"We've tried a couple of other membership tools that were part of packages that we'd put our money into. However, there's nothing that can beat the Member. I know that there's a lot of cool stuff out there that people have been building through many years. However, when it comes to personalization, if your use WordPress it's impossible to do this. Naturally, I'm biased, but we've made thousands of dollars through this software."
