Comparison

Nonprofit Liaison vs. Boardable

Boardable is a capable, well-reviewed board platform that publishes its prices — which is more than most of the category does. The catch is the pricing model: it's per user, so the healthy thing you're trying to do, recruiting more community leaders onto your board, raises your software bill.

Boardable is per user: Essentials $20.99, Professional $29.99, Professional+ $35.99 per user/mo — about $3,778, $5,398 and $6,478 a year for a 15-member board. Source: boardable.com/plans, verified 12 September 2026.

What Boardable does well

  • Published pricing — the transparency most competitors lack.
  • Meeting guests and survey respondents don't consume seats.
  • Strong engagement and polling features, and a mature, well-reviewed product.
  • Unpublished volume discounts are available, so the real number can come in below list.

Per-user pricing scales against you

Boardable's terms are explicit: "Everyone who has access is considered a User," and board members need seats. A 24-person board on Professional is $8,637 a year; the same board on a flat plan costs what a 9-person board costs. If your board is growing, the gap widens every year.

Watch renewals and notice periods

One Boardable customer reported their subscription "increased 20.5% year over year, though Boardable did not mention it." Cancellation requires 30 days' notice. Neither is disqualifying — but ask for a renewal cap in writing and note the cancellation date before you need it.

Migrating

Export your board documents and minutes before renewal, and confirm your new tool imports them text-searchable. Boardable's guest model means some of your "users" may not need to migrate as seats at all.

Who Should Pick Which

Pick Boardable if…

A board that values Boardable's engagement and polling features and whose seat count is small and stable.

Pick Nonprofit Liaison if…

A growing board, a committee-heavy structure, or anyone who doesn't want the bill to rise every time they recruit a director.
