"We've tested a few different membership tools which were part of packages that we'd put money into. However, nothing can compare to Member. I know that there's lots of awesome things that users have been building through many years. When it comes down to customization, if you make use of WordPress, you can't touch this. Of course, I'm bias, but we've made millions of dollars because of this software."
