### "Joinit has rescued of from WildApricot"

September 4, 2020

5.0

My organization used Wildapricot before. It made doing all we wanted to do kind of simple, combining website building, emailing, selling tickets, and taking payments in one program. Problem is, it didn't do any of those things very well. Our website felt like it was built on Windows 95, and doing anything was just sort of a pain. Lots of bugs that I had to learn to work around. I was looking for something that would allow us to offer membership discount and also have an awesome website. I wanted to start selling through eventbrite, so people not in our community could learn about our events. I found JoinIt, which looked better than anything else in my research, and haven't looked back. This company understands the modern world. They integrate with the best technologies. And they excel in service, knowing that's the best way to serve their bottom line. I'm very excited, and anticipate the program will only get better.

Pros

The ease of use, integration with leading software, and impressive customer support.

Cons

It's still pretty new, and some cool features are still in Beta stage (member directory, uploading contacts)

Switched from

[WildApricot](https://www.capterra.com/p/76116/WildApricot/)

WildApricot was limited and clunky. Most importantly, their website builder doesn't compare to WordPress, nor does their email compare to MailChimp, nor do the events have the benefits of Eventbrite- which I am now liberated to use because of JoinIt.

Hi Dominic, Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so glad Join It's ease of use, integrations, and support felt like a breath of fresh air after Wild Apricot, and that pairing us with best-in-class tools like Eventbrite and Mailchimp gave you the flexibility you were looking for. We also appreciate you flagging the member directory and contact upload features while they're still in Beta, we're actively working on them and your patience means a lot as they come along. Thank you for choosing Join It, Dominic. We're excited for you to see where things go from here! Warmly, The Join It Team

### "Join It has been a great help to our organization"

May 14, 2026

5.0

It has significantly helped with getting new members and simplifying the renewal process. There are certain monthly reports we need and generating those reports is very easy.

Pros

Helped us automate a mainly manual membership system, they provide customer great support. In the past all memberships renewed on Dec 31, which created a huge amount of work for an all-volunteer work force to get people to renew. Reporting is now much simpler as well.

Cons

Some features that I've requested have not yet been implemented. There is not much I don't like about Join It.

### "They say it is specifically developed for chambers of commerce. It is not!"

March 9, 2026

1.0

I introduced our organisation, how we operate and manage membership and our needs when meeting the sales person online. Apart from a few things that require upgrade, I was promised that the platform would be adapted to the majority of our needs and requirements. It was not. Making the payment by transfer was also a headache, which shouldn't be if they target non-profit which don't always have corporate credit cards to pay online. In addition, the person who did the onboarding call was unprepared, asking me what I wanted to learn or know, going through the platform in 5 minutes, instead of asking questions about our processes to clearly show me how to use the platform. The only thing that works properly is the client support: they are reactive and professional. Unfortunately, they come too late, after you have been sold a product which is not adapted to your needs even if you were promised that it would be.

Pros

There client support teams are reactive and answer quickly when contacted in the chat. Not much apart from this.

Cons

This platform presents itself as being specifically adapted to chambers of commerce, which it is not. It does not support organisation-based membership, it hardly support offline payment, it doesn't allow to modify company profiles in batches (it need to be done individually for every employee of the company), it doesn't prevent individuals to modify the membership type of their companies (which is a problem when you have membership types based on specific criteria), and their online directory doesn't allow to run searches by sectors or other custom fields (which makes it de facto useless). Yet, their sales team will promise you that their platform can do all that. Finally, their onboarding process is a joke, and it takes one month just for the platform to be operational once you have faced issues after issues.

### "​User-Friendly and Great Customer Service"

June 19, 2026

5.0

Pros

​Join It has made managing our membership incredibly easy, even for those of us who aren't super tech-savvy. The interface is intuitive, but what really sets them up is their customer support. We recently had a call with Frano, and he was fantastic. He walked us through the platform and showed us exactly how to maximize our opportunities and get the most out of everything they offer. Highly recommend!

Cons

The only minor downside is that managing the admin dashboard from a cellphone can be a little clunky. It's still doable, but the platform definitely shines and is much easier to navigate when you're on a desktop or laptop.

