Member-led nonprofits
An honest look at how NestPoint compares to WildApricot — who they are, what they do well, and where NestPoint takes a different path.
About WildApricot
Momentive Software
WildApricot is widely used by small-to-mid member-led associations, civic clubs, and professional groups for dues management, member directories, event registration, and website hosting. It sits under Momentive Software, which acquired its former parent Personify in January 2026.
About NestPoint
NestPoint
NestPoint extends the same membership-led foundation with the operational depth associations need once they run a building — front-desk check-in, paid facility rentals, transportation, congregate meals, and service-hour reporting. We also bill on active members rather than every contact in your database, and we don't surcharge you for choosing your own payment processor.
Where WildApricot is strong
The website builder is the real thing — a genuine drag-and-drop CMS with member-gated pages and PCI Level 1 compliance, not a bolt-on page editor. Self-service renewals, membership bundles for families and companies, and a searchable public directory are all mature. Add a 60-day free trial with no card, complimentary onboarding coaches, and no setup, training, or cancellation fees, and it's an easy platform to start on.

| Billed on active members, not every contact on file"Everyone in your WildApricot database is a contact" — members, event attendees, donors, and newsletter subscribers all count, and lapsed members keep counting until you archive them by hand. | Included | Not offered |
| Subscription price doesn't change with your payment setupWe run payments through Stripe and charge the same subscription either way. Theirs: "A Payment System Servicing Fee (PSSF) of 20% of your subscription price applies to WildApricot accounts that use a third party payment system … even if you haven't accepted any online payments." | Included | Not offered |
| Volunteer hours and service reportingTheir report catalog has no volunteer or hours report, and their own blog points readers to third-party tools for tracking hours. | Included | Not offered |
| A drag-and-drop website builderWe don't build public websites, and don't plan to. If you need your site and your database in one product, that's a real reason to choose them. | Not offered | Included |
| Paid facility rentals, congregate meals, and ridesThere's no bookable resource, deposit, or rental workflow in the product — events are the closest thing. | Included | Not offered |

Switching from WildApricot?
Export whatever WildApricot gives you — CSV or Excel — and our import wizard reads the file itself. It proposes a column mapping from the shape of your data, not just the header text, asks about anything ambiguous in plain language, flags people who look like members you already have, and shows a full preview before a single record is written. Nothing is saved until you say so, and it costs nothing.
