Wild Apricot is an association management platform that emphasizes automation of member lifecycle management (i.e. attract, engage, renew), and also assists with receiving online payments and payment processing, and website content and engagement.
Wild Apricot was acquired by Personify Corp in 2017.
The platform is well-suited for managing recurring subscriptions, offering flexible pricing models, and integrating with websites and apps for a seamless user experience. It excels in handling complex billing needs, such as tiered subscriptions or trial periods. However, it may be less appropriate for eCommerce businesses focused on one-off purchases, as its strengths lie in subscription-based models rather than traditional retail transactions.
It is well suited to our environment, that's why I chose it. Where it might not be as successful is in operations such as gyms, where specific areas or equipment need to be scheduled.
Automate member renewals and provide reminders for members with automatic renewal
Tracking of member donations and the ability for a member to retrieve detailed donation receipt/acknowledgement for a variety fo donation types (in-kind, cash, etc)
Provide integration between membership records and the association's website - using either the integrated CMS or code snippets
Track member financials - open invoices, paid invoices
Enable event management for both free and paid events
When compared to iMIS, Wild Apricot is an order of magnitude easier to implement and use. It is also a tool that can be administered without a considerable amount of outside support and expense. Wild Apricot is also a more fully integrated system that does not require complicated module licensing and the associated costs. iMIS is also much more expense than Wild Apricot Ultimate Membership Pro (UMP) is a WordPress plugin solution for managing association memberships. Since this is an add-on software, the cost is a small faction of the expense associated with Wild Apricot. The feature set of Wild Apricot is more extensive than the capabilities of of UMP, however, Wild Apricot is easier to use and understand that UMP. Being a hosted solution, Wild Apricot is also much more stable and predictable.
