Wild Apricot
Wild Apricot is one of the best-known membership tools for associations and nonprofits. It handles the member database, a website builder, event registration and dues, and it gives members a native app for browsing the directory and signing up for events. That has been its sweet spot for years. core.club handles the same membership and dues work, then adds the pieces association software usually skips: class and session booking, court reservations, leagues and ladders, and member chat. Pricing runs on the money you process rather than how many contacts you store.
