I run TRIBE, so read everything below knowing I have a horse in this race. I still think you deserve the numbers on one page, because most rooms in this category make you sit through a sales call before they tell you what a seat costs. That always bothered me. Founders can handle a number.

Published and reported rates as of mid 2026 look like this. Vistage runs roughly $16,500 to $19,000 in your first year once fees stack up. YPO clears $20,000 with initiation. Hampton lands between $8,500 and $16,000 depending on tier. EO comes in around $2,500 to $5,000 plus chapter dues. TRIBE is $3,999 for the year paid upfront, or $5,000 spread across four quarterly payments of $1,250.

Price tells you who the room was built for

None of those prices are wrong. They just serve different companies. A $19,000 seat makes sense when your company does $20 million and the line item disappears into a budget. Vistage and YPO were built for that world, and they serve it well.

The problem shows up when you run a business doing $800K or $3 million. At that size a $19,000 membership competes with a hire, a website rebuild, or six months of ad spend. You feel the check. So the honest question is never which room is best. It is which room was priced and built for your stage.

What you should actually compare

Dues are the visible cost. The bigger variable is who sits around the table. A cheap seat surrounded by people two stages behind you is expensive, because you become the mentor and stop being the student. An expensive seat surrounded by people who outgrew your problems a decade ago is also expensive, because their advice arrives from an altitude you cannot use yet.

I built TRIBE for founders doing $500K to $10M+ because that band shares the same problems: first real hires, pricing power, owner dependence, cash discipline. When the room shares your problems, every conversation compounds. When it does not, you paid for a nice dinner club.

Run the math for your own stage, then look at the full side by side comparison. If you land where most of our members land, the pricing page has nothing hidden on it, which is sort of the point.
