MemberPress Reviews

"It's good, but it can improve"

I think it would be better if you have more functionalities like BBPress. For the price I think it's not the whole value.

"Amazing Customizable Membership Product"

I was previously on Kajabi but could not get that product to look exactly how I wanted it to. Nor could I get the function. However, I knew I could on my own site but that left the problem of managing a membership and payment gateway. Enter here memberpress for the win! What a great solution that is straightforward to use and comes with so many amazing features like automatic emails, rules to guard content, and multiple membership options.

Review on Capterra.

"Poorly written, full of bugs, terrible support. AVOID."

Unfortunately, we could not be more disappointed with this product. Since launching our clients membership website, we have experienced major issues on an almost monthly basis. Many of these bugs have cost the company $$$. As a senior PHP developer, who has now thoroughly reviewed the mp code base (I had too, in order to fix the thing), I can say with full confidence that this software is absolutely not fit for production. The code quality is very poor, error handling is conspicuously absent and support team doesn't seem to care so much.
