"We've tried a couple of other membership tools that were part of packages that we'd purchased. But there's nothing that can beat the Member. There's certainly a lot of cool stuff out there that people have created over time. When it comes down to customization, if you are using WordPress, you can't touch this. Obviously, I'm super biased, however we've earned millions through this product."

They're also eager to connect with the new tools that are coming out. It's amazing how they do it. If I were to buy an membership-related plugin today... I would go with Member. I would opt for Membership.
