WildApricot review

WildApricot ranks first because it covers the full membership cycle for a small organization at a price a club treasurer can approve. One subscription includes the member database, automated renewals and reminders, a members-only website and portal, event registration with waitlists, an online store, donations and email campaigns. Prices are set by contact count only, starting at $66 a month for 100 contacts on monthly billing, with 10% off for a one-year prepay and 15% off for two years, and every package carries the same features. WildApricot charges no setup, transaction or cancellation fees, though your payment provider will. Admins get a mobile app for check-in and payments, and members get one for profiles, tickets and the directory. The trade-offs are that every contact counts toward the tier, so large non-member lists push the price up, and design beyond the templates often needs an outside partner. The 60-day trial is long enough to run a real renewal cycle.
