SorrelSites vs Boardable

SorrelSites runs the board and the membership in one place, and keeps running as your board turns over. Boardable is a board portal, not a membership platform: it has no member database, no dues, and no event registration. If your organization runs both a board and a membership, Boardable is a second subscription alongside whatever holds your members — and it's priced per person on your board.

Board portal (board management software) — priced per user, not per organization

Is SorrelSites a better fit than Boardable for a small organization?

Boardable is the better fit for a staffed organization whose board has real compliance obligations and budget for a dedicated portal, and SorrelSites is the better fit for a volunteer-run membership organization that wants the board and the members in one place on one bill. The structural difference is not features, it is shape: Boardable is priced per user — $20.99, $29.99 or $35.99 per person per month, billed annually — so a twelve-person board on its Professional plan is about $4,300 a year, and the tier that includes AI-drafted minutes is about $5,200 a year. SorrelSites is $99 a month for up to 100 active members, which is one price for the whole organization and includes the board. Boardable also does not manage a membership: its own site describes no member database, no dues or renewals, and no event registration, so an organization with members pays Boardable and a membership platform separately, and neither one knows what the other holds.

Comparison of SorrelSites and Boardable
	SorrelSites	Boardable
Who the AI actually serves	Sprout, SorrelSites' AI, does the org's real work — it drafts board minutes, event pages, and website updates for you to approve, and it welcomes people curious about joining in your org's voice. Behind the scenes it also moves you in and reimagines your website — it asks four short questions about what the site should do and builds the new design from your answers; afterward you change your site just by describing it, preview first, then publish.	Boardable does ship AI-drafted minutes and transcripts — but only on its top Professional+ tier, at $35.99 per person per month, and it works on board meetings alone.
Running the board	Your board runs here too. Sprout drafts the minutes — motions, votes, and action items on the record — from your notes, a transcript, or the recap email you forward to your organization's own Sprout address. Approved minutes lock, follow-ups chase their owners, and every new director gets a briefing built from the last year of minutes.	This is Boardable's whole product, and it is good at it: agenda builder, board packets, document center, task manager, polls, discussions, eSignatures and a mobile app.
Running your membership	Members, dues, renewals, events and your public website are the same system the board runs in — so the board is looking at the organization's real numbers.	Not covered. Boardable's site describes no member database, no dues or renewals, and no event registration.
How you're charged	One price for the organization, month to month. Adding a director costs nothing.	Per person on your board, billed annually — $20.99, $29.99 or $35.99 each per month depending on tier.
What a 12-person board pays	$99 a month — and that is the whole platform, members included.	About $360 a month on Professional, or about $432 a month on the Professional+ tier that includes AI minutes.
Planning & running events	Paste last year's planning spreadsheet and Sprout turns it into a live checklist with owners and due dates. On the day, check people in by QR from your phone — per session, on a conference day — and push announcements, run live polls, and take floor questions from one screen, with no second app. The thank-you sends itself afterward, and the plan stays with your organization, not on a volunteer's laptop.	Board and committee meetings are covered well. Member-facing events — registration, ticketing, check-in — are not part of the product.
Reaching your members	Reach members by email and a notification on their phone — each member picks the channels they want.	Communication is aimed at the board — discussions, notifications and reminders for directors, not your membership.
Trying it	Month to month, no setup fee, and Sprout does the moving when you join.	A 14-day trial, then annual billing. There is no free tier.
What it costs	$99 a month for up to 100 active members, $199 for up to 300, $399 for up to 750, $699 for up to 2,000.	$20.99 / $29.99 / $35.99 per person per month, billed annually — so the price follows the size of your board.

Who the AI actually serves

SorrelSites: Sprout, SorrelSites' AI, does the org's real work — it drafts board minutes, event pages, and website updates for you to approve, and it welcomes people curious about joining in your org's voice. Behind the scenes it also moves you in and reimagines your website — it asks four short questions about what the site should do and builds the new design from your answers; afterward you change your site just by describing it, preview first, then publish.
Boardable: Boardable does ship AI-drafted minutes and transcripts — but only on its top Professional+ tier, at $35.99 per person per month, and it works on board meetings alone.

