Wild Apricot charges US$154 a month for 500 contacts on monthly billing, or US$138.60 a month billed annually, rising to US$992 a month once you reach 50,000 contacts. Many owners start looking for an alternative once that bill climbs with every new member, and they want their membership records held in a database they own rather than rented through a subscription.

How to choose a Wild Apricot alternative
- 1
What Your Bill Is Tied To
Wild Apricot's plan follows the size of your contact list, so cost climbs at 500 contacts and again by 50,000. Ask whether an alternative charges the same way, per contact, per year, or offers a flat arrangement that doesn't grow with every new member you add.
- 2
Whether Your Records Stay Yours
Check whether your membership records live in a database you control or inside a vendor's system you rent access to. If you ever want to leave, ask how easily you can take your members, events and dues history with you, and in what form.
- 3
Whether It Fits Your Own Rules
Associations track things a generic system may not, like notice periods drawn from your constitution or evidence for a committee role. Weigh whether an alternative lets you add the fields and checks your association actually uses, rather than fitting your rules around its plan.
- 4
What The Switch Actually Involves
Wild Apricot lets administrators export members and contacts as CSV files. Before choosing an alternative, ask how your renewal dates, event records, invoices and donation history come across, and whether a test run happens before anything goes live.

Questions
Wild Apricot alternatives, answered
How much does Wild Apricot cost compared with other membership systems? expand_more
Wild Apricot lists 500 contacts at US$154 a month on monthly billing, or US$138.60 a month billed annually, and US$992 a month once you reach 50,000 contacts. Costs rise as your contact list grows, so check how any alternative prices its plans before comparing them directly.
Can we move our existing Wild Apricot data to a new system? expand_more
Wild Apricot allows administrators to export members and contacts as CSV files. That export can carry across names, membership levels, status and renewal dates, with events, invoices and donations handled as separate exports. A test run before switching over is worth doing regardless of where you move to.
Are there other membership tools like Wild Apricot for NZ and Australian associations? expand_more
MemberJungle sits in the same family of membership and association administration tools as Wild Apricot. Beyond that, most alternatives worth comparing are judged on how they price contacts, whether they hold your records in a system you control, and how well they fit your association's own rules.
What should we check before switching away from Wild Apricot? expand_more
Before switching, check what the new bill is tied to, whether your records stay in a database you own, whether it fits the fields and rules your association actually uses, and what moving your existing members, events and dues records involves. Those four points matter more than any single feature.
