GBCustomer 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.

GBHIGHLY 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.

GBFeatures are not intuitive and… Features are not intuitive and difficult to find how they work. An example; An organization is late on their annual dues but pays for an event. It appears to put the money for the event toward their late dues.

GBDO NOT USE WILD APRICOT DO NOT USE WILD APRICOT. Every request for support for my account takes way over 5 business days for a response, if it's answered at all. On-line documentation is unreadable. I've been with Wild Apricot for about 7 years. Phone support to totally gone, which is interesting as they keep raising prices. I've pinged support, accounting and then a key executive on LinkedIn for my financial update issue and NOTHING. Save yourself and your association the time and agony - go with any other vendor, DO NOT USE Wild Apricot.

GBLow Cost, OK Basics, Unresolved Problems We have been using Wild Apricot for almost four years. We chose it because it was the least expensive club management system available at the time. The basic functions work pretty well. However the user interfaces (both for members and administrators) are reminiscent of software twenty years ago. We often get complaints from our members who have trouble logging in, making reservations for events, submitting payments, etc etc. Wild Apricot has not fixed a single problem despite numerous support requests. Moreover, WA has raised their prices, and recently forced us to convert to their payment system (replacing PayPal which we originally used), so WA now pockets transaction fees. We have finally had enough and are looking for a replacement. Hopefully new competitors have emerged in the four years since we chose WA. Edit as of April 2022: WA has fixed some problems while others remain. Improvement is slow and uneven.
