OrgHQ vs SilkStart · $60/month billed annually, everything included

Considering a SilkStart alternative?

A hosted association-management platform, often used by multi-chapter organizations. Here's how OrgHQ's approach differs — not feature-by-feature, but in the model itself.

OrgHQ	SilkStart's typical model
OrgHQ: Self-serve from the first click: create a workspace free, no demo call, and browse a live demo site without signing up	SilkStart: Sales-led onboarding — evaluation usually starts with a demo call
OrgHQ: Public flat pricing — $60/month billed annually, or $75 month-to-month; cancel anytime	SilkStart: Pricing quoted per organization, typically annually
OrgHQ: Deliberately focused on what small associations use weekly: events, payments, renewals, email, CE certificates	SilkStart: A broad feature set aimed at larger, multi-chapter associations

Switching from SilkStart is a short ride

Export from SilkStart One file of your members — their own export button.

Import to OrgHQ Statuses and expiry dates arrive intact — we read their format.

Members sign in Just their email — no accounts to create, no passwords. Cancel the old bill One flat price from here — nothing else to keep paying.

Bring your member list as a CSV and your next event; you can be taking registrations the same day. If your organization is a large multi-chapter federation, a bigger AMS may genuinely fit better — OrgHQ is built for the single-chapter association that wants zero administration.

Or let us do it: free concierge migration — ask us to move you in — we reply by email and you attach your export to that reply — and your trial workspace comes back populated, usually within two business days. Taking it to your board? Print the one-pager.

What the Full plan includes

A branded website at your own address in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Filipino, Vietnamese, or several together, events with online registration and card payments, membership plans and renewals, a passwordless member hub, post-event evaluations with printable CE certificates, an on-demand learning library with quizzes and CE credit from recordings, a private board file library for agendas and minutes, news and broadcast email with unsubscribe handling, and CSV export of your data anytime. One flat price: $60/month billed annually, or $75 month-to-month — or, if your events are the point, the Events plan at $39 per CE event with no monthly fee, which has all of it except membership, dues, and renewals; the job board; the community forum; and the member store. Online payments carry 3.5% ($1.75 on a $50 registration) on top of Stripe’s processing fee. Free to start.
