Questions about free association software

What is truly free — and what needs one-time setup.

Is Membear really free?
Yes — the core version is free forever with no member limit. You pay no monthly or annual software fee.
What does zahls.ch cost me then?
zahls.ch is the Swiss payment service for online invoices (TWINT, card). You set it up once before sending invoices. Transaction fees apply per payment — not a Membear subscription.
Are there hidden limits on the free tier?
No member cap. Unlike ClubDesk Free (50 members) or paid alternatives you can manage all members — free.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Create a free workspace and invite your board — no payment details required.
When does paid software make sense?
When you need association accounting, a website builder or team statistics — then Webling, ClubDesk or SportMember are alternatives. For member management and fees Membear is enough for free.
