A flat-priced Convene alternative, built for Australian NFPs
Convene is an established global board portal. If you're an Australian not-for-profit that wants the everyday governance capability without per-seat pricing — and with ACNC compliance built in — here's how BoardTable compares.

Competitor pricing and features are indicative only, taken from Convene's own public website and pricing pages as at 4 August 2026, and are reviewed quarterly. Vendors change their plans and packaging without notice — check Convene for current details before making a decision. Where we describe a competitor as “typically” priced a certain way, that is our reading of their published material, not a statement of what they would quote you.
Where BoardTable pulls ahead
Three reasons Australian not-for-profits choose BoardTable over Convene.
Built for NFP budgets
50% off every band and one flat fee with unlimited users — pricing that suits a not-for-profit's tighter per-director budget and simpler committee structure.
ACNC compliance, first-class
Governance standards, director and interest registers, decision registers and a full audit trail — mapped to what the ACNC actually expects of Australian charities.
Personal, local onboarding
A real person in your timezone sets up your board and brings your records across — no offshore ticket queue, most boards live within hours.