Hi Danielle, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this — and for the perfect 10/10! We're thrilled to hear Join It has made managing your membership so much easier, especially for team members who aren't naturally tech-savvy. That's exactly what we aim for. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Frano — he'll be so glad to know his walkthrough helped you get more out of the platform. That's what he loves doing! We also appreciate you flagging the mobile experience for the admin dashboard. We're always working on ways to make Join It even smoother on every device, and feedback like yours helps us prioritize what to improve next. Thanks again for being part of the Join It community, Danielle. We're grateful to have you, and we're here anytime you need us! Warmly, The Join It Team

### "A solid choice for Club management"

March 24, 2023

4.0

Pros

Integrations will other apps a small club needs such as Mailchimp, Eventbrite and Quickbooks.Once setup mostly works by itself to track membership payments and renewals

Cons

No API or access to backend in basic edition, there is webhooks in more expensive version.

Alternatives considered

[WildApricot](https://www.capterra.com/p/76116/WildApricot/)

Reason for choosing Join It

Wild Apricot was the only other option really and I chose Joinit because it could connect to other apps and was not just one big app like Wild Apricot. From time to time i do question the decision because there are features I want that i can't get or add to my current version of joinit

August 4, 2026

Hi Michael, Thank you for the thoughtful review and for sticking with Join It for over two years! We're glad the Mailchimp, Eventbrite, and QuickBooks integrations have made life easier, and that renewals and payments now largely run themselves once set up. We also appreciate you flagging the API and webhook access — that's exactly the kind of detail that helps us think through what belongs in each plan tier. If it'd be useful, we're happy to walk through what's available on higher tiers or hear more about what you're hoping to build. Thanks for choosing Join It over Wild Apricot, Michael, and for the honest feedback! Warmly, The Join It Team

### "Very Happy JoinIT User"

December 7, 2021

5.0

The key business problems we were trying to resolve in this organisation was to provide a better user experience for people becoming members of the organisation. We wanted a system that was easy to administer and easy for end-users. We also wanted end users to be in control of their own information. Finally, we wanted a system that integrated with other tools that we were using so that we could mix-and-match best-of-breed solutions together. JoinIT provides what we need. We actually implemented JoinIT based on the recommendation of another organisation and we are pleased we did. Implementation and migration were very simple and the people supporting JoinIT are very friendly and helpful.

Pros

Setting up membership types, the integrations with leading tools, and the ability to accept online processing payments via credit card were all big draws for this software. The software is also incredibly easy to use.

Cons

There are some Quality of Live improvements that could be made to the user experience such as the ability to get an invoice directly from an user's membership record (instead of clicking through to the payment processor's website), the ability to store a document in a membership record (some memberships can require verification of eligibility), and having more freedom/flexibility in payment processors (Stripe is okay, but some more competition is never a bad thing). But none of these are deal-breakers.

Alternatives considered

[ClubExpress](https://www.capterra.com/p/42550/ClubExpress/)[MemberPlanet](https://www.capterra.com/p/131768/MemberPlanet/)

Reason for choosing Join It

The other products weren't really designed to be modular, meaning that we basically had to turn over all aspects of our services to them so it felt like we would be locked in. Also, we were already using best-of-breed solutions out on the marketplace, so we wanted to continue using them and retain control of most of our extended IT infrastructure. Only JoinIT seemed to allow that quickly and easily.

August 4, 2026

Hi Rodney, Thank you for such a thorough review! We love that Join It's modular, best-of-breed approach let you keep the tools you already trusted, rather than locking you into one big system like ClubExpress or MemberPlanet — that flexibility is exactly what we're going for. We really appreciate the quality-of-life suggestions too: direct invoice access, document storage on membership records, and more payment processor options. These are the kinds of details that help us prioritize what's next, so thank you for laying them out so clearly. Thank you for choosing Join It, Rodney, and for the perfect 10/10. We're so glad implementation felt easy and that our team has been helpful along the way! Warmly, The Join It Team

### "ACTUALLY FREE for small organizations and truly functional!"

December 2, 2021

4.0

The plain-but-functional free version got us up and running pretty fast. I haven't had much experience yet with back-end management/monitoring of members, so I can't comment on workflows, but I expect them to be pretty good from what I can see.

