Overview

Raklet is membership-management software for organizations that need to run member records, renewals, communications, and events together. It best suits groups that want a member portal and branded mobile access as part of that setup. Its free entry point is useful for a small roster, but contact ceilings and per-transaction charges make plan choice consequential as an organization grows.

Key features

Members can join and renew online, and Raklet supports automated renewals, a member portal, and member communications. That covers a practical membership lifecycle without requiring separate tools for each of those tasks. Page-based content gating and a website builder give organizations a way to present membership content and manage access, while custom domains support a branded web presence. Drip content is not supported, so organizations that need scheduled content delivery should look elsewhere.

Event tools cover online and in-person gatherings, including tickets, RSVPs, and guest check-in. Branded apps for iPhone and Android give members digital cards in the app or through mobile wallets. Raklet advertises more than 4,000 integrations, which may help organizations connect it to other services. Stripe is the payment provider, and Raklet works with it in Stripe-supported countries; transaction fees range from 1% to 4% plus $0.60 per transaction, depending on plan. That cost deserves attention for organizations processing frequent or high-volume payments.

Raklet says it follows industry-standard security practices and strict data-protection policies, and that customer information is never shared. Free email and chat support is available to all clients. The company says it is trusted by more than 1,000 customers.

Pricing

Raklet has a free plan and paid plans. Annual subscriptions receive two months free, and there is no setup or installation fee. The annual-billing starting price is $49/mo (annual), while the plan prices below are monthly billing:

Plan	Price and allowance	Best fit
Free	0.00 USD per free; 100 contacts, 1 admin seat, and 1,250 free emails per month.	A small group validating its membership workflow, if 100 contacts and one administrator are enough.
Essentials	59.00 USD per month; 500 contacts, 1 admin seat, and 5,000 free emails per month.	Organizations that have outgrown Free but can still operate with a single administrator.
Professional	119.00 USD per month; 1,000 contacts, 2 admin seats, and 10,000 free emails per month.	Growing groups that need more contacts and a second admin login.
Premium	499.00 USD per month; 10,000 contacts, 3 admin seats, 50,000 free emails per month, and 10 roles.	Larger organizations that need substantially more capacity and role options.

The free plan's 100-contact cap and single admin seat are meaningful constraints, while Essentials keeps the same seat limit even as it expands the contact and email allowances. Professional adds a second seat; Premium is a sharp price step for much larger capacity and 10 roles. The overall member limit is 500, so organizations should reconcile that limit with their expected membership before choosing a tier. Custom pricing applies where a plan price is not given. Subscription billing can be monthly or annual, but payment processing costs remain an additional consideration: transaction fees vary by plan from 1% to 4% plus $0.60.

Platforms

Raklet runs on Android and iOS. Its branded mobile apps support digital membership cards, and members can use those cards through mobile wallets.

Who it's for

Raklet is a reasonable fit for associations, clubs, and other membership organizations that want online enrollment, renewals, events, a member portal, and branded mobile access in one platform. The free tier gives very small organizations a no-cost starting point; larger groups should compare both the contact allowance and payment fees against their expected volume. It is less suitable for groups that need drip content, more than 500 members under the stated member limit, or payment processing outside Stripe-supported countries.

Pros and cons

Pros: Online joining, renewals, and automated renewals cover core membership tasks; event tools combine tickets, RSVPs, and check-in for online and offline events; branded apps and mobile-wallet cards give members a phone-based membership option.
Cons: Free is capped at 100 contacts and one admin; Essentials also has only one admin seat. Transaction fees of 1% to 4% plus $0.60 can add up, and Stripe availability depends on the country. Drip content is not supported.

Alternatives

Consider WildApricot if you want a paid membership service with a free trial and broader platform coverage including web and API; its 100 Contacts plan is 66.00 USD per month and includes a cloud-based membership and contact database with full customer support. PushPress is worth comparing if you need a free plan with unlimited leads, admins, members, and staff; its Free plan charges 4.99% + .30 CC or 2.89% + .30 ACH, a different fee structure from Raklet's.

MembershipWorks may suit organizations prioritizing lower entry pricing: its free plan covers 50 accounts, and its Up to 300 accounts plan is 35.00 USD per month. Choose membermojo if a web-only service with a free plan or trial is a closer fit; its 100-member plan costs 50.00 GBP per year, inclusive of VAT. Mybers is another freemium option, with a free Starter plan for unlimited members and 500 emails per month, so it merits comparison for groups whose priority is member capacity.

Join It is a paid alternative with a 29.00 USD per month Starter plan for 250 members and 3 admin seats, useful if that capacity and seat count better match your needs. Clubworx has a free plan for up to 20 active members and includes online booking, payments, email and SMS, and a self-check-in kiosk. CiviCRM is a web-based freemium alternative; its Starter plan is 15.00 USD per month per instance for unlimited users and up to 5,000 contacts.

Verdict

Choose Raklet if your organization wants membership operations, event hosting, and branded mobile access together, and its contact limits and Stripe-based transaction fees fit your scale. Its free tier makes a modest starting point possible, but the one-seat limits on Free and Essentials and the jump to higher-priced plans make growth planning important. Look elsewhere if your organization needs drip content, exceeds the stated 500-member limit, or needs a different payment provider.
