"We've tested a few other membership tools that included in packages we'd invested in. However, nothing can compare to Membership. There's certainly lots of awesome products that folks have been building through the years. When it comes down to personalization, if your use WordPress there's no way to alter this. Of course, I'm biased, however we've earned millions of dollars because of this program."