Pros

The only actually free membership management software I found for tiny nonprofits (under 100 members). If we grew out of our tiny size, I would likely get a paid version of Join It. It was smart and generous of Join It to offer a truly free option. Sure you don't get all the fancy features, but even the stripped-down feature set is truly functional. It was pretty easy to get up and running and integrate the service with our (Wix) website.

Cons

There are a few tweaks that could be done to the back end to make it more intuitive where users go to access various settings and things. For instance, the membership type description is not shown on the summary of the membership type. One has to know to click EDIT DETAILS to make updates. There was no ability to include graphics with the membership types to spiff up a membership page on a website, though I think I have discovered a workaround by designing my own page and linking graphics/buttons to the URLs individual membership types (glad Join It includes those!).

Alternatives considered

[Flipcause](https://www.capterra.com/p/136488/Flipcause/)[WildApricot](https://www.capterra.com/p/76116/WildApricot/)

Reason for choosing Join It

It was the only truly free alternative for small nonprofits like mine (under 100 members). Others are just limited 30-day trials. This one won't expire and if I have the good fortune of increasing my organization's membership past the limit, I can just grow into a paid version.

August 4, 2026

Hi Larry, Thank you for this generous review! We're proud to offer a truly free option for small nonprofits like yours, no expiration, no catch, and it's great to hear it got you up and running quickly with your Wix site. We also appreciate the detail on the back end: making membership type descriptions visible without needing to click into Edit Details, and adding graphics support for membership pages. Clever workaround with the linked URLs in the meantime! Feedback like this helps us keep improving the experience for everyone. Thank you for choosing Join It, Larry, and for the perfect 10/10.

### "Highly Recommended"

June 20, 2020

5.0

Amazing. We had a few issues with syncing 3rd party items (entirely our fauly for making errors prior to joining this platform). Join IT went out of their way to not only help identify the problem but also recommend a solution. 10/10

Pros

We love using Join It. Their customer service is amazing and goes beyond what was expected and what ive recieved from any other company. My organization loved our free trial so much (30 days. ) we have decided to subscribe on an annual basis.

Cons

Obviously as a nonprofit justifying spending money is really hard. While we always would want things to be cheaper for us, the cost also was the lowest we had found for the best platform/features.

### "Good Potential Membership APP"

December 3, 2019

4.0

Very simple and good if you like minimalistic approach but high price for what you get.

Pros

I like the simple, minimalist approach. User friendly and really great customer support. Has all the basic features a small organization needs

Cons

Price is somewhat high compared to other full blown apps doing much more than joinit. To upload your members database you will need to submit manually to customer support. All other competing apps I have tried will do this automatically with your mapping input. Does not have webpage features, just very minimal and basic. Financial reports are lacking.

### "Finally a dedicated solution just to manage membership"

July 19, 2019

5.0

Overall, we are very satisfied with this product. We have tried several other alternatives that we had to use all sorts of workarounds to achieve our goals. Join It is a streamline membership management solution.

Pros

My favorite feature of Join It is that it focuses on managing memberships. Many of the other CRM solutions we discovered provide 25 features, but are lacking on member management.

Cons

Sometimes the website is slow and data entry takes a bit too long.

Switched from

[Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/)

### "JoinIt works very well for our non-profit!"

October 27, 2021

4.0

We have been very happy with the implementation of JoinIt. We look forward to further integrating it into streamlining the member experience and providing more cross functional tracking once our Club returns to more normal post-COVID activities.

Pros

We love the integration with Mailchimp and Eventbrite. But my favorite thing about JoinIt has been their amazing customer service. It made it so much easier to get set up and they are incredibly responsive. We're a very traditional non-profit that has been using manual processes for years. We were anticipating a much more difficult transition to the 21st century, but JoinIt made it surprisingly painless.

Cons

There is a lack of flexibility in some areas, ie configuration of the payment page for new members. Also, there is some limitation in capabilities of the communication tools. But given the price entry point, these are minor issues and can be worked around with other tools.

