WildApricot alternatives: 11 membership and associations tools compared
People look for a WildApricot alternative when the price band tied to contact count no longer matches the organisation, when they want a vendor in their own country and legal setting, or when they want a lighter tool for dues and records alone. They move to small national specialists, to a WordPress plugin, or to open source.
Short answer: Places 1 to 3 go to challengers, vendors outside the best-known brands in a category, wherever the category has them; the established names follow from place 4 in their ranked order. For WildApricot users, the top three picks from our membership and associations ranking are membermojo, Webling and easyVerein. Pick membermojo if you run a UK club with volunteers and only need records, joining and renewals. The 11 entries that follow are all ranked in Best Membership Management Software in 2026; each one explains what sets it apart from WildApricot.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Built for: Small associations replacing a spreadsheet and a mailing list
Not for: Professional bodies tracking qualifications and CPD records

Why buyers look past WildApricot
01
The price follows the size of the database
WildApricot sells by contact bands of 100, 250, 500, 2,000, 5,000, 15,000 and 50,000. The pricing page we read showed figures only for the 100-contact band: USD 66 a month on monthly billing, 59.40 with one year pre-paid and 56.10 with two. Larger bands need the live calculator, so growth in the database moves the bill.
02
Every plan carries the same feature set
All packages include events, website, store, donations, email and member portal, so there is no cheaper tier without them. A club that needs only a member list and dues collection still pays for the whole bundle, and the website builder is a drag-and-drop editor with WordPress integration rather than a design tool.
03
Payments and trial terms to read closely
Integrated processing runs through Personify Payments, payment provider fees apply, and other payment systems carry an additional servicing fee whose amount the page does not state. The 60-day trial needs no card, but the account is deleted if you do not upgrade, so export before that date.

What each one does differently

membermojo
United Kingdom · Published
Membermojo charges nothing up to 50 members and then a flat annual fee set by member band, published on its site. The scope is a member list, an online joining form, renewal reminders and payment collection for UK clubs. A volunteer committee can set it up quickly, but there is no website builder, events platform or accounting beside it.
Switch from WildApricot if you run a UK club with volunteers and only need records, joining and renewals.
Webling prices by member count from CHF 14.90 a month on an annual plan, with a restricted free plan up to 50 members. One subscription covers members, bookkeeping, invoicing, a portal and a calendar, hosted in Switzerland. Every address in the database counts towards the plan, and events stop at a calendar with sign-ups.
Switch from WildApricot if you want Swiss hosting and bookkeeping in the same subscription.
Starting at EUR 7.14 a month by member count, easyVerein also offers a demo licence for up to 10 members. It handles SEPA mandates with correct pre-notification, dues, bookkeeping an auditor can read and member self-service, with an official English language pack. Events amount to a calendar and sign-up, and the legal assumptions are German.
Switch from WildApricot if you collect SEPA dues for a German club and want low entry pricing.
Congressus costs from EUR 29 a month plus EUR 0.10 per current member, so the bill follows active members. It models committees, boards and rotating roles, which turns the yearly board handover into a core feature. Collection by iDEAL and direct debit starts at the Plus plan. The product is Dutch-language and reporting is basic.
Switch from WildApricot if your board changes every year and you collect dues in the Netherlands.
From Berlin, Campai puts the member list, bookkeeping, course booking, newsletters and a member app behind one price that rises with member count, with all users included. Card and PayPal fees are charged per transaction on top. It is written for the German Verein, and a small vendor carries its own continuity risk.
Switch from WildApricot if you want one German-market product covering members, courses and accounts.
e-Captain publishes a price list by number of active relations, from EUR 365 per organisation per year. The base package covers member administration, bookkeeping, dues invoicing, activities, a website and mailings, with a webshop as an optional module. Its interface is functional rather than modern, and conventions are Dutch.
Switch from WildApricot if your treasurer works in Dutch and wants a yearly price by active relations.
AssoConnect serves French associations. The free Offre Paiement only collects dues, donations and tickets; the paid Serenite plan, priced by member count, adds the CRM, the accounting a treasurer must file and a website. Receipts are generated for you. Support and documentation are French-first, and the website templates can feel confining.
Switch from WildApricot if you run a French association and want receipts and accounts generated.
Join It plans start at USD 29 a month with unlimited members, plus a 1.5 to 3 percent service fee on online payments. It sells and renews memberships, takes event registrations at member prices and syncs the list into Mailchimp or QuickBooks. You keep your own website. Chapters are linked separate accounts and the directory is plain.
Switch from WildApricot if your website is fine and the real problem is dues and records.
Tendenci is open source, so you can host it yourself, or buy managed hosting from USD 249 a month from the Houston company behind it. One codebase covers memberships with renewals, events, directories, committees, job boards and a website. Self-hosting needs Python and Django skills on your side, and the community is small.
Switch from WildApricot if you want code you can host and change yourself.
ClubExpress charges per member per month with a base fee, published. It covers chapters, committees, member types, dues with proration, event registration at member prices, forums and a website. Few tools here go as deep on chapter structure for the money. The interface shows its age, and new board members need about a month to settle.
Switch from WildApricot if you run chapters and committees and want depth over polish.
MemberPress is a WordPress plugin sold as an annual licence, with the entry Launch plan adding a 4.9 percent transaction fee. It provides joining forms, recurring dues through Stripe (PayPal and Square from the Growth plan) and rules that lock pages to paid members, inside the site you already run. Committees, chapters and events need further plugins.
Switch from WildApricot if your site already runs on WordPress and you will maintain it yourself.

