fellos is a SaaS platform for membership-based organizations such as clubs, associations, lodges, and chapters. It focuses on solving management challenges for organizations with real hierarchical structures. Unlike traditional membership systems that mainly maintain contact lists, it emphasizes unified management of chapters, regions, departments, officer chains, approval workflows, and member communities.
Based on the available content, fellosβs core modules include member management, visual org charts, chapter/region/department modeling, multi-step approvals for joining and transfers, request conversation threads, discussion groups, activity feeds, real-time notifications, and push notifications. For events, it supports configuring ticket types, selling paid event tickets via Stripe, and on-site check-in using mobile QR codes. Its mobile experience appears to work in a PWA-like manner, allowing members to add it to their home screen without downloading an app from an app store.
Pricing information is limited. The site clearly states that clubs with up to 25 members can use it for free without a credit card. It also mentions that setup can begin in 5 minutes and provides an entry point to a pricing page, but no specific paid plan prices are shown. The deployment model appears to be cloud-based SaaS, with support for custom domains. No self-hosting option was found.
The documentation is divided for members, organization administrators, site administrators, and finance staff, suggesting a certain level of role-based separation. Administrators can approve requests, review groups, manage members, and handle workflows, while approvals can also be routed to the relevant officers. However, the text does not disclose a more detailed permission matrix. For third-party integrations, only Stripe is explicitly mentioned; there is no visible information about API or developer support.
Its strengths are a clear product focus and suitability for organizations with chapters, regions, officer hierarchies, and approval chains. It also combines community engagement with event ticketing well, and the free tier has a low barrier to entry. The main drawbacks are limited information on pricing, security and compliance, APIs, data governance, and localization. It is better suited to small and midsize overseas membership organizations such as clubs, associations, fraternities, and alumni groups.
Accessibility from mainland China is unknown. Since payments rely on Stripe, domestic Chinese organizations may face account, currency, or payment collection limitations. If operating for members in China, it may be worth evaluating WeCom, DingTalk, Youzan, Weimob, or local membership/community management tools as alternatives.
