What ClubDesk does

ClubDesk is an online club and association management software (SaaS) developed and operated by reeweb ag, a privately held Swiss company headquartered in Basel. The platform unifies seven integrated modules — member management, club website builder, invoicing and accounting, donations, calendar, document archive, and email server — that share data automatically so that a change in one module propagates across the others. The product is hosted exclusively on Swiss data centers with GDPR/DSGVO compliance, and is delivered through a mobile-friendly web interface that includes a calendar app for members accessible without installation. The product is offered in five pricing tiers (Free, S, M, L, XL) on annual and monthly billing, supported by a 30-day free trial for paid versions.

It is sold on a freemium and tiered subscription basis (Free, S, M, L, XL) targeted at small and mid-sized associations, primarily sports clubs, choirs, theater groups, and non-profits across the DACH region, with data hosted exclusively on Swiss servers for GDPR compliance.
