Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

MemberClicks

  • Pricing is not published, which is a marked step down in transparency from Wild Apricot at the tier below it
  • Annual contracts and implementation fees make it a considerably larger commitment than the per-month membership tools
  • The interface is dated in places, particularly the website content management
  • Migration from Wild Apricot is a real project despite the shared ownership, and buyers sometimes assume otherwise
  • Smaller associations will pay for chapter and continuing education machinery they never use

MobileCause

  • Custom pricing model lacks transparency, making cost forecasting difficult for nonprofits
  • Limited customization options for organizations with unique branding needs
  • Integration with payment processors requires additional setup and fees

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

MemberClicks: How does it differ from Wild Apricot?

Chapters, committees and continuing education credit tracking. Those structures are what make professional associations different from clubs, and they are where simpler tools fail.

MobileCause: What is the pricing structure?

MobileCause does not publicly list per-user pricing. Custom pricing starts around $250/month for SMBs and scales based on organization size and feature requirements.

MemberClicks: What does it cost?

Not published. It is an annual contract with implementation, quoted on member count and modules.

MemberClicks: Is migration from Wild Apricot easy?

Not automatically. Both are owned by Personify, but they are separate products and a migration is a project with data mapping and re-implementation.

MemberClicks: Does it handle continuing education?

Yes, including credit tracking and certification records, which is one of the main reasons professional bodies choose it.

MemberClicks: Who should not buy it?

Small clubs and associations without chapters or education requirements. The machinery that justifies the price will sit unused.
