Swarmed operates on a pay-what-you-want model to keep the platform accessible while covering the costs of development, hosting, and support. Partnering associations contribute what they can, based on their size and resources.
How Partnership Contributions Work
- No mandatory fees. Associations choose their own annual contribution.
- The suggested contribution is $200 per year.
- Contributions go directly toward:
- Maintaining and improving Swarmed’s platform.
- Supporting integrations with your association.
- Expanding outreach and educational efforts to get more swarms reported.
Why Your Support Matters
Swarmed handles the technical and operational work that individual associations can’t easily manage on their own:
- Paid search advertising (Google Ads) to drive public swarm reports.
- Website optimization and content to increase visibility.
- Building and maintaining data dashboards.
- Automating notifications and swarm coordination.
- Protecting member privacy and reducing administrative workload.
Your contribution helps ensure these tools stay available and improve over time.
Membership Benefits for Associations
As a contributing partner, your association gets:
- A custom swarm reporting form embedded on your website.
- Full access to the Association Dashboard.
