Novi AMS prices based on your organization’s annual revenue — which means the more you succeed, the more you pay. AMO prices on contacts, not your income. Every feature included. Real human support under 2 hours. Starting at $95/month.
Novi has earned a strong reputation among associations that can afford it. But revenue-based pricing, a steep implementation timeline, and limitations for smaller teams create real friction — especially as you grow.
Novi charges based on your organization’s annual revenue — not your member count or feature usage. That means a successful membership drive or a strong event season can directly increase your software bill. AMO’s pricing is based on contacts, not your income.
Novi starts at approximately $755/month — even their own customers acknowledge the price is high for what’s included. For a small-staff association, that’s $9,000+ per year before implementation costs. AMO delivers comparable core functionality starting at $1,140/year.
Novi users report a significant learning curve — one that’s especially painful for small-staff teams where one person is expected to master the platform while still fulfilling their core role. AMO’s 4 live training sessions cover your whole team, not just a designated admin.
Revenue-based pricing means the platform gets more expensive as your association succeeds. That’s backwards. AMO believes your software cost should be based on how many contacts you manage — not how well you’re doing your job. As you grow your member count, your AMO price scales predictably. There are no surprise bills tied to a good fundraising year or strong event attendance.

For Comparison
Pricing grows with your organization’s annual revenue
We began looking for a better way to capture, house and track our membership and their dues. Data that once took weeks to sort and verify, now happens with a few simple key strokes!
The AMO software is user-friendly, easy to learn, and can essentially be used out of the box. The software is robust and has a lot of features including custom fields for tracking information specific to your organization.
AMO’s support team is outstanding. Working in a two person office, time is precious to us and when we get in a pinch, their team is there to offer a solution in a timely manner.
Switching AMS platforms is a big decision. AMO makes it manageable — our team handles migration, configuration, and live training so you’re not doing it alone while also trying to do your job.
Your onboarding specialist takes time to understand your association’s structure, membership types, dues schedule, and events — before a single setting is configured.
We import your member database, configure dues structures, and set up your WordPress integration. You hand us the data — we do the rest. No internal IT required.
Your full staff attends four live, recorded sessions covering member management, dues, events, and website functionality. No single person has to become “the expert” alone.
Every member of your team can reach AMO support directly with a question. No ticket queues, no designated super admins. Free email support and 30-minute check-ins, indefinitely.
