“The price kept climbing.”
Wild Apricot’s base price is only the beginning. Once you add payment processing upgrades, advanced event features, and email marketing tools, your monthly bill looks nothing like what you signed up for.

Why Association Directors Leave Wild Apricot
Wild Apricot works — until it doesn’t. Here’s what we hear from directors who’ve made the switch to AMO.
“Our website and member system never talked to each other.”
Wild Apricot’s WordPress integration relies on third-party plugins that break on updates, create login confusion, and leave your site looking like two different products duct-taped together.
“Support was a ticket queue, not a human.”
When something breaks before your annual event, documentation and chatbots aren’t enough. AMO’s support team is real humans who respond in under 2 hours and already know your setup.

★★★★★
We began looking for a better way to capture, house and track our membership and their dues. Data that once took weeks to sort and verify, now happens with a few simple key strokes!
★★★★★
The AMO software is user-friendly, easy to learn, and can essentially be used out of the box. The software is robust and has a lot of features including custom fields for tracking information specific to your organization.
★★★★★
AMO’s support team is outstanding. Working in a two person office, time is precious to us and when we get in a pinch, their team is there to offer a solution in a timely manner.
