Clubistry

What Clubistry does

Clubistry is a software-as-a-service club management platform owned and operated by Dialogs Apps, Inc., a Dallas, Texas-based web development company founded in 1995. The product provides an integrated suite for volunteer-run clubs and small member-based organizations, combining a no-code website builder, membership database with role-based access and custom fields, automated renewal workflows, online applications, document and photo libraries, event/news/FAQ publishing, and integrated payment processing via Stripe (Clubistry Payments). It is built on commodity open-source infrastructure (Laravel, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript) hosted on Amazon Web Services.

The platform targets a primarily vertical customer base of dog and pet breed clubs, craft guilds, professional organizations, and other small clubs, and is sold on a freemium, self-serve basis at $59/month or $648/year. Distribution is product-led: clubs sign up directly through the website without sales intervention, supplemented by content marketing, SEO, community engagement via a Circle-based Clubistry Community, and niche-channel outreach such as podcast appearances. Revenue is generated through subscription fees and, optionally, transaction fees on Stripe-processed payments. A standalone E-Commerce module launched in December 2024 extends monetization into merchandise and event-ticket sales.

The company is bootstrapped, with 1-10 employees, no external funding, and operates with no disclosed revenue. Notable public customers are concentrated almost entirely in the dog-club segment. Recent product investment has been steady and feature-led, including major releases in roster customization, member custom fields, forms, and ecommerce, alongside CAD currency support that signals intent to serve the Canadian market.
