Core offering

Pep's Up is an all-in-one web-based SaaS platform for French associations (loi 1901) that centralizes member management, online memberships, event organization, association accounting compliant with PCA 2025, online payments via Stripe/PayPal/Sportyneo x FLOA, website creation, online store, donations with automatic CERFA 2041-RD fiscal receipts, and communication tools. The modules are natively interconnected so that actions in one module (e.g., a membership payment) automatically synchronize across accounting, contacts, and invoicing.

Product overview

Pep's Up is an all-in-one association management SaaS platform built as a unified software solution with modular architecture. The core product is organized around 10 integrated functional modules: Member Management (Gestion des Membres), Member Subscription Management (Gestion des Adhérents), Communication, Event Management (Gestion d'Événements), Accounting (Comptabilité), Online Payment (Paiement en Ligne), Website Creation (Création de Site Web), Online Store (Boutique en Ligne), Public Donations with Tax Receipts (Dons Public et Reçus Fiscaux), and Attendance Tracking (Feuilles de Présences). These modules are offered through six subscription tiers: Pack Gratuit (free), Pack Basic, Pack Pro, Pack Premium, Pack Comptabilité, and Pack Sérérité — with tier differences in email quotas, available integrations, and feature access. A paid add-on, CAARL Legal Protection, extends the platform with legal document generation, AI-powered legal Q&A, and lawyer video consultations. All modules are natively interconnected, enabling synchronized workflows such as automatic payment-to-accounting synchronization and automated member data updates. The platform targets French-speaking associations globally and is developed by SCOLABS SARL, headquartered in Marseille.

Emerging players

• SportEasy: French team and sports club management app for coaches, players and staff. Partial overlap with Pep's Up's sports-association vertical, but with a narrower sports-team focus rather than full association management.

Direct peers

• MemberClicks: US-based association management platform serving small-staff associations and member-based organizations. Comparable feature set (members, events, payments, website) targeting similar SMB associations in a different geography.
• Novi AMS: US-based association management system offering member database, event registration, and finance tools aimed at small associations. Comparable positioning and module structure to Pep's Up's platform.
• Wild Apricot: Canadian-born association management SaaS (now part of Personify) with member database, events, payments, and website tools. Closest English-language analogue to Pep's Up's all-in-one positioning for small and mid-sized associations.
• AssoConnect: French SaaS platform for association management covering members, events, payments, accounting and communication. Closest paid, all-in-one French competitor to Pep's Up with overlapping modules and a similar target buyer.
• HelloAsso: French association platform offering free online payments, ticketing, and crowdfunding for nonprofits. Directly competes with Pep's Up on payment, event, and donation flows in the same loi 1901 segment, but differentiates via a free, donor-tip-funded model.
• Yapla: French-Canadian association management platform offering member management, events, donations, payments and websites. Comparable SaaS play to Pep's Up, addressing the same nonprofit/association niche across the francophone world.
• YM Careers (YourMembership): US-based association management and career solutions platform serving member-based organizations. Comparable all-in-one member, event, and engagement tooling to Pep's Up, primarily for the North American market.
• ClubExpress: US-based club and association management SaaS with member, event, website and payment modules. Comparable all-in-one proposition to Pep's Up for clubs and associations, though positioned primarily in the North American market.

Broad incumbents

• CivicPlus: US-based provider of integrated technology for local government and community organizations, with adjacent association/community engagement capabilities. Broader incumbent offering overlapping membership and event features but targeting municipalities rather than loi 1901 associations.
