Considering a move from Hivebrite?
Hivebrite is a community platform used by large alumni networks and global associations. MemberGuard focuses on membership operations — records, renewals, payments, events and cards — with published SGD pricing.
Why teams look for a Hivebrite alternative
Their pricing is quoted per customer rather than published
They need membership fees, GIRO and Xero more than a social feed
Implementation depends on the vendor's services team
They want member data hosted in Singapore

Frequently asked
No. MemberGuard doesn't offer a social feed, member-to-member messaging or a searchable member directory. If those are central to you, Hivebrite may suit you better.
Yes, member records and history can be migrated. Community content such as posts and messages has no equivalent in MemberGuard.
We focus on membership operations and don't build a community platform, which keeps the product smaller.
