How Much Does Union Management Software Cost in Quebec? (2026 Comparison)

EspaceSyndical, Sentinelle, MonSyndicat: pricing structures for union management software in Quebec vary widely. Here's what to know before budgeting, and where Fortisia fits into the picture.

Almost every union comparing digital tools ends up asking the same question before signing anything: how much does it actually cost? The answer varies enormously from one provider to the next, and the pricing structure itself changes the nature of the commitment.

EspaceSyndical

EspaceSyndical publishes its rates openly, with three plans priced per active member. The Veille plan (basic management and Bill 25 compliance) costs $0.61 per active member per month, with a monthly minimum of $108. The Action plan, which adds three modules of your choice among grievances, meetings, finances, health and safety, or communications, costs $0.86 per member per month, minimum $145. The Forteresse plan, which gives access to all modules plus an AI union assistant, costs $1.06 per member per month, minimum $180. A flat rate of $79.99 per month exists for unions with fewer than 200 members.

Concretely, a local section of 500 members on the Action plan pays around $430 per month. A section of 6,000 members, on the same plan, pays around $5,160 per month.

Sentinelle

Sentinelle has no public price list, for good reason: the CSN offers the base service free of charge to all unions affiliated with the movement, with customization fees only if the union wants additional features. SCFP-Quebec negotiates a 15% discount for its local sections. The real price therefore depends almost entirely on the union's affiliation, not a standard price list.

MonSyndicat.com

MonSyndicat.com, developed by Neosapiens, works on a quote basis. The site publishes no pricing, and first contact happens through a demo request. Without a public price list, direct comparison isn't possible without going through their sales process.

Where Fortisia fits into this comparison

Fortisia doesn't really fit into this comparison, and not by accident. The three tools above sell internal union management, a price per member to manage files, grievances, finances. Fortisia sells something else: a mobile communication app, priced based on the size of the union and the features wanted, set by quote rather than a fixed price list, because deployment (white label or not, integrations, etc.) varies from one union to the next.

A union budgeting for management software should get these numbers before signing. A union that realizes, along the way, that its real problem is reaching members rather than managing files, should look at the other side of the line.

FAQ

Does the price of union management software include the mobile app for members?

Rarely in full. The communications modules included in these platforms are usually mass emails or messages sent from a web portal, not a native mobile app with push notifications.

Why doesn't Sentinelle have public pricing?

Because the CSN distributes it free of charge to its affiliated unions, with fees only for customizations. The price depends on affiliation, not a standard price list.
