Pino review
A Drupal-based membership record manager with hosted plans and a free self-hosted version.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Pino is a web application for associations and other membership organizations to manage member records. It is a fit for small teams that need a place to maintain records, tailor them with custom fields, and communicate with members by email. Pino is built on Drupal, and organizations can choose between hosted subscriptions and a free self-hosted version.
The record and communication tools are its clearest strengths. Records can be created, updated, removed, and revisioned; email recipients can be filtered by group or activity. A document archive stores files, while imports and exports support ODS, XLSX, CSV, and other formats. Drupal modules and themes can extend the application, making its ecosystem a relevant consideration for organizations already working with Drupal. The product description centers on records, communications, and documents rather than the wider administration of membership.
The hosted Basic, Standard, and Premium plans include hosting, security updates, and email support; Premium specifies premium support. A free plan is available as self-hosted software and includes the same Pino features, so teams can choose whether they want a hosted service or to operate it themselves. The published pricing model is freemium and includes a 30-day free trial. Pino makes sense for organizations prioritizing configurable records and member communication, especially those comfortable with Drupal. Organizations whose requirements center on dues, renewals, member portals, or payment handling should compare alternatives that explicitly provide those capabilities.
