"We've tried a couple of different membership tools which were part of packages that we'd made a commitment to. However, there's nothing that can beat Member. I know that there's plenty of amazing things that users have created over the years. When it comes down to personalization, if your use WordPress there's no way to alter this. Of course, I'm biased, however we've earned thousands of dollars through this product."
