### "Fantastic software and brilliant customer service!"

November 11, 2022

5.0

Brilliant! The team are really quick to respond and very thorough with the step to step videos of how to work the software in the most efficient and easiest way. It saves me so much time each term when calculating all invoices and keeping an eye on all customers to keep them all upto with news and check in with my customers to ensure they are all happy with our services!

Pros

I like how communicative the team are when dealing with questions, in a very quick and helpful manner. I would highly recommend using membermeister to organise your school, business, life!

Cons

I am really happy with the software and any requests that I have asked for have been put onto the system shortly after my feedback.

Reason for choosing membermeister

It was recommended

MM saves me heaps of time and keeps everything running smoothly for me - worth every penny.

Pros

Seamless process to convert from basic excel spreadsheets - all taken care of by exceptional support from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\].

Cons

My 1 wish would be for the system to record credits for cancelled lessons and auto deduct from next invoice run.

### "Elite Dancers Academy - Membermeister experience "

August 24, 2016

4.0

The support from the team is fantastic, anything that i have struggled with technically they have been a great help in demonstrating with videos and instructions. I have a growing dance school business so it is great to have something to help organise my database and generate invoices.

Pros

\- The ability to email classes from a professional system - The ability to log all the client information with ease - invoice system is great to keep track of who has paid and who is due to pay

Cons

\- I still struggle with how i can invoice one parent for their two or three children who are in different classes

Pros

The excellent customer service support, the ease of invoicing and communication with participants - a he time saver!

Cons

Nothing really - it has been a good experience overall. Some things were harder to get to grips with the many ways of invoicing etc - but the fast responses to my queries were quickly dealt with

### "Fabulous software "

December 15, 2023

5.0

Very positive experience with membermeister. The help desk team are very knowledgeable and quick at responding.

Pros

Don’t have to download and install programmes as it’s cloud based meaning no time wasted doing updates. It’s a very user friendly dashboard

Cons

There is nothing that I dislike about membermeister

Switched from

[DanceBiz](https://www.capterra.com/p/131208/DanceBiz/)

Dancebiz is based on a very outdated ‘Microsoft access’ style system which is clunky and not very user friendly. Dancebiz is a bit like a well known flight company where you pay X for your seat and then they add a bit on for your bag, and a bit more for a nice seat etc! Membermeister is just one set fee!

### "Membermeister is fab!"

July 21, 2020

5.0

Membermeister are extremely friendly, helpful and supportive - explaining things very clearly. Their responses are also incredibly fast - I've always managed to get help within an hour of needing it!

Pros

Membermeister is very simple to use - it took very little time to 'learn' which meant I could get on with running my business almost immediately after switching software. This was brilliant and the team at Membermeister were incredibly helpful, going out of their way to help me transfer my customer data and get set up.

Cons

There is nothing I dislike - the team are constantly adding new features which is fantastic. Occasionally I think of a different way a certain feature could function, but know the Membermeister team are happy and willing to listen to suggestions and take them in board to further improve the software.

### "A complete solution for membership management"

January 18, 2026

5.0

Our overall experience with Membermeister has been excellent. Being able to manage memberships, registers, billing, attendance, and communication all in one place has completely changed how we run our organisation. It has removed the need for multiple systems and manual spreadsheets, significantly reducing admin time and stress. Having everything live, accurate, and accessible gives us real confidence that things are running smoothly behind the scenes. It feels professional, reliable, and genuinely supportive, and we would not want to run our organisation without it now.

Pros

Membermeister brings everything together in one place, which has completely transformed how we run our organisation. Memberships, registers, billing, attendance, and communication all work seamlessly together, saving an enormous amount of time and admin. The system feels well thought out and genuinely designed for organisations like ours. The customer support is outstanding and always friendly, responsive, and helpful, which makes a huge difference day to day.

Cons

We have found that the more we use Membermeister, the more value we get from it. It is a system that rewards engagement and grows with your organisation.

### "Excellent company and system - highly recommend. "

January 9, 2025

5.0

Very good. Always helpful. Lovely team. Wouldn't want to run my stage school without it.

Pros

How well structured and easily organised it is to look at. It's very efficient and I love how easy the team are to get hold of if I have any issues or questions. Plus they always take suggestions and feedback on board and actually implement our ideas to improve the system to our needs.

Cons

It is very expensive so I do have to justify paying for it over other software systems. I choose to pay for it as a luxury because I feel it really saves time and helps me but it is an expense I have to justify.

### "Getting started was incredibly easy. The experience since has been everything we wanted."

May 13, 2018

5.0

More accurate information about students attendance and invoicing.

Pros

The simplicity of creating invoices and seeing who has not yet paid and sending them out reminders. The ease of setting up and taking class registers.

Cons

It is not designed for invoicing Pay As You Go students, but with customer representative's assistance we have found a very workable solution. You need wifi access to take the registers, but you can easily create printable registers. They are working on an app that I hope will solve this one.

