Low 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.

I was a webmaster for two non-profit… I was a webmaster for two non-profit organizations and now WildApricot has increased annual subscription fee from $640 to $810 for the same plan. It is about 27% increase that we cannot afford to pass on to our members and customers. So we decided not to renew our subscription with WildApricot and moved to a new platform that supports non-profits and provides discounts.

Restrictive and difficult to customise Restrictive and difficult to customise. I've used Wild Apricot for a few years but NOT by choice. It's for a client who uses this platform. Coming from the WordPress background (which I have worked in for over 10 years), I find WA so incredibly frustrating to use. It's got very few theme options, hardly any features (i.e. no contact form widget for starters!) It's so clunky. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Wild Apricot has been a lifesaver the Entegra Coach Owners Association. Wild Apricot has been a lifesaver for our club as we’ve grown to almost 2000 members. We left off using a spreadsheet at @150 members. There is a learning curve, but their Customer Service is very responsive, and have been very patient as we have learned their systems. Their event registration and new payment processing capabilities will really empower our club management goals.

Software is great but their "bait and switch" pricing practices suck! I've set up two non-profits using this software based on Wild Apricots published prices. ArWild dot org & whiteriverrefuge dot org. Once set up Wild Apricot slammed us with two significant prices increases... not the usual inflationary prices increase but two prices increases that were on the order of 20-30% each. Sadly I would like to recommend the software but can't due to the over the top "bait and switch pricing" practices exhibited. Feeling gouged!
