Your next board member shouldn't need a software budget

A new board member brings something your organization needs: experience, a connection to the community, or the willingness to take on a difficult job.

Getting that person the agenda should be straightforward. So should giving a committee chair access to the documents behind a decision.

That is the thinking behind Boardkind's proposed price: $19 per organization per month, with unlimited board members and committees. Participation would not change the subscription price. See the Boardkind proposal.

Boardkind currently accepts setup inquiries. This article explains the proposed pricing model; it is not an announcement of a generally available subscription. Confirm availability and final terms before making a purchase decision.

Count everyone who needs to participate

When comparing board software, start with people rather than the advertised monthly number. Write down the directors, staff administrators, committee members, and other people who need ongoing access. Then check how each vendor counts them.

For example, Boardable's published pricing counts administrators, board members, committee members, and observers as paid users. It bills annually and offers volume pricing. Temporary meeting guests are an exception: they do not require ongoing user seats. Those distinctions matter when you request a quote. Boardable plans and billing FAQ.

Boardkind's proposed organization-wide model removes the headcount calculation:

Twelve months at that rate would total $228. That is an annualized calculation, not a statement about billing commitments, taxes, or renewal terms.

The practical benefit is predictability. Adding a committee member would not require deciding whether their access is worth another seat charge. You would still give each person only the access appropriate to their role; including people in the price should never mean sharing one login.

A lower price still has to fit your board

Price alone cannot tell you whether a portal is right for your organization. A board that needs particular integrations, accessibility support, security controls, or onboarding help should evaluate those requirements directly. A more expensive service may be the better purchase.

Before deciding, ask each provider to demonstrate one real meeting cycle: preparing the packet, recording a decision, assigning the follow-up, and retrieving it later. Ask what happens when a board member leaves and how you take your records with you.

Use the same scenario with every provider, including us. A feature list is less useful than seeing your own work completed.

Making room for the people doing the work

We want Boardkind's pricing to make it easier to include the people who help a small organization function. That is a specific design choice we can explain. Claims about hours saved or better governance will need evidence from real use.

If per-person pricing is a concern for your board, tell us how your board and committees work. Include the number of people who need access and the meeting task you most want to simplify. That gives us a useful starting point for an honest conversation about fit.
