The OnBoard alternative built for nonprofit boards.
OnBoard is a mature, widely reviewed board portal — and it is sold the way enterprise software is sold: request a demo, get a quote priced by tier and by number of users. I'mBoard publishes its price: flat per board per month, every director and every committee included, and verified 501(c)(3)s pay half. Free until after your next board meeting. Decisions and action items are captured in the meeting, the minutes are written in the same system, and everything is filed in a searchable archive.
Pricing you can actually see

One monthly cycle, four steps
What running the board on I'mBoard looks like
- 1
Build the board packet
Pull the agenda, reports, and attachments into one packet — in an afternoon, not a weekend. No more version-checking email threads to figure out which PDF is current.
- 2
Send it — no passwords for board members
No passwords: directors sign in with Google or a one-time code emailed to them, then open the packet on any device and read it. Nothing to reset the night before the meeting.
- 3
Run the meeting
Everyone works from the same packet, and decisions and action items are captured as they happen — not reconstructed afterward from memory.
- 4
Minutes filed, follow-ups visible
Minutes get finished while the meeting is fresh instead of hanging over your week — formatted and filed in the archive. Your permanent legal record, kept current.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is I'mBoard different from OnBoard?
OnBoard is a broad board-management platform built for boards of every kind, priced per plan tier and per user after a demo. I'mBoard is a board portal for a 501(c)(3) board of 5–15 directors: one flat monthly price per board with every director and committee included, no sales call, no annual contract, and a published number on our pricing page. Committees are part of the same board price, decisions and action items are captured while the meeting runs, and the minutes and packets live in one searchable archive.
What does OnBoard cost?
OnBoard does not publish a price. Its pricing page says cost depends on the plan tier and the number of users, and that you request a demo to get a quote — so every director you add is another user on the quote. For the published side of the comparison, see our OnBoard pricing breakdown. Ours: flat per board per month, every director and every committee included, half price for EIN-verified 501(c)(3)s, billed monthly with no contract. Every number is on the pricing page.
Which other board portals should a nonprofit compare?
The portals an executive director usually shortlists are Boardable, BoardEffect, OnBoard, and BoardPro. We put them side by side — pricing model, what a 15-director board costs, trial, and contract terms — in the best board management software for nonprofits, compared.
What does it cost?
$149/month flat per board, or $74/month for EIN-verified 501(c)(3) nonprofits — exactly 50% off, every month. Monthly billing, cancel anytime, no auto-renew traps. Full details on the pricing page.
Do our board members need to be technical — or even create accounts?
No technical skill needed. Directors sign in, but there are no passwords: they use Google or a one-time code emailed to them, open the packet, read it, and are done. Staff manage everything from the workspace, which works like any board portal. The agent layer is optional and aimed at operations managers who want to automate data collection.
What happens to our minutes and packets if we leave?
Your records are yours — ask and we'll send you a full export of your archive: every packet, every minute, every decision. Your minutes are your permanent legal record, and they belong to your organization, not to us.