Sprout drafts the minutes — motions, votes, and action items on the record — from your notes, a transcript, or the recap email you forward to your organization's own Sprout address. Approved minutes lock, follow-ups chase their owners, and every new director gets a briefing built from the last year of minutes.
Boardable: This is Boardable's whole product, and it is good at it: agenda builder, board packets, document center, task manager, polls, discussions, eSignatures and a mobile app.

Running your membership

SorrelSites: Members, dues, renewals, events and your public website are the same system the board runs in — so the board is looking at the organization's real numbers.
Boardable: Not covered. Boardable's site describes no member database, no dues or renewals, and no event registration.

How you're charged

SorrelSites: One price for the organization, month to month. Adding a director costs nothing.
Boardable: Per person on your board, billed annually — $20.99, $29.99 or $35.99 each per month depending on tier.

What a 12-person board pays

Boardable: About $360 a month on Professional, or about $432 a month on the Professional+ tier that includes AI minutes.

Planning & running events

SorrelSites: Paste last year's planning spreadsheet and Sprout turns it into a live checklist with owners and due dates. On the day, check people in by QR from your phone — per session, on a conference day — and push announcements, run live polls, and take floor questions from one screen, with no second app. The thank-you sends itself afterward, and the plan stays with your organization, not on a volunteer's laptop.

Reaching your members

SorrelSites: Reach members by email and a notification on their phone — each member picks the channels they want.
Boardable: Communication is aimed at the board — discussions, notifications and reminders for directors, not your membership.

Trying it

SorrelSites: Month to month, no setup fee, and Sprout does the moving when you join.
Boardable: A 14-day trial, then annual billing. There is no free tier.

What it costs

SorrelSites: $99 a month for up to 100 active members, $199 for up to 300, $399 for up to 750, $699 for up to 2,000.
Boardable: $20.99 / $29.99 / $35.99 per person per month, billed annually — so the price follows the size of your board.

Both SorrelSites and Boardable draft minutes with AI, and the difference is what it costs and what it can see: Boardable gates AI minutes to its top Professional+ tier at $35.99 per person per month and scopes them to board meetings, while SorrelSites includes Sprout's minutes drafting for every organization on every plan and points the same AI at event pages, website updates and welcoming people curious about joining.

Boardable is a purpose-built board portal with an agenda builder, board packets, a document center, task manager, polls, eSignatures and a mobile app, while SorrelSites runs the board as part of the membership platform — Sprout drafts the minutes with motions and votes on the record, approved minutes lock, follow-ups chase their owners, and new directors get a briefing built from the last year of minutes.

SorrelSites runs the membership and the board in one system — members, dues, renewals, events and the public website alongside the board's own work — while Boardable's own site describes no member database, no dues or renewals and no event registration, so an organization with members needs a separate platform for all of it.

Boardable charges per user — $20.99, $29.99 or $35.99 per person per month, billed annually — so every director you add raises the bill, while SorrelSites charges one price for the whole organization month to month and adding a director costs nothing.

A twelve-person board costs about $4,300 a year on Boardable's Professional plan and about $5,200 a year on the Professional+ tier that includes AI minutes, while the same board is included in SorrelSites' $99 a month — about $1,188 a year for the entire platform, members and website and events as well as the board.

SorrelSites turns last year's event-planning spreadsheet into a live checklist with owners and due dates and runs the event day from one screen with QR check-in, announcements and floor questions, while Boardable covers board and committee meetings and does not handle member-facing events, registration or ticketing.

SorrelSites reaches your whole membership by email and by a notification on their phone with each member choosing the channels they want, while Boardable's discussions and reminders are aimed at the people on your board.

Boardable offers a 14-day trial and then bills annually with no free tier, while SorrelSites is month to month with no setup fee and no annual commitment.

Boardable is $20.99, $29.99 or $35.99 per person per month billed annually, so its price follows how many people sit on your board, while SorrelSites is $99 a month for up to 100 active members, $199 for up to 300 and $399 for up to 750, billed month to month and sized by active memberships instead of seats.

When is Boardable the better choice?

Sometimes it is, and we'd rather you land in the right place than the wrong one. Boardable can be the better choice if:

You're a staffed organization whose board has real fiduciary or compliance obligations — Boardable's eSignatures, governance forms and board packets are built for exactly that, and we don't try to match them.
Your board needs a dedicated, secure board packet and document archive as its own product, separate from anything member-facing.
You have no membership to run — a foundation or a governing body with directors but no members — in which case a board portal is the right shape of tool and we are not.
