What both publish
| Fact | ClubExpress | GatherAMS |
|---|---|---|

| Free plan | No | No |
| Integrations | The Zapier integration can send membership, donation, renewal, and event data to services such as HubSpot, Google Calendar, and Mailchimp; it is designed for incremental synchronization rather than historical migration. | The feature catalog lists a public REST API, webhooks and named financial/vendor integrations as live, while Zapier integration is not planned. |
