Alignable Pricing

Is free Alignable good enough?

For most people, the free plan is enough to find out whether Alignable suits them. Five connection requests a month is about one a week. That is a fair test of one goal and a poor base for a campaign. ^[2]

The free allowance is disputed. A one-star reviewer in July 2026 reports three connection credits, and a 2023 comparison gives 10 a month within the nearest 500 businesses. Plan on five, and check the number your own account shows before you commit. ^{[6] [2] [5]}

Here is a test that settles it. Use the free plan for one month and send your five requests to the people you most want to meet. If none of them turns into a real conversation, paying $29 for 15 requests will not fix that. If two or more do, price Member.

Member is the cheapest paid step, and Premium costs more per request

Member costs $29 a month for 15 requests, which is $1.93 each ($29 divided by 15). Premium costs $49 for 25 requests, or $1.96 each. Moving from Member to Premium adds $20 for 10 more requests, so each extra request costs $2.00. ^{[1] [2]}

Premium adds profile analytics, boosted visibility and an “Ask About Services” button. Paperbell lists them, and one reviewer who upgraded says the result was not worth it. Pay for them only if you already know you need them. ^{[2] [7]}

Premium+ costs $89 for 75 requests, which is $1.19 each and the lowest price per request of the paid plans. Its allowance was 100 before a 2025 change that a 3-star reviewer reported. Premium+ also adds hosting events and groups, so it fits owners who run events. ^{[2] [8]}

Ignore the $29.99 Premium price in older articles

A November 2024 comparison lists Premium at $29.99 a month with unlimited referrals. The 2026 listings and Alignable’s Help Centre put Premium at $49, so use $49. The Help Centre calls the $29 tier Basic, and Software Finder calls it Member. ^{[4] [1] [3]}

No annual price shows up, so plan on monthly billing

Two reviewers quote annual figures: one says a Premium upgrade cost $600 a year in July 2025, and another says a paywall cost $180 a year in July 2020. A $600 year is $50 a month, close to the $49 monthly price, so it is not a clear discount. ^[6]

Check the billing options at checkout before you commit, and read the billing complaints first. A monthly plan you can cancel on time costs less than one you have to fight to leave.

Sponsorships cost far more, and refunds stop at launch

A $400 monthly sponsorship is $4,800 a year, about eight times Premium at $49 a month for a year ($588). Sponsorships are a separate product from membership, and the company says refunds are not available once a campaign has launched. ^{[1] [9]}

One reviewer says a $400 monthly sponsorship renewed in June 2026 without clear notice. The company says the renewal was disclosed. Read the renewal date and refund terms in writing before you sign anything. ^[6]

A year of Member costs less than BNI, on one guide’s figures

A full year of Member costs $348 ($29 times 12), and a full year of Premium costs $588. One comparison guide puts BNI at $800 to $1,400 a year and 3 to 5 hours a week. BNI’s own membership page lists no fee, so treat the guide’s figure as an estimate. ^{[1] [10] [11]}

BNI asks for a weekly seat, while Alignable’s events are ones you choose to attend, so the two are not the same purchase. Pick by how often you will show up, not by price alone.
