"We've looked at a few different membership tools which came as part of the packages we'd put our money into. But none of them can compete with the Member. There's certainly lots of awesome things that users have been building throughout time. But when it comes to customizing, if you use WordPress it's impossible to do this. Naturally, I'm biased, however we've earned thousands of dollars through this program."
