The Guild
What The Guild is
The Guild is web-based association management software for trade and professional associations, chambers of commerce, and similar member organizations. It keeps searchable company and people records, configurable membership types, and membership status controls. Its Finance module tracks invoices, payments, receipts, credits, and reports for member companies. Associations can publish member directories and event listings for visitors without sign-in. Event pages show registration windows and status, but online registration and payment collection are not available. Guild Administrator and Guild Superadmin roles control staff access, with account changes recorded in an activity history. Sign-in uses email and password, with optional two-factor authentication; single sign-on and social login are unsupported in this phase. New associations receive a 30-day Seedling trial with full access and no credit card. Assisted migration is available during onboarding. Seedling costs $99 a month for up to 75 member companies; Growing costs $199 a month for up to 250.
