Pricing, in the open
Three plans. One does the work for you.
Free and Organizer are honest toolkits: a real website, a shared inbox, free money collection, and full lead tracking. You still do the answering and the reminding. Guide hands that work to your AI assistant. Every plan is set up by the assistant in about ten minutes, no card to start, and your data is always yours to take with you.

Questions, answered plainly.
- Is the free plan really free?
- Yes. The free plan is free forever, and you never enter a card to start. You get a real website, a shared inbox, free money collection, and full lead tracking: every family who fills out your interest form lands in a pipeline you can actually work, from first hello through joined, with nothing slipping through. We earn our keep two ways: some packs choose a paid plan for broadcast messaging or to let the AI assistant do the work, and when a family pays an event fee or dues through MemberCairn they cover one small service fee at checkout. That is it.
- Do families pay fees?
- Only when they pay you online, and only a small one. A family paying an event fee or dues through MemberCairn sees a single service fee at checkout, the way a school-lunch site or an event-ticket site works. It covers card processing plus MemberCairn, and paying straight from a bank account keeps it lowest (well under a dollar on a typical campout fee). You can flip a switch to absorb the fee yourself instead. It is the same on every plan, free or paid, because we never want a free pack’s parents paying more than anyone else.
- Where does the money go?
- Into your pack’s own bank account, connected once by your treasurer through Stripe, the same payment company behind millions of businesses. MemberCairn never holds your funds. Payouts, refunds, and bank details live in your pack’s own Stripe dashboard, so the money trail belongs to the pack, not to us.
- What is the difference between the plans?
- Free gives every pack a real front door, full lead tracking, a shared inbox, and money collection. Organizer adds the tools a whole committee needs: announcements to everyone, unlimited leader logins, attendance, and a bigger site. Guide hands the ongoing work to your AI assistant: it answers new families, welcomes each one, chases unpaid RSVPs, and keeps your site fresh, so the volunteers get their evenings back. The honest shorthand: Free and Organizer give you better tools for work you still do yourself. Guide is the plan where the work starts doing itself.
- Can we change plans later?
- Upgrades, anytime: they take effect right away. Paid plans are annual, so a move down happens at renewal, not mid-year: if Guide has not earned its keep, you simply do not renew it, and your account moves to the Free plan at the end of your term. Nothing is deleted, your roster and site and history stay put, and your data is always yours to export.
- What if we cancel the founder offer before Oct 1?
- You are never charged the second payment, and you owe nothing more. Your account moves to the Free plan, which is free forever, and you keep everything: your website, your roster, your history, and the .org web address we registered for you. Nothing is deleted. If your site has more pages or photos than the Free plan includes, the newest ones are simply kept read-only until you are back under the limit or move up again, never removed. The .org address stays yours; like any web address it renews once a year after that, and you can keep it or let it go. And your data is always yours to export.