Reason for choosing Join It

That's helpful context as we keep building, and we're glad workarounds kept things moving in the meantime. Thank you for choosing Join It, Gordon. We're excited to keep growing alongside your club as things get back to normal! Warmly, The Join It Team

### "Love this product"

April 10, 2023

5.0

Amazing experience with customer support.

Pros

Before Join It, managing memberships used to be such a hassle, but now everything's at my fingertips. I love how I can customize membership options for our members—different prices, durations, you name it! Plus, I can add custom fields to learn more about our members, like their favorite pool activities or snack preferences.One of the biggest improvements has been collecting annual dues. Payments are a breeze with Join It, and everything's transparent and secure. Members can pay online, and I get all the financial reports I need. No more chasing after people for dues or fumbling with cash and checks!Another amazing thing is the automated emails. Whether it's a friendly reminder to renew their membership or an update about a fun pool party, I can easily keep in touch with our members. They love the personalized digital membership cards too—it makes them feel like they're part of our special pool family.But what really won my heart was Join It's customer support. I'm not the most tech-savvy person, but their team was so patient and helpful. Whenever I had questions or needed a hand, they were there for me, and it felt like they truly cared about making things easier for our pool community.

Cons

There is very little. The things that I would like to have seen was an ability to better manage the group accounts. Right now everything is at the row by row user level based on each record. It would be useful to be able to have the main membership viewer organize by membership owner so that each family unit was a line item rather than each person. It would be useful to have more batching operations at the family unit level. It would be useful to have an integrated survey functionality within the application as a part of the email templates. It would also be useful to be able to sell "day pass" memberships from the shopping cart, right now I have to setup Square separately to handle these transactions. All in all, I love your product

Reason for choosing Join It

Best value for capabilities.

July 23, 2020

Simply put, I couldn't be more pleased.

Pros

I spent around 2 months doing evaluations of this type of solution. For the size and type group we represent, this is the answer! The User Interface is well organized, and just makes sense! Doesn't contain a lot of features that we won't use. Support is the absolute BEST I encountered. No waiting up to 24 hours for an email response. Their use of the chat "Intercom" solution was immediately responsive.

Cons

Wish it had an embedded Event Manager. Minor - Arrangement of Custom Fields for the signup form is a bit awkward, but manageable.

November 11, 2020

5.0

There really isn't anything bad you can say about this product. I did a fair bit of research and am glad I landed on this. All you need to do is change some of the "Americanisms" in the template emails etc but apart from that, this is ready to go for even the smallest databases. In fact we started with zero and are now in a health four figure range thanks to the way this works. Obviously this comes highly recommended.

Pros

Easy to use interface Integration with MailChimp Customer support

There is no integration with PayPal but understand that this is on its way

### "Join it review"

April 7, 2021

4.0

For the most part my experience with Join It has been positive but there are times I get a little frustrated by the little things that I am not able to do.

Pros

Pros for Joinit: Easily integrates with Mail Chimp; mass emailing; member information available to view; membership lists are downloadable

Cons

Cons for Joinit: Cannot include attachments in a general mass email; when viewing members, when you view members, using the sort it drop down to "members name -- A-Z or Z-A" it alphabetizes by first name, not last name; when you view a member's personal information page and then back out, it takes you back to the beginning not where you left off

### "Using Join It to Manage Memberships in Nonprofit Organization "

February 22, 2021

5.0

Overall, we are very pleased with our Join It experience.

Pros

The membership renewal feature (automatic emails) is very effective and saves time. The merge memberships feature is very useful!

Cons

Inputting offline payments (e.g., from checks or cash) took a bit of time (and trial and error) to understand. But after we entered several and corrected some of our mistakes, we understood how all of the fields worked, and it made sense.

Reason for choosing Join It

Join It was recommended by our website developer for managing memberships to our nonprofit organization. The website developer set up a lot of the links for us, but it was easy for our board of directors to learn how to use the software. Join It provides prompt and excellent feedback when we submit questions using the chat feature.

