"We've looked at a couple of other membership tools that included in packages we'd invested in. But none of them can compete with Membership. I'm sure there's a lot of cool things that users have created throughout the years. When it comes down to customization, if you use WordPress, you can't touch this. Naturally, I'm biased, but we've made millions of dollars because of this product."
