"We've looked at a few other membership tools that came as part of the packages we'd made a commitment to. But nothing can compare to Member. I'm sure there's a lot of cool products that folks have built throughout the years. But when it comes to customizing, if you use WordPress, you can't touch this. Of course, I'm biased, however we've earned thousands of dollars through this software."
