Keep MemberMouse, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace MemberMouse you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 76 of the 98 other course and community platforms grade higher. It costs $299 a year.
What you could make
- Online courses and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to.
- It plugs into other products, Stripe, PayPal and Braintree among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. MemberMouse’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
