If you’re looking for an all-in-one membership website builder then chances are you’ve come across MembershipWorks. But what about MembershipWorks pricing and what do you get for your money?
Let’s take a closer look.
MembershipWorks Pricing
MembershipWorks pricing starts with a free plan and works with a tiered pricing structure to accommodate membership website businesses of all sizes. As you grow you can migrate or upgrade to a paid plan. Your costs increase based on the number of member accounts your business needs to manage.
- The Free Plan: The MembershipWorks free plan is (as it says) free to sign up for and free to use with up to 50 member accounts. It’s a great place to start off with your membership site and includes features like basic membership management, online membership payments, members-only content, a member’s directory, an event calendar, and one-on-one support and training.
- Paid Plans: Each of the paid plans include all the features available in the free plan, but also include extra features. These include event registrations and payments, donation processing, general web boards, shopping carts, job boards, announcement boards, classified ads and you can add multiple administrators. In fact, everything you need to run a membership website!
With MembershipWorks your fees increase as you grow and the pricing is as follows:
- Up to 300 members accounts – $35/month
- Up to 600 members accounts – $59/month
- Up to 1,200 accounts – $95/month
- Up to 2,500 accounts – $145/month
- Up to 5,000 accounts – $205/month
- Up to 10,000 accounts – $259/month
In addition, with MembershipWorks, there are no extra hidden fees, and, unlike other platforms, MembershipWorks does not take a percentage from your transactions. However, payment gateways like Stripe or PayPal will take a percentage of your transaction fees as per your agreement with them.
While you can sign up for the free account, MembershipWorks does not offer a free trial on their paid plans. But you do get a 30-day money-back guarantee, which allows you to cancel your account if you find that MembershipWorks is not a good fit for you. You can also upgrade or downgrade your plan as you wish, with pro-rata charges applied.
Comparison With Other Membership Management Platforms
Wild Apricot
Starting at $60/month for up to 100 contacts (note: a contact is everyone in your database and not only members) and going up to $900/month for up to 50,000 contacts, Wild Apricot is more expensive than MembershipWorks.
However, Wild Apricot scores highly with its user-friendly interface and strong website-building tools. Other features include event management, online payments, and email marketing.
MemberSpace
MemberSpace has one set price of $39/month and offers a 14-day free trial. However, MemberSpace also charges a 5% fee for all your transactions, which can add up. While it’s a strong alternative to MembershipWorks, MemberSpace focuses on ease of setup and other software integrations instead of having built-in features.
