Great even in its Free Version!

I really LOVE working with PMPRO. Is a great product and i hope they keep on keeping the good work

PROS

The great amount of features one can get with just the Free version, the great amount of codes their site offers to developers and the great possibility for customization it offers.

CONS

For starting projects or very little websites which hope to grow, the paid version is an investiment when the budget is tight. So, critical features like recurring payments are not easily accessible directly from PMPRO.

Reason for choosing Paid Memberships Pro

Affordable, have a free version, great customizations possible

A versatile, full-featured toolset

Our clients have used Paid Memberships Pro in a variety of situations and circumstances, from the small mom-and-pop who just needed a simple content subscription site, to the international organization with tens of thousands of members with differing needs, levels, and offerings. Some come to it fresh, while others migrate from another toolset. Almost none have expressed any interest in moving off of it, which demonstrates their satisfaction with the tool.

PROS

Membership management can be a chore, but our clients find that Paid Memberships Pro makes it significantly easier. After some initial setup, they can be off and running with little maintenance or ongoing work. The secret sauce of Paid Memberships Pro, though, is its extensibility: with a little help, you can get the toolset to support any membership or subscription scenario, and can add features that are custom to your situation. That flexibility is what leads us to recommend Paid Memberships Pro to our clients on a regular basis.

CONS

The Paid Memberships Pro toolset grew from a fairly small base with a tight set of needs to now being much more robust and ready for any enterprise. Some of the very high-end features that a large enterprise might want are not available in the core tool. But a rich ecosystem of add-ons mitigate that, along with the incredible flexibility that allows third-party developers to create anything they might need.

Reason for choosing Paid Memberships Pro

Periodically, we review the membership/subscription management space, to ensure that we are recommending the best-of-breed to our client base. For nearly all scenarios, we've never hesitated to go with Paid Memberships Pro.

Easy to use at all levels

In general, I find myself very comfortable working with this product, especially alongside the rest of the technical team.

PROS

The fact that even in the free package it includes so many features that others charge for it.

CONS

Customization requires programming skills, it is not easy to manage automatic payments without other extensions.

Reason for choosing Paid Memberships Pro

The developer already had experience with the product.

Fantastic application with even better support

I've been using PMPRO happily for more than 8 years. I have no reason to look anywhere else.

PROS

Paid Memberships Pro is probably the best and most reliable Wordpress plugin I've ever used. There seems to be no limit to what you can do with this app. It fits in so well with Wordpress and runs seamlessly and fast. PMPRO is stable and reliable. The best part of the application is the support. The tech team and leadership team are accountable, patient, and helpful more than any other Wordpress development team I've ever used.

CONS

There's very little that I don't like about PMPRO. It would be interesting if they had more preset "widgets" out of the box, but if they did, the program probably wouldn't be as extensible as it is.

Reasons for switching to Paid Memberships Pro

The previous program wasn't reliable and didn't perform the functions I needed.

Fantastic open source membership software from a great team

PROS

It has all of the membership features we need: flexible recurring subscriptions, different membership levels, access to restricted information, and custom fields. I've found it to be easy to extend and customize because it uses predictable and well-documented WordPress hooks for nearly everything. The support team has always been responsive and helpful, one of the best WordPress plugin support teams I've interacted with.

CONS

I've had a lot of pain integrating LearnDash for our training library. The plugin we've relied on is provided by LearnDash and doesn't work great - I'd love for PMPro to write their own to avoid that pain.