04
When WildApricot is still the right choice
WildApricot stays the right choice for a small association that wants website, member database, renewals, events, store and donations from one supplier. The 60-day trial needs no card, free onboarding coaching is included, and the page lists no setup, training or cancellation fees. If you already use the mobile apps and QuickBooks export, check your contact band before deciding that price alone is the reason to leave.
05
What moving off WildApricot involves
01
Export before the account closes
The pricing page says a trial account is deleted if you do not upgrade, and it lists CSV and QuickBooks export in the financial tools. Export contacts, membership levels, renewal dates, event histories and invoices first, then check that the new tool maps your levels and custom fields.
02
Website and portal are rebuilt, not copied
WildApricot pages and the members-only portal sit inside its own builder. Plan to recreate the public site, the directory and any gated pages in the new tool or on your own WordPress site, and tell members which login address changes on the day.
03
Recurring payments need care
Payments run through your payment provider arrangement, and not every provider moves stored agreements between systems. Ask the new vendor and your provider whether subscriptions can be carried over, and schedule the switch away from a renewal run.
06
Questions about replacing WildApricot
6 answers
How much does WildApricot cost?
The pricing page we read lists USD 66 a month at 100 contacts on monthly billing, 59.40 with a one-year pre-payment and 56.10 with two years.
It names bands up to 50,000 contacts but showed prices only for the first one, and multi-chapter groups can ask for custom pricing.
Does WildApricot have a free trial?
Yes, 60 days with no credit card. If you do not upgrade, the account is deleted after the trial, so export your data before then if you decide to leave.
Which WildApricot alternatives are free to start?
Membermojo is free up to 50 members, Webling has a restricted free plan up to 50 members, and easyVerein offers a demo licence for up to 10 members at no cost.
Tendenci is open source, though hosting and support cost money if you want them managed.
Are there alternatives that charge per active member?
Congressus lists EUR 0.10 per current member on top of a monthly base from EUR 29. Webling, easyVerein and Campai price by member count, and e-Captain by active relations, so check how each one counts lapsed contacts.
Which options suit a WordPress website?
MemberPress is a plugin that adds dues and page locking to a WordPress site. Tendenci and Join It take other routes: Tendenci brings its own website, while Join It leaves your site alone and handles the records.
