GBI 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.

GBI 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.

GBWild 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.

GBProblem. Solved. This landed in my spam. Didn't see it until now. But if I recall, your support was responsive and answered my problem to my satisfaction. As always!

GBSupport: You are on your own! As others have stated, in a single word, Support is what is lacking. We've been using this for about 6 months after the trial period. During the trial period, Support was excellent. The problem is that you will not learn everything that you will need during that period. After you purchase the product/membership, Support is practically non-existent. Text support is naturally truncated. Email support has taken up to 3 weeks to get a response. Would not recommend them. I also would not pick any products in the Personify family of companies.
