    Pros:

    Cons:
    The LearnDash connection is kind of buggy and we had to create custom plugins to keep all courses in sync for all users

    Reasons for switching to MemberPress

    We couldn't customize teachable as much as we wanted to

    When I switched to Memberpress, I wanted a member dashboard that linked to my course, live events, facebook group, and had room for featured content. I am very pleased I made the switch. I also wanted to be able to sell membership tiers.

    Pros:
    There are a lot of moving parts in a membership, and MemberPress covers them all. It even includes customizable email templates that are sent out for a variety of communication needs, including membership renewal, reminds them that their credit card is about to expire, etc. I also love that it does not tie me to a certain design, and that I can use my own templates and CSS.
    Cons:
    I felt that there was a lot to learn for onboarding, but such is the case with robust software. Their online articles and videos are very helpful however.

    Reasons for choosing MemberPress

    Design, automated emails, ability to integrate other wordpress plugins and build out my course the way I see fit.

    Reasons for switching to MemberPress

    I liked Teachable, but there were so many more features in Memberpress, and I had the option to design within a different wordpress template that I find more elegant than Teachable.

    Good, but the fact there's no editor built-in...

    3

    For the price they're charging and this being a WordPress tool, I expect some sort of appearance / form style editing to be built-in. I was really disappointed to discover that I'd basically have to code much of the appearance and stylistic settings. This makes it really hard to optimize for conversions. With me not being that good at CSS, this also means I'll have to hire a CSS dev to make MemberPress more user-friendly and conversion oriented. There are basically NO appearance editing features built-in, and I find that extremely disappointing.

    Pros:
    Inclusive of just about everything you need to run a membership website
    Cons:
    No built-in appearance editing. For the price they're charging and the fact that this is an annual membership, that should definitely be built-in. There are WP tools that cost WAY less that have appearance editing built-in.

    Reasons for choosing MemberPress

    Seemed to be the most inclusive of the features we needed. Support seemed good.

    Vendor Response

    Hello Devan, Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us and Capterra community.

    Pros:
    Memberpress is a membership plugin on steroids. There is no comparison. I went from living on $10,000 a year to earning a living and supporting a family through the Memberpress plugin alone. No other paid Wordpress plugins. Paid $25 a month for Converkit and just created content and marketed really hard. Memberpress is way better than things like Teachable or Thinkific because everything is on one site. Most people who are making a difference in the world want everything in one place. Free info, paid stuff, and fun content. The ethical way to promote content in 2022 is to release a ton of free stuff and let people come into your courses or membership without the cohort scarcity scare tactics. Memberpress makes that really easy. The integrations are great on Memberpress. I use the Convert Kit, Beaver Builder, and a couple other integrations and they work fine. Now I will go into some other membership plugins. Paid Membership Pro is wonky and doesn't give you the same freedom. I run a Paid Membership pro site (because their Discord integration is the most important part of the membership) and everything other than the Discord integration is worse. Learndash is a better LMS but their registration, payment, and member management is an absolute nightmare. If you use Zapier for a Discord integration and Memberpress Courses (about 85% as good as LearnDash LMS for courses but makes up for that in so many different ways) all the pro's for other companies listed above are obsolete.
    Cons:
    It's a bit barebones. But, that gives you the freedom for total customization. If you're trying to make money on Wordpress in 2022 you need to have Ux/Ui skills or pay someone who does.

    Reasons for switching to MemberPress

    Terrible payment systems, customers couldn't reset passwords or cancel, and couldn't restrict content like I wanted to.

    Pros:
    I purchased this software on behalf of my client, looking to move away from a subscription-based learning management system and host their own. Memberpress offered everything they required (and more) from a full Learning Management System. Setup was extremely easy and was installed on the WordPress site in a matter of minutes. There's great customisation, a whole library of plugins to add additional functionality, and integrates great with other popular software such as MailChimp, Elementor and Stripe. Even features like automatic PDF generation for customer purchases increases the automation and means myself / my client needs to spend less time interacting with the system - which is a bonus in both our eyes. I'm looking forward to continually develop and work with my client with Memberpress and look forward to suggesting it as my go-to software for any future LMS projects.
    Cons:
    There's nothing I don't like. Perhaps, as a suggestion, there could be some preset styles for the member's account dashboard in WordPress. Although it's functional and works perfectly, it's perhaps a bit basic in design. It can be easily customised with some HTML and CSS but this takes time and therefore presets would help with the design process.

    Reasons for choosing MemberPress

    Memberpress sounded like a more, well-rounded plugin that offered more functionality for the price paid.

    The Courses addon is the main draw for me. It looks the best and is simple to use for the user.
    Cons:
    It's lack of good integration with WooCommerce. I have to use a 3rd party automation service to connect MemberPress Courses with my WooCommerce store and it's still, not a problem-free solution. I wish they made real WooCommerce integration.

    MemberPress was just much easier to use and set up. And it looks much better than Learn Dash.

    I switched from Buddypress where the options were limited and hard to find, so I was looking for a plugin that could offer everything I needed for one specific set price. After some research I stumbled upon Memberpress and even though I'm not an experience user by far; the setup was flawless and the configuration was very easy.
    Cons:
    My experience with MemberPress hasn't reached the level of "I'm looking for something but I can't find it here" yet so I can't really think of anything right now

    Extensions for what I was looking for was hard to find and I'm not really fond of paying several developers to reach the same goals as I am right now.
