MemberClicks vs. NetForum

We've had a very disappointing experience with MemberClicks. Purchased in 2016 for our small association, and enjoyed years worth of amazing service. After the company was purchased, in my experience, service began to wane. Emails begin to say "response may be delayed." We had to add a calendar invite to follow up with all service tickets. No new functionality was introduced. COVID was a challenge for our association, and MemberClicks kept increasing prices - "client success" was removed. Terms and conditions changed in March 2023 with limited notice. Pricing increased by 20% in July 2023. Based on confusing terms, we requested a phone call. I received an email: "Thanks [...], we do not have phone support..." In my opinion, this is a stark contrast to the opening of the company's mission: "We talk with you..." In fact, in my experience, they don't. For us, a very disappointing conclusion to a relationship that we relied upon to connect and engage our members.

netFORUm is generally good for small to medium membership organizations but can definitely pose problems in the amount of data and the reporting tools as the membership grows.

MemberClicks was one of the first tools I used and really hit off well with it. Prior to this I used to manage everything on Google sheets which was cost effective in short term but considering the amount of time I invested into it in long-term certainly Memberclicks was much more cost-efficient.
