Your current platform was built in North America twenty years ago. Clubly is the modern alternative: members, meetings, grants, projects, payments. Everything included, nothing paywalled. Built for Australian and South Pacific service clubs.
For Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis, Zonta, and Apex clubs across Australia and the South Pacific
A beautiful member directory with self-service profiles, smart attendance tracking with QR, NFC, and GPS check-in, and engagement insights that help you spot who's drifting before they leave. ClubRunner charges extra for barcode scanning. DaCdb locks attendance reports behind a premium tier. Clubly includes everything.
The only platform with full grant management at club level. ClubRunner sells grants as a paid add-on, limited to districts. DaCdb has no grants module at all. Clubly gives every club template-driven applications, deadline tracking, acquittal workflows, and DDF allocation. Plus service project planning with impact measurement — a feature neither competitor offers.
Drag-and-drop newsletter builder, smart distribution lists, email open tracking, push notifications, and in-app messaging. No more wondering if anyone read the bulletin.
Online event registration with custom forms, guest tickets, and QR code check-in. ClubRunner charges extra for custom event forms (MyEventRunner add-on) and has no Australian payment gateways. Clubly includes Stripe AU, PayTo, and BPAY with GST handling, multi-currency (AUD, NZD, FJD, PGK), and Xero/MYOB integration as standard.
A native mobile app that works without internet. ClubRunner's app requires connectivity and lacks full feature parity. DaCdb has no native app at all — just a browser site. Clubly is offline-first, with full parity between mobile and web, and bidirectional calendar sync with Google, Outlook, and Apple Calendar.
Legacy platforms were designed in North America twenty years ago. Clubly was designed for the clubs using it today.
ClubRunner and DaCdb both charge per member with annual contracts. Clubly is a flat monthly fee. Your 20-member club and your 200-member club pay the same. Growing your club should never cost more.
ClubRunner charges extra for Grants, Enhanced Committees, Enhanced Volunteers, Barcode Scanner, MyEventRunner, and Multi-lingual Support. That's 20+ features behind a paywall. Clubly includes all of them in every plan.
ClubRunner is based in Canada, DaCdb in the US. Neither offers Australian payment gateways, AEST support, or AU Privacy Act compliance. Clubly is built in Australia with dd/mm/yyyy dates, AUD/NZD/FJD/PGK currency, PayTo, BPAY, and Stripe AU.
DaCdb goes offline during the Rotary year changeover. Clubly handles 1 July transitions seamlessly — officer changeovers, permission updates, and data handoffs happen automatically with zero downtime.
We studied every feature of both platforms. Here's what you're missing — and what you're overpaying for.
Clubly is not locked to one organisation. Whether you are Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis, Zonta, or Apex, the platform adapts to your structure, your terminology, and your workflows.
