Longtime User - Run Away I have been using Wild Apricot for years, paying their highest-priced tier. Ever since Personify took over, we've seen a steady decline. It's now to the point where the website interface operates so slow, it's nearly impossible to use. Their support system is strictly through chat, and their hours are very limited, they never offer support on weekends or ANY kind of holiday.

Recent technical issue with how the… Recent technical issue with how the website posts the number of registrants and openings for an event. The event page and the Upcoming Events "gadget" doesn't count a registrant with an unpaid balance. This is causing tremendous confusion among our members and event leaders.

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!

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.
