Klubraum is the free app for chat, calendar and polls — Membear is association software for members, fees, QR bills and TWINT.
Klubraum replaces WhatsApp groups with structured chat, calendar and polls — free and ad-free. Membear solves the other association problem: member data, annual fees and payment status for treasurers.

Prices based on publicly available tariffs (May 2026) for an association with 150 members. Payment fees and add-ons not included.
Klubraum is free — no subscription. Membear is also CHF 0 in the core version. The difference is not price but scope: Klubraum has no invoices, QR bills or fee reconciliation.
Your board needs clarity on open fees before the AGM, wants to send QR bills and let members pay via TWINT — not just calendar and chat.
Your association wants internal communication, training and events in a calendar and to drop WhatsApp groups — without treasurer workflow or annual invoice runs.
Many associations use Klubraum alongside Membear: app for daily life, Membear for members and fees. Switching 'from Klubraum' usually means adding association software, not replacing it.
App or association software — or both?
Manage members and annual invoices free — alongside Klubraum or instead of Excel.
