"We've tried a couple of different membership tools which were part of packages that we'd invested in. However, none of them can compete with Member. There's certainly lots of awesome products that folks have built over many years. But when it comes to customization, if you make use of WordPress there's no way to alter this. Naturally, I'm bias, but we've made millions of dollars because of this software."
