SorrelSites vs MemberClicks
Both can run your membership. Only one moves you in for free and updates your website for you. MemberClicks is built for mid-size trade associations that want everything bundled — and it comes with quote-based pricing and contracts that punish you for leaving. SorrelSites is the opposite.

Is SorrelSites a better fit than MemberClicks for a small organization?
For a small organization, SorrelSites is usually the better fit than MemberClicks, because MemberClicks is built and priced for mid-size trade associations: its published plans start around $3,500 a year for MC Trade and $4,500 a year for MC Professional, with the final price set by quote and setup quoted on top. SorrelSites starts at $99 a month for up to 100 active members, month to month, with no setup fee, no cut of your dues, and no penalty if you decide to leave. Where MemberClicks genuinely wins is bundled breadth — a mid-size trade association that specifically wants the Higher Logic community or an LMS plus a job board in one ecosystem is the org MemberClicks was built for.
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 rebuilds your website; later you change your site just by describing it, preview first, then publish.
- MemberClicks
- Its parent's MomentiveIQ is pointed at scoring and sorting members, not serving them — it won't welcome people curious about joining, move you in, or change your website for you.

When is MemberClicks the better choice?
Sometimes it is, and we'd rather you land in the right place than the wrong one. MemberClicks can be the better choice if:
- You're a mid-size trade association that specifically wants the Higher Logic community or LMS plus a job board in one ecosystem.
- You're committed to the broader Momentive ecosystem and bundled breadth matters more than published, month-to-month pricing.
