  • Every listed price is a starting price and the page directs buyers to Contact Sales for actual pricing

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.

Qgiv: How much does QGIV cost?

QGIV's website redirects to Bloomerang, which offers pricing starting at $40/month for Fundraising, $119/month for Volunteer, $125/month for CRM, or $242/month for the all-in-one Giving 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.

Qgiv: What is Bloomerang's pricing model?

Bloomerang uses constituent-based pricing where costs scale with the number of records/contacts in your database, not per user. All plans include unlimited users.

Source
Glue Up: What does it cost?

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

Qgiv: What does the Giving Platform include?

The Giving Platform at $242/month (billed annually) is an all-in-one solution including fundraising, CRM, volunteer management, Prospect AI, and predictive insights with unlimited users.

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.

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.
