How we compiled this
Official pricing pages re-fetched via WebFetch on 2026-06-15 for MemberPress (memberpress.com/plans/pricing/), Wild Apricot (wildapricot.com/pricing), Join It (joinit.com/pricing — note www.joinit.com 301-redirects here), MemberClicks (memberclicks.com/membership-software-pricing/), Raklet (raklet.com/pricing/), MembershipWorks (membershipworks.com/pricing/), Tendenci (tendenci.com/pricing/), and Mighty Networks (mightynetworks.com/pricing + /pricing/launch + /pricing/scale). Wild Apricot Personal tier corrected to the published month-to-month price $66/mo (annual-billed $59.40/mo); the draft's $60 matched neither figure. Higher Wild Apricot tier prices corroborated via coveyhq.com/compare/wild-apricot-pricing/. Raklet month-to-month prices ($59/$119/$499) confirmed distinct from annual-billed equivalents ($49/$99/$399). Glue Up's official pricing page returned HTTP 403; vendor is quote-only per Capterra with no published self-serve tiers, so the unverified ~$125/mo community reference was not used and monthlyUsd=null; primary plan source switched to the live Capterra pricing page. MemberPress prices are introductory first-year only; renewals revert to full price ($399/$699/$999); plans are annual-billed so no published monthly price (monthlyUsd=null). accessedAt 2026-06-15.
