The verdict in three sentences
A membership and dues management app in Cairo costs between 80,000 and 250,000 MAD in 2026 depending on modules (online enrollment, payment, cards, reminders, member portal). It ships in 3 to 5 months and its main gain is automated dues collection, which sharply reduces arrears. For a federation, mutual, or professional body managing thousands of members, the tool eliminates dozens of hours of manual follow-up per month.
Modules and budget in MAD
The core of the app is the member registry linked to dues payment. Here are the modules and their 2026 orders of magnitude.
| Module | MAD range | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Member registry + online enrollment | 15,000 – 35,000 | Single source |
| Online payment (card / mobile) | 18,000 – 40,000 | Direct collection |
| Dues management + due dates | 15,000 – 35,000 | Automated tracking |
| Automatic SMS / email reminders | 10,000 – 22,000 | Fewer arrears |
| Digital member cards (QR) | 12,000 – 28,000 | Simple check-in |
| Self-service member portal | 15,000 – 40,000 | Less admin load |
| Reporting + accounting exports | 10,000 – 25,000 | Steering |
An "essential" scope (registry, payment, dues) fits within 80,000 to 120,000 MAD. With a member portal, digital cards, and advanced reminders, expect 200,000 to 250,000 MAD.
The admin gain, quantified
The return is measured mainly in admin time and collection rate. 2026 order of magnitude for a body of 3,000 members.
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Admin time on dues/month | 60 h | 15 h |
| Admin cost (60 MAD/h loaded) | 3,600 MAD | 900 MAD |
| Dues collection rate | 78% | 92% |
| Average payment delay | 40 days | 12 days |
| Member cards printed/year | 3,000 | 0 (digital) |
Moving collection from 78% to 92% on, say, 3,000 dues of 500 MAD represents about 210,000 MAD in extra dues collected per year, on top of the 45 monthly hours freed.
Mini case study
Ms. Hassan runs a professional mutual in Cairo: 3,000 members, annual dues of 500 MAD. Follow-up is kept in a spreadsheet; collection tops out at 78% and two staff spend 60 hours per month chasing by phone. Uncollected dues run to about 330,000 MAD per year.
She invests 160,000 MAD in an app with online enrollment and payment, automatic reminders, digital cards, and a member portal, delivered in 4 months. Within a year, collection climbs to 92% (+210,000 MAD collected), admin time drops to 15 hours/month, and card printing disappears. The app pays for itself in the first year, with the collection uplift alone easily covering the investment.
