When is Join It the better choice?
Join It is the better choice for clubs and associations that want hosted software for any website, not only WordPress. Join It is usually the better fit if:
- You don't want to run WordPress hosting. MemberMouse is a WordPress plugin, so you supply hosting and updates. Join It is hosted and works with WordPress, Squarespace, Wix and other websites. If you only need a simple online home for your members, the Join It member portal gives you one without building a whole site: share posts, list upcoming events and give members a searchable directory (Total plan and above).
- You want events, cards, check-in and a directory. No digital membership cards, check-in, member directory or events feature was found on MemberMouse's site. Join It has simple event registration built in. On Join It's Total plan and above, members get digital membership cards in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, staff can check members in, and a member directory is included.
- You need QuickBooks or Eventbrite connected. No QuickBooks or Eventbrite integration was found for MemberMouse. Join It integrates directly with the tools clubs and associations use most, including both, plus thousands more through Zapier on every plan.
When MemberMouse may be the better fit
MemberMouse may be a better fit than Join It if:
- You sell courses, digital products or subscriptions and want one-click upsells, downsells and checkout optimization.
- You need detailed content protection for posts, pages, categories and drip content inside WordPress.
- You have WordPress skills or a developer and are happy to run your own hosting.
Can I switch from MemberMouse to Join It without members re-entering card details?
Yes, if your members pay through Stripe subscriptions in your own Stripe account: Join It's team can bring those subscriptions across, so members won't need to re-enter their card details. Join It's team can do the import on any plan, even during the free trial, and bulk import is free on every Join It plan. Members on PayPal, Braintree, Authorize.Net or ClickBank set up Stripe payments at their next renewal, so time the move before your main renewal period.
Questions to ask before you choose
