MemberVault vs. Pike13

I recommend it for those who are maybe 1-2 employees in their business--in other words, people just starting online with their business. It's priced right, so you can still make money with few sales. Plus, the ongoing support really helps you understand how to navigate the platform. It probably wouldn't be as great for someone who has thousands of people taking a course or someone who can afford a platform like Kajabi, where you can have everything right there. Because it doesn't host everything you need, it is for the frugally minded or smaller clientele biz owner.

Pike13 would be well suited for an organization whose clients use the platform in person, not for a virtual service. This could be ideal for a client whose website doesn't need to be integrated with Pike13.

• I do wish you could host video right on the platform. You can't now but have to use other video sites.
• I wish you could tailor the domain to reflect back to a page on your website.
• I like the marketplace page but wish you could design it a little bit differently.
• It's hard for people to cancel a subscription on their own.

Incentivized

• The ability of the reporting function is strong, but the interface is not user friendly.
• The payroll function would be more powerful if it was integrated with main payroll providers.

I haven't used the support at Pike13 directly. Our franchisor's IT department serves as an intermediary and seeks support at Pike13 on our behalf when required.

Both Teachable and Kajabi are much higher priced. I feel like the look of Teachable is no better than MemberVault, and so I wouldn't want to pay more for that platform. Kajabi is much more aesthetically pleasing in how it looks and all you can do, but the price is at least 3-4 times more per month. I also wanted a platform that would let me have few people, and they let me start on a free plan initially. The others did not.

I have not used similar products.

• Since starting with MemberVault 4 years ago, I went from 0 customers to 850 clients, with about 220 paying customers.
• I've grown my mailing list by about 1000 by using this platform.
• I wish they worked with all email providers because I have to pay more for Zapier. This hurts my sales profit.
• Their plan to grandfather us into the price we originally paid helps me save money each year as I add more products.

Incentivized

• The notification of scheduled events, helps ensure employees know when their schedule has been modified, which cuts down on employees arriving late, etc.
• The notifications to customers of when their payment methods are expiring, etc helps to ensure they can update their information through the customer portal themselves which cuts down on administrative time.
