The self-hosted WildApricot alternative
Membora: Self-hosted membership register for clubs and associations: who is in good standing, whether a meeting was quorate, and whether a motion actually carried. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying WildApricot every month.
Stop renting WildApricot.
1 month of WildApricot costs what Membora costs once.
Buy onceHow we counted: The smallest published band — 100 contacts — at the monthly price, which is the one a club can walk away from. Every band above it costs more for the same features. Membora is $59 once, for any number of members.
WildApricot meters by CONTACT COUNT: the features are identical on every package, so what you are buying with the higher tiers is permission to have more members.
“All packages offer the same WildApricot features and benefits.”, their own page
Stay with WildApricot if you want the website, the event registration and the payment processing in one place. Membora is the register and the meeting: standing, quorum and motions, with your bank left as your bank.
What Membora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting WildApricot.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in WildApricot's cloud.
Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.
The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Membora vs renting comparison.
