Frequently Asked Questions about Memberplanet vs Join It

What is the best MemberPlanet alternative for cleaner membership records and workflows?

Join It is a strong MemberPlanet alternative for organizations that want a clean membership database, dues management, renewals, events, and member engagement tools in one focused platform.

Expand Answer

MemberPlanet can be useful for organizations that place a heavy emphasis on communications, groups, payments, and member outreach. Join It is a better fit when the organization’s main need is keeping member records, dues, renewal dates, events, digital cards, and activity history organized. Capterra rates Join It 4.7 overall and 4.9 for customer service, reflecting the 4,000+ organizations that have managed over $100M in membership payments on the platform since 2016. This gives teams a clearer operational view of membership while still connecting with communication tools through integrations.

How does Join It compare to MemberPlanet for managing members instead of campaigns?

MemberPlanet often centers on communications and group administration, while Join It centers on the member record and the workflows connected to it.

Expand Answer

Member communication matters, but membership teams also need accurate data about who is active, who has paid, who needs renewal follow-up, and how people are participating. Join It keeps member status, payment history, renewal dates, event activity, check-ins, and custom fields connected in one database. That makes it a strong fit when the primary goal is reliable membership operations rather than managing outreach as a separate process.

Can I migrate from MemberPlanet to Join It?

Yes. Organizations can migrate from MemberPlanet to Join It by exporting member records and importing them into Join It, with bulk import included for free on every Join It plan.

Expand Answer

A MemberPlanet migration should focus on the member data your team needs to keep: contact details, group or membership categories, statuses, renewal dates, custom fields, payment history where available, and any notes or segmentation that matter. Join It can import those records into a searchable member database, then help you rebuild membership types, payment workflows, renewals, events, and member-facing tools around that data.
