ManageMemberships
ManageMemberships vs Bizzflo
ManageMemberships is built for facility owners who want fast daily workflows, a branded mobile app, door access control that syncs with billing, and real human support. For shooting ranges and gun clubs, it covers member management, access control with door logs, waivers, classes, events, resource booking (lanes, bays), CRM pipelines, and automation — all in one platform at enterprise-friendly pricing.
Bizzflo is shooting range and gun store management software that bundles POS, FFL compliance tools (e4473, digital bound book), online booking, membership management, inventory with distributor integrations, and CRM with email/SMS marketing. Their pricing is not publicly listed but is estimated around $2,500/month. 1
Bizzflo bundles FFL compliance tools into an expensive closed ecosystem, but most ranges end up migrating their e4473 and bound book to FastBound anyway. ManageMemberships gives you door access, a branded app, and enterprise-level range management at $700–1,500 less per month — and recommends FastBound from the start.

The key difference: ManageMemberships gives you door access control and a branded mobile app that Bizzflo simply does not offer, at $700–1,500 less per month. And you get the same compliance coverage by pairing with FastBound — which most Bizzflo ranges end up doing anyway.
If you need deep firearms inventory management with direct distributor integrations (RSR, Sports South, Lipsey's), Bizzflo's POS is more specialized in that area. But you're paying a premium for built-in compliance tools that many ranges outgrow.
FAQ
Does ManageMemberships handle FFL compliance (e4473, bound book)?
No, and that's intentional. We recommend FastBound, which is the industry standard for FFL compliance. Most ranges that start with Bizzflo's built-in compliance tools eventually migrate to FastBound anyway because it's purpose-built for ATF compliance. By recommending FastBound from the start, you skip that migration headache.
Can I control door access based on membership status?
Yes. ManageMemberships includes native door access control that syncs directly with membership and billing status. If a member's payment fails, access is automatically restricted. Bizzflo does not offer door access control at any price tier.
How much will I save switching from Bizzflo?
ManageMemberships enterprise range plans run $1,000–1,800/month. Bizzflo pricing is estimated at ~$2,500/month. That's $700–1,500/month in savings — plus you get door access and a branded app that Bizzflo doesn't include.
Is my data locked in if I switch to ManageMemberships?
No. ManageMemberships uses Stripe for payment processing and supports Zapier integrations. Your data and payment relationships are portable. This is a contrast to Bizzflo's closed ecosystem, where migrating away can be difficult.
Do you help with migration from Bizzflo?
Yes. Free migration assistance is included. We'll help move your member data, membership structures, and get you live on ManageMemberships.
Can I book lanes and bays online?
Yes. ManageMemberships includes resource booking that works for lanes, bays, classrooms, and any other bookable resource. Members can book through the member portal or branded app.