### "Great Product, Great Service!"

January 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

Membermeister is really user friendly; it does everything I need it to do and more making the management of my performing arts school so much easier than it was before I discovered the software. Invoicing and communicating with students and their parents are now a piece of cake and it's great to have my database of students stored in one secure location that I can access anywhere, I really couldn't and wouldn't be without it. Added to all of this the help and support I receive is always incredibly friendly!

Cons

I love everything about Membermeister! I would love it even more if it was possible to manage all of my accounts through the software too, if this might be something for the future?

### "Membermeister review "

September 16, 2020

5.0

Very positive and would recommend to anyone who needs a programme that manages everything effectively for them!

Pros

They’re a great team to work with and it has all the functions you could ask for! I can’t really fault this software as without it I would not be able to run my school as I do! It doesn’t everything you could want and is really easy to use.

Cons

This is hard as there’s not much I dislike! You do have to pay for it but in my eyes, it’s all totally worth it

### "The transition to Membermeister has been an easy and positive one!"

June 27, 2017

5.0

Pros

It is very simple to use, aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate your way around. I cannot rave enough about the customer representative and the help he has given us over the months we have been using it. We are a large and very busy school which has often meant turning to him for advise on how best to do things. He always then comes back with the support I require and leads me in the right direction. I have found it much easier to print registers, find information, email pupils etc than with previous systems. I feel the system is also very user friendly when it comes to training new members of staff or even our teachers (without an admin background) who need to use it from time to time too. Overall I am very happy with the move to Membermeister.

Cons

My only thing I would say is that due to our large volume of data in the system it can run slow especially when loading large pages like our student or term overview. This is the only reason I deducted one star from the Functionality score.

### "I would be lost without Membermeister! I can't remember how I even kept track of everything before. "

February 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love the ability to check payments, class numbers and all admin info in one place. The medical box is extremely helpful and so is the ability to print registers if needed. Being able to connect to GoCardless makes payment easier for our students and families and ties everything together professionally. Using TAGS has been useful, especially to when students need to move up an age group or to list what numbers they are in in a show or even to see how many boys you have v girls!

Cons

I would like to see totals at the end of some of the invoice/payment pages and on the front page when you hover on the bar chart. I would like to see the forecast revenue for each class reflect the actual amounts that include student discounts applied rather than the best possible cost. Although the link to GoCardless is excellent, we would like to see payments made a little quicker to our bank.

Review Source

Response from membermeister

February 14, 2018

Many thanks for this fantastic review Amanda. We also appreciate your feedback. The GoCardless payouts should be quicker in the future as the latest update reuses existing mandates which shortens the payout cycle.

### "Membermeister use"

April 27, 2020

5.0

See above. Membermeister hold my hand when I have a problem

Pros

I am the least techie person in the world, so if I can manage Membermeister then anyone can! If I do have a problem, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and his team answer - clearly and patiently- within an hour. I don't know how I would do without Membermeister now

Cons

Nothing. It's me that can't remember the odd thing.

Reason for choosing membermeister

### "Membermeister has made the running of our dance studio MUCH more straightforward."

September 15, 2017

5.0

It makes our admin much simpler and more efficient.

Pros

The best thing about it is everything is in one place: student info, communications, invoices and so on, rather than having to hop between different bits of software. The fact that an enquiry can come through our website and go straight onto the Membermeister system is awesome, it saves a lot of time and labour.

Cons

Sometimes it is a little clumsy or long-winded to have to come back to a main page to move on, ie it would be good to have "Next" buttons for students and classes. Also we hope that soon we can integrate our monthly gocardless direct debits too, alongside the invoiced gocardless payments.

Thanks for your excellent review. We've considered adding a dropdown menu to allow you to jump from one class to another, it sounds like that would be useful to you and we'll try and expedite that feature.

The team have been so helpful and supportive during our set up. Always available to help and iron out any issues or answer questions. Really happy with it all so far.

Pros

It's easy to get to grips with. Lots of ways to recover data to assist making decisions and working things out.

Cons

Not easy to link students into families so ease invoices. Occasionally emails don't get to all recipients.

### "Membermeister saves me so much time "

July 30, 2017

5.0

Pros

Membermeister saves me so much admin time by making invoices in an instant. I can also track payments easily and send reminders meaning I never miss out on getting paid. My registers and invoices are so much more professional than before, keeping my customers happy! Customer service is exceptional, if ever I have any troubles using the software (which is rare as it is so user friendly) my questions are answered swiftly and completely. I had always been hesitant about getting something like this in the past as I thought the transfer would be difficult and time consuming but my records were all transferred across for me and set up ready for me to use.

We met these great guys at Move it last year and we've not looked back! The idea of having all your students registers and details organised and logged on a live system is amazing. We sent our registers to Stefan and Paul and they input the information into classes and then in September we were ready to go. It is so nice to have a system that does everything for you and all the teachers can use it. I highly recommend this product. Thank you Stefan and Paul for all your help.

Pros
