I have been a webmaster on Wild Apricot… I have been a webmaster on Wild Apricot for two non-profits for close to a decade. The advantage is that its built in tools allow a non-professional to build and maintain a website and membership database. While I have quibbles, those key processes are excellent. I think the worst aspect of Wild Apricot is their ability to handle text editing. As a webmaster who needs to create and maintain a lot of pages, text is where I spend most of my time. I waste so much time dealing with the idiosyncrasies of this process. My big concern is that after the buy-out a few years ago there seems to be an emphasis on improving profitability. Customer service has gone to hell. New products are all focused on generating additional revenue for the company and haven't been of value to us. Subscription prices are increasing at high rates. The organizations I support are looking for alternatives.

HIGHLY Recommended Platform for an Integrated Organization Management and Website I moved my writers organization onto Wild Apricot over five years ago and have NEVER regretted it. It automates tasks that used to take hours and brings together membership and event management onto our website platform. It is easy enough to use that we no longer need a developer to maintain the site. When we run into issues the Wild Apricot staff has been very responsive and provides easy to use instructions to resolve questions. They also have plenty of training to help you unlock the power of the platform. HIGHLY recommend it.

Wild Apricot is helpful & patient 24/7. That makes a big difference to a small association! Wild Apricot is consistent, easy to learn and to master. The value of using this software is not just the complexity of learning new features - but the help provided if or when we need guidance along the way. We are a small staff with multiple tasks and interests to stay ahead of our member's needs. Wild Apricot is always there to answer our questions and point us in the right direction to move forward.

Customer service is non-existent Customer service is non-existent. I've been told for days to utilize the live chat feature - nope, it is not available and hasn't been for days yet we have a paid subscription. The templates are buggy and when you ask a question about why it isn't working you get referred to a FAQ that doesn't address the issue you are having. I don't think there are actual people who work at this company. Plus they are increasing their prices for this below-average software and services.

Two huge price jumps, not worth ir I started using wildapricot about three years ago for a nonprofit organization that I am the webmaster for. At first it was a great value for the amount of money I was paying for the product. However in the past two years the price has jumped up exponentially with no real new functions that are of use to me or my organization. The first price jump I understood, but when they announced another rise in price not six months later with nothing new to justify the price I was really annoyed. Needless to say I will be looking for another service to use. I would say that the service is good out way overpriced for a small organization like mine.
