Bottom line

WildApricot is a cloud platform that runs membership, dues, events, donations and member websites for small and mid-sized membership organizations. Its clearest strength is that membership records, payments, events and email work together without custom integration. The main cost to watch is that there is no free plan, and the price rises with contact count, with multi-chapter setups quoted by sales. Choose it if you run a club, association, chapter or nonprofit that needs one system for members and money.

Choose WildApricot iftrade and professional associations, or nonprofits and charities running events and donations.

Look elsewhere ifbusinesses needing a free plan with no trial expiration, or teams needing a full CRM for sales pipelines.

What is WildApricot?

WildApricot is cloud membership management software for member-based organizations. It keeps membership records, dues, event registrations, donations, email and a member-facing website in one browser-based system, so staff spend less time on recurring administrative work. The core problem it addresses is the patchwork of spreadsheets, payment tools and separate websites that small associations, clubs, chapters and charities often rely on.

Day to day, administrators manage a searchable member database and update records in real time. Membership renewals, reminders and recurring charges can be automated, and members can update their own card information and pay outstanding fees. Event pages and registration forms are built from customizable templates, with waitlists, guest registration, custom pricing, discount codes and automated promotional, confirmation and reminder emails. Email campaigns use member segmentation and templates, and sequences can trigger based on member actions. A drag-and-drop website builder with mobile-friendly themes lets organizations publish public pages and a members-only portal without coding.

The platform is aimed at nonprofits, associations, chambers, clubs, charities and chapters. Pricing is based on the number of contacts in the database, with tiers from 100 up to 50,000. The 100-contact tier costs $66 per month billed monthly, or $59.40 per month when prepaid for one year, and it includes the same features as every other tier. Multi-chapter organizations can request custom pricing and separate chapter websites, and onboarding support is included at no extra cost.

What sets WildApricot apart from general-purpose tools is that membership is the core object rather than an add-on. Dues, member types, member directories, committee tools and member self-service sit alongside event ticketing, donation forms with recurring giving, and an online store with inventory tracking. Flat-rate pricing with no setup, training or per-transaction fees from WildApricot itself makes costs easier to predict, although payment processor fees still apply.

Event listings include images, custom registration forms, waitlists and guest registration. Members can pay online, and admins can check in attendees and manage waitlists and event emails from the mobile app.

Donations and recurring giving

Donation forms can be placed directly on the website without redirects. Recurring donations, a fundraising progress gadget and filterable donation records help nonprofits track giving over time.

Email campaigns and sequences

Templates support dynamic content drawn from custom fields, and campaigns can target member segments. Sequences can trigger based on member actions, and built-in tracking reports on opens and engagement.

Drag-and-drop member website

Mobile-friendly themes and a drag-and-drop editor let organizations build public pages and a members-only portal without coding. Widgets can embed membership applications and event calendars into existing sites.

Payments and financial reporting

Invoices and receipts are generated automatically for each transaction, and payments are tracked in one dashboard. Financial data can be exported to QuickBooks or CSV, and members can self-serve their card information.

Integrations and API

Native connections include WordPress, Google Calendar, Zapier and Make, and the admin and member APIs allow custom development. Webhooks notify external systems when contacts, memberships, events or finances change.