### "JoinIt Worth Every Penny"

October 6, 2020

5.0

Excellent. There's really no other word for it.

Pros

JoinIt made it very easy to establish membership levels and then change them as needed. As a new organization we knew we wanted to make an introductory offer to our legacy mailing list, but we weren't sure what the second phase would look like when we opened up to the public. Once we decided we were able to immediately implement the program with incredible ease.

Cons

It's hard to find a knock against this platform. As the executive director of our organization I'm pretty busy with work in a number of areas and needed something we could rely on which was also intuitive and user-friendly. JoinIt provided all the bells and whistles we needed right away, and right at our fingertips.

Reason for choosing Join It

Our consultant gave us several options for this component in our tech stack. JoinIt was not the least expensive one (although it was close) but seemed to be the best value by far. That initial perception was immediately borne out after we implemented it. Highly recommended.

### "Right price for the features we actually use. Very easy and user-friendly interface."

January 16, 2018

4.0

Our organization became more organized and felt more comfortable paying for the direct value that we were receiving.

Pros

We spent years using another membership management solution -- paying full price when we really only used two or three pieces of the product. We came across Join It through the ticketing and event management platform that we used. The fact that Join It integrated with the web apps that we already were using was a huge plus, e.g. MailChimp and Eventbrite, but the price point is what sold us. Relative to the other options out there, Join It seemed to provide the best value. We've loved it so far!

Cons

We've encountered one or two bugs as we became power users of their Eventbrite and MailChimp integrations. While the bugs were a source of frustrations temporarily, the team was responsive and helpful in finding a resolution.

### "Curvy Riders Membership Software"

June 1, 2020

5.0

When I had technical problems very recently, I was lucky enough to have \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] on the other end of my email conversation. She was just amazing and so helpful with her suggestions to work through my problem. She went above and beyond and was readily available all of the time. I have also had occasion to speak to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] on email and she also has been so helpful.

Pros

This software is so easy to use, however there are times I have a problem or two. It is user friendly and easy to understand.

Cons

There is a function to send out emails to our members, but no facility to save a copy of the email in the system. We do have a work around though which is really helpful.

### "Great program for Non-profit organization"

March 20, 2020

5.0

Pros

We are a small nonprofit with limited budget and no in house computer person. I'm a retired doctor and volunteered to try the program. It is simple to set up, flexible enough for our needs, and it synchs with MailChimp, QuickBooks, EventBrite as well as our website. Most important, however, is the incredibly excellent customer service available via chat. I can ask dumb questions and they're answered promptly. There has been much hand holding (from a distance), but I've got it doing what we've wanted to do for several years - have a members' data in a full functioning database that allows us to keep track of memberships, automates renewals, automates accounting, and streamlines our volunteering activities.

Cons

Some features, like a hard coded link to our web page, can not be removed from standard templates.

### "Awesome membership integration for Eventbrite"

June 29, 2017

5.0

Makes my life easier by recurring charges to customers adding discount codes and making it easy to do so.

Pros

It takes out the double work of adding discount codes to all of my events when a person subscribes to multiple events. Perfect for someone who hosts multiple events where a season subscriber is paying a recurring membership fee outside of eventbrite and needs access to multiple shows.

Cons

There are some potential options that seem very close to happening. Like an integration to analyze how many times a customer is using the code? Customer activity.

Hi Casey, Thank you for the perfect 10/10! We're so glad Join It has taken the double work out of managing discount codes for your season subscribers across multiple events, that kind of time savings is exactly what we're aiming for. We also appreciate you flagging customer activity tracking, seeing how often a code gets used. That's great input as we keep expanding what's possible with the Eventbrite integration. Thank you for choosing Join It, Casey! Warmly, The Join It Team

We've been tracking our members in spreadsheets, notebooks, homemade access databases for years. Such a pain! We recently revamped our website and started using Eventbrite, which integrates with Join It. SUCH a difference in member management. The automation and renewal features are amazing! Certainly making my life easier.

Pros

Automation features and renewal reminders

Cons

Had to open a Stripe account instead oof using paypal

Hi Joan, Thank you for taking the time to share this, even mid-transition!
