Hi Joe,

What an amazing list! I have been looking for a membership plugin for a WordPress website, and you shared some amazing options in this list. I really loved several options you shared in this article, and I am looking forward to checking them out. Since I am doing this research for a friend, I will share this article with him to let him know about all these options as well, and I really hope he can find the best one from this insightful list!

I’m with Pat and Nino shocked to not see Digital Access Pass (DAP) in your list. I’ve been a long time customer of DAP and they just keep getting better and better with each release.

Recently they added an LMS solution to their offering, which means I was able to dump one of the suggestions you have above. Their integration with their shopping cart (SPC) and the customer support team that goes over and above makes them superstars for me in the world of membership plugins.

I’d have to second Pat’s comment. I’ve been using Digital Access Pass for myself and my clients for years for the simple fact it has massive amount of needed features and super responsive support. Very surprised it’s not on this list.

Love the list! I’m super surprised DAP (Digital Access Pass) isn’t on here. It’s the most feature rich WordPress plugin by far! I’ve used some of the plugins mentioned and they work great. No issues. But when I want certain functionalities and automations it’s not possible. With DAP anything is possible 🙂

I initially used Magic Membership but soon found their app unworkable for what I wanted. They were and still continue to be extremely obstructive when I asked for a refund within the 30 day Money back Guarantee. Their invoice they sent wouldn’t print out properly and now I having the pass the matter over to my bank in order to reclaim the funds. You should not be recommending Magic members it is an extremely dogy app that should be flagged as fraudulent.

I, too, noticed this discrepancy.

$19.95 a month sounds ideal, working out at around $240 over a year.

If it is a monthly subscription, then more people can get their feet in the water faster and start getting on with the project.

I took over the management of a small non-profit site that is a member-only site. They have been using Magic Members for some years and I’ve been struggling with it for about 2 years now.

Magic Members looks good until you actually have to use it. Many of the features that they tout are simply not there or are extremely buggy.

A simple task like setting up a yearly date-based subscription (i.e. members pay yearly by a certain date) is not as simple as it should be – I apparently need to create a new “subscription pack” each year instead of just a recurring one with a month/day expiration date. I have just spent hours trying to get the MailChimp integration to work – unsucessfully. And although I can add my own custom field to the interface, I can’t edit it once it’s there.

So many other problems. I keep filing bugs and requests with little result. I cannot recommend this to anyone and I’m actively looking to switch to something else.

We are currently using Magic Members for one of our clients and ran into an issue a couple months ago – they have not responded to any of our inquiries, tickets etc… I would not recommend them based on that – even though we loved the plugin.
