Recur Features
Intuitive Website Builder
The platform includes a drag-and-drop Content Management System that allows staff to easily manage all website pages, sections, and navigation. This CMS eliminates the need for external tools, enabling quick content updates and ensuring the organizational website remains seamlessly integrated with the member portal and event registration system.
Automated Membership Renewals
This module automates the entire renewal workflow, from sending personalized, timely reminders to processing payments securely. Recur features this function to manage recurring dues and ensure predictable revenue collection, drastically reducing the manual administrative effort traditionally associated with managing membership renewal cycles.
Comprehensive Event Management
Recur handles all event management within one platform, from simple meetings to complex conferences. It supports parent and sub-event relationships for multi-day schedules with breakout sessions. It features dedicated registration sections for exhibitors and sponsors, automated reminders, and dynamic pricing with member or board discounts. By managing ticketing, payments, check-ins, and live reporting in Recur, you eliminate manual tasks and instantly track attendance and revenue.
Self-Service Member Portal
The dedicated member portal provides members with 24/7 access to manage their personal information, update contact details, and process their dues and renewals independently. This self-service capability enhances member satisfaction, maintains current member data accuracy, and significantly reduces inquiries sent to the administrative team.
Bulk Email + Texting
The platform centralizes all essential communication streams, including mass emails, personalized renewals, and internal staff messaging, into one hub. It ensures effective and targeted engagement by allowing staff to send customized messages based on member segmentation and track communication history efficiently.
Member Database & CRM
A centralized hub to track your members, prospects, sponsors, and past members. It supports custom fields, membership tiers, and detailed individual profiles showing every past interaction (emails opened, events attended, payment history)
Wavy AI Coach
Wavy is your built-in AI assistant designed to simplify yearly board transitions. Because volunteer leadership changes annually, Wavy acts as an on-demand trainer to teach new board members how to use Recur. Paired with built-in templates for emails and events, plus a drag-and-drop website builder, Wavy makes handoffs seamless. Incoming teams can immediately draft updates, launch events, and maintain the website without starting from scratch or needing technical training.
Learning Management System (LMS) & CE Tracking
Recur's built-in LMS manages your educational courses, licenses, and professional certifications. It hosts digital learning materials, issues certificates upon completion, and automatically tracks Continuing Education (CE) credits. By linking your education directly to the member database, you eliminate manual tracking spreadsheets and let members view their own CE progress.
Recur Score
Track member engagement automatically with our proprietary Recur Score. This analytics tool monitors actions like email opens, website visits, survey completions, and event attendance to assign each contact a real-time engagement rating. This allows you to easily identify highly active supporters or reach out to disengaged members before they decide to lapse.
Payment Processing and Financial Tools
Securely accept dues, event fees, and donations online. Recur simplifies your finances with instant payment processing, automated invoicing, and simple refund management. By consolidating all transactions in one place, you can generate clear financial reports, track unpaid dues, and seamlessly export your transaction data to accounting tools like QuickBooks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Recur re-build my whole website?
Yes, absolutely! While we have a simple drag-and-drop website builder that you can use yourself, we know busy volunteers rarely have time to build a site from scratch. Our team can fully design, build, and host a custom, modern website for your association at a fraction of what an agency would charge. Your new website will be completely integrated with your member database, events calendar, and member portal from day one.
What is the "Recur Score" and how does it prevent member lapse?
The Recur Score is our built-in engagement metric. It automatically monitors how contacts interact with your organization—like opening emails, attending events, or filling out surveys—to assign them a real-time engagement rating. This allows your board to spot highly active supporters, and more importantly, proactively reach out to disengaged members before their renewal date hits.
How does the LMS and Continuing Education (CE) tracking work?
Our built-in LMS add-on allows you to host educational courses, upload training materials, and track professional licenses. When a member completes a course, the system automatically awards their CE credits and issues a certificate. Because the LMS is fully integrated with your main database, these credits automatically log to the member’s profile, eliminating manual tracking spreadsheets.
How does switching to Recur work?
We make the transition incredibly simple. You won't have to worry about manual data entry; our team personally helps clean up and migrate your existing contact spreadsheets or old database records into Recur at no extra cost. Most associations are fully set up and running within a single day. We also help you configure your initial dues rules and communication templates so there is zero downtime.
What is included in the Core Plan, and what features cost extra?
We want small organizations to only pay for what they actually use. The Core Plan ($100/month or $92/month billed annually) includes your secure member database, automated renewal workflows, email communication tools, core event registration, payment processing, and our Wavy AI Coach. Optional Add-Ons include our advanced Learning Management System (LMS) with CE tracking, the Website Builder, and SMS Texting. These are available for an additional fee depending on your organization’s size.
What does a typical customer of Recur look like?
Our typical customers are small-to-mid-size non-profit membership associations, local trade associations, professional societies, chambers of commerce, and civic clubs. Most of our users are volunteer boards or part-time staff. They usually find Recur because they are tired of managing operations across five different subscriptions—like separate tools for emails, website hosting, and ticketing—and want a single, easy-to-use platform to simplify their workload.
What level of support does Recur offer?
We provide fast, highly responsive, U.S.-based human support. You will never have to deal with frustrating automated phone trees or useless AI chatbots. Because we are an independently owned company, our customers often work directly with our founders and core team over email or video calls. Whenever you have a question or need troubleshooting help, you can reach a real person directly at support@getrecur.com.
Our volunteer board changes every year. How will that work?
No. Recur is specifically designed to solve the yearly transition headache. We built Wavy, our in-platform AI Coach, to act as an on-demand trainer for incoming board members. Combined with pre-made templates for events and emails, plus our drag-and-drop website editor, new board members can step in and start managing the association instantly without needing technical training or lengthy handover meetings.
Can our members manage their own accounts and payments?
Yes. Through our secure Member Self-Service Portal, members can log in at any time to update their personal details, pay outstanding invoices, register for events with automatically applied member discounts, view member directories, and download past certificates or CE credits. This drastically cuts down on routine admin emails sent to your board.
