i4a is cloud-based association management software (AMS) from D. W. Rome, Incorporated, based in St. Petersburg, Florida. It brings membership records, events, payments, email, websites and reporting into one configurable platform for professional associations, trade associations, association management companies, healthcare organizations and nonprofits.
The company launched i4a in 1996 and describes itself as privately owned, without venture capital backing. Its main selling point is pricing based on staff users instead of member or contact counts, so a growing database does not raise the software bill.
i4a runs as a hosted platform where membership, events, email, payments, accounting and the member website share a single member record. Staff manage everything through an admin interface, and each staff user account counts toward the price. Members use a portal for self-service at any hour.
The platform is built around seven core workflows: membership, website, reporting, events, email, payments and directories. Renewals and reminders can be automated, and transactions are coded to GL accounts. The company says its software updates and security patches are applied for customers at no extra charge.
Core Platform includes membership management with custom member types and tiers, grace periods and auto-renewals, event registration with unlimited registrants, email marketing with templates and scheduling, a drag-and-drop website builder, member directories and a resource library. It also covers committee management, CE tracking for CEU, CME and CPE credits, and reporting.
Payments and accounting features include AR tracking, aging reports and a QuickBooks-compatible export. Pro Platform adds a member community with forums, survey tools, a job board, an online store and advanced email analytics. Optional add-ons include i4AI Studio and abstract and paper submission management for conferences.

No. Pricing depends on the number of staff users and the plan, not on members or contacts. Member count, email volume, event registrations and transaction volume do not change the price.
The sources do not mention a free plan or free trial. The site offers demos, and the company says it will recommend a plan and give pricing for your team size during a demo.
