Pros
The community is Awesome and they have always over-delivered. Very, Very Happy with Wishlist Member.
Very glad I bought it, the customer service is also great and very responsive.
An affordable, customizable membership platform that, once learned is pretty easy to navigate. The ability to customize almost every aspect of the membership site.
Cons
It's confusing to use and has very limited design functionality. Also, the support and customer service is extremely lacking.
It's a fairly confusing product to use. I'm never quite sure if I'm doing anything right when I'm working with the settings.
Sometimes hard to implement because of so much possibilities.

Robust and easy to use membership plugin

Reviewed 3 years ago

All those years using Wishlist Member have been stress free. We might stumbled upon a bug one time that required support and a plugin update. Overall our experience has been fantastic. We can't say the same from their competition.

Pros

It just works as you would expect a membership plugin to work with dripping. No strange bugs with modules released too soon, too late, not released at all, or released when they shouldn't... This wordpress plugin is seriously and regularly maintained by a trusted team.

Cons

Last time I checked, the API documentation could use an update. You have to patch together an old PDF with articles in the online knowledge base to get all the informations you need to communicate with the plugin and build your own custom logic on the top of it.

Vendor response

We love reading feedback like this. Thanks so much for taking the time to review WishList Member. We appreciate it.

Useful product, but leaves much to be desired

Reviewed 8 years ago

Overall, I'm pleased with the service of Wishlist Member, but I have a few thoughts that I hope will be useful feedback. 1. The support is very slow. I submitted a help ticket a couple of days ago and still haven't even been acknowledged. I'm sure they'll get to it, but if this was an urgent problem is would be very frustrating. 2. It's a fairly confusing product to use. I'm never quite sure if I'm doing anything right when I'm working with the settings. Troubleshooting the product is really difficult too because I'm never sure how to even identify which part of the system is the issue. 3. The product is surprisingly lacking in design functionality. I could even figure out how to customize the button for my sales page. Something as simple as editing the text, size, and color of a button shouldn't be complicated for the user. 4. With all of this being said, I think it's a nice alternative to some of the really expensive software for courses out there, but it seems to be overly simplistic. Hopefully this is helpful! -Seth

Pros

I like that it's a cheap alternative to other online course software.

Cons

It's confusing to use and has very limited design functionality. Also, the support and customer service is extremely lacking.

Vendor response

Thanks for the review. We checked our ticket system. It looks like you submitted a ticket at the end of a work day and there was a follow up first thing the following morning. The reply may have been caught in your spam/junk mail filter. You can also login to the customer center to check tickets directly. We typically answer all tickets within one working day.

This is the one to pick if you use Wordpress

Reviewed a year ago

WishList is one of the "old school" programs that I learned about when I first got into digital marketing in 2003. I met the original [sensitive content hidden] at one of my first seminars. I like that it is mature software and is run by a company that has been around a long time and likely plans to stay around. It integrates with everything I need and doesn't break my site when it has an update. Even if it doesn't directly integrate with something, I can use Pabbly Connect to expand my options. If you use Wordpress and have more than 10 sites, this is the one you want.

Pros

I was able to transition from using another (also very good) Wordpress membership plugin called Digital Access Pass when I had an opportunity to purchase a 50 site license with WishList Member. I use Wordpress for pretty much everything and this is an easy way for me to add a simple (or more involved) membership portal to any site I want. I can drip content, restrict certain parts of my site, and set up payments. I prefer to use Wordpress and a membership plugin like this to more "all in one" solutions because I like the flexibility to design things exactly the way I want.

Cons

While it is not super complicated, there is a learning curve to it and it's not always clear what to do first if you're not already somewhat familiar with membership software or Wordpress. I kept needing to backtrack because I couldn't progress to the next step without already having some things decided such as membership levels, types of access, etc. I found myself getting frustrated that the tutorial videos were more about the bare basic mechanics of the software and not more helpful to guide me on what elements I should already have in place.

Tried & True WishList Member Is For You

Reviewed 4 years ago

I probably overdid it in the Pro's category but I've been a huge fan of WishList Member for many years. I have used way more membership plugins than I'd care to say and still use a couple of them - mainly because I'm too lazy to switch them, and if it ain't broke don't fix them. I can say though that if any of those other membership plugins ever do break it is an easy choice to move them over to a WishList Member set up. WishList Member has set the bar pretty high. So if anyone reading this is not sure about which membership plugin to use then I can highly suggest you try WishList Member - you will not be disappointed.

Pros

It does what most membership plugins do - it protects content on your WordPress site. What separates WishList Member from the rest of the pack is it has the rare distinction of constantly improving upon itself by adding new features WITHOUT breaking any of the existing features. Specifically the integrations with 3rd party tools. Payment processors, Learning Management Systems, Physical or digital products, you name it, and if it currently isn't easily integrated just ask through their Feature Request/Suggestion page. So constant improvements are for me the biggest "Pro" but a very close second is their Support. They have normal business hours and I have yet to post a support ticket during those hours and not received a reply within a couple of hours. If I submit a request after hours, it is first thing in the morning when I get the reply. Not just a one-sentence reply that seems typical for many other support teams, but a detailed guide on solving my issue and so far I've yet to stump them. Long story short <too late> the Pro's are Constant improvement and Support.

Cons

I'm sure there are but for me, I've not found any Con's

Vendor response
