Hivebrite's pricing starts five figures annually — too much for most SG orgs
Many features overlap with what a well-built member platform already does
Customisation requires their services team and long lead times
Enterprise contracts lock you in for a year minimum

Migration from Hivebrite
If you're leaving Hivebrite, we offer structured data migration and help you identify which features you actually used so nothing important is lost in the move.
Frequently asked
We offer member-to-member messaging and a member directory. We don't replicate the full social-feed experience — we've found most communities use external channels (LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Slack) for that layer anyway.
Yes. Members, events, and content are migratable. We walk you through feature mapping so the transition is smooth.
We focus on the core of member management and don't try to be a full-scale community platform. That lets us keep pricing accessible for Singapore-sized organisations.
