Where each one falls short

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

Network for Good

  • No pricing information available; vendor directs to quote request form
  • Quote-only model with no public pricing transparency
  • Website redirects to demo/consultation request rather than pricing page

Wild Apricot

  • The website builder is dated and constrained, and organisations that care about their public site usually end up running a separate site alongside it
  • Pricing by contact count means lapsed members and non-member contacts push you into a higher tier unless the database is actively pruned
  • Every module is adequate rather than good, so any organisation with a serious need in one area will outgrow that part first
  • Reporting is basic, and detailed membership analysis generally means exporting to a spreadsheet
  • Migration away is painful once the website, database and event history all live inside it

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Network for Good: How does Network for Good price its offerings?

Network for Good does not publish pricing; interested customers must request a demo or contact sales directly for custom quotes.

Source
Wild Apricot: How is Wild Apricot priced?

By contact count, not by staff seat, starting at 60 USD a month for up to 100 contacts. Unlimited administrators is the practical benefit for volunteer-run organisations.

Network for Good: What products does Network for Good offer?

Network for Good provides fundraising, donor management, and event management solutions for nonprofit organizations.

Source
Wild Apricot: Do lapsed members count toward the limit?

Contacts count, which includes records beyond current paying members. Pruning the database matters, because tier boundaries are the main cause of unexpected cost increases.

Network for Good: Is there a free trial available?

Trial information is not available on the public website; customers must contact sales to discuss options.

Source
Wild Apricot: Is the website builder any good?

It is functional and dated. Organisations that care about their public web presence commonly run a separate site and use Wild Apricot for the member-only area.

Network for Good: What support is included?

Support details are not published online; customers should contact Network for Good to discuss service levels and support options.

Source
Wild Apricot: Can it handle fundraising?

Basic donation collection, yes. Organisations whose main activity is fundraising rather than membership are better served by a donor management platform.

Wild Apricot: When do organisations outgrow it?

Usually at a few thousand members, or earlier if one area — events, fundraising or the website — becomes central to the organisation rather than incidental.
