VERDICT

Should I use MembershipWorks?

Membership Software for WordPress, SquareSpace, Weebly and other websites. Serving Chambers of Commerce, Associations, Non-Profits & Groups. - membershipworks.com

Worth it. Chambers, associations, and nonprofits running WordPress, Squarespace, Weebly, or Wix sites get memberships, directory, events, and payments in one well-rated tool. Creators selling gated content or courses should pick MemberSpace or Memberful; large associations need a full AMS instead.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~12 public sources; no named customers or concrete pricing figures found.
