WildApricot or Daviah for a membership club: an honest comparison

WildApricot is one of the best-known membership platforms for clubs and associations, and it prices by the number of contacts in your database. Daviah charges one flat price per organization. Here is how the two compare at a few club sizes, and where WildApricot is the stronger choice.

If you are the Secretary or Membership Secretary of a club, the decision usually comes down to three things: what it costs at your size and as you grow, whether it does the jobs you actually do every week, and how much work it is to move. This page takes them in that order.

The WildApricot figures below come from third-party pricing aggregators as of November 2026, not from WildApricot itself, and those sources disagree with each other. Treat them as approximate, and check WildApricot's own pricing page before you decide.

Side by side

Daviah's figures are its published prices. WildApricot's are reported by aggregators such as coveyhq.com and Capterra as of November 2026, and should be read as approximate.

Where WildApricot is the better choice

WildApricot is long established, and you can read many reviews of it from clubs on sites such as Capterra. Daviah is young and has few public reviews so far. If a track record you can read about matters most to your committee, that counts in WildApricot's favor.

A small club with around a hundred contacts that expects to stay that size may find WildApricot's entry price at or below Daviah's Website + Members plan, so cost alone is not a reason to switch at that size.

And if your club relies on things Daviah does not do today, choose accordingly. Daviah has no automated email campaigns or drip sequences, no native phone app, and no sync with QuickBooks or Xero. Check whether WildApricot covers the specific one you need on its own feature pages.

Where Daviah fits

Daviah fits a club that is growing, or already large, and is tired of a bill that rises every time someone joins. Website + Members costs the same at 2,000 members as at 20, and every officer can have a login without adding a seat.

It also fits a club that runs formal meetings. Minutes are drafted and then approved, and the approved minute book is kept from one year to the next, so a new Secretary inherits the record rather than a folder of attachments. A tablet at the door signs members in to the meeting that is on now, and changes to member records are written to an audit log.

Dues are paid online by card straight into the club's own Stripe account. Daviah takes no cut, and the club's invoices, payments and receipts sit in one ledger.

  • One price whatever the size of the membership
  • Minutes drafted, approved and kept as a minute book
  • Door check-in on a tablet for the meeting on now
  • Dues by card into your own Stripe account, no platform fee
  • Each club's records backed up separately every night

Moving from WildApricot

Most of the work in a move is the member list. Daviah imports members from a spreadsheet, so an export of your contacts is the starting point. You can export member records back out of Daviah at any time, so the move is not one-way.

On Pro, the import is done for you, the site is rebuilt from your old one, and dues are set up. On the Free plan you can build and preview the whole site first, before anyone on the committee is asked to pay.

Questions

Is Daviah cheaper than WildApricot?

It depends on your size. At around 100 contacts the reported WildApricot price is a little below Daviah's Website + Members plan. At 500 or 2,000 contacts the reported WildApricot prices are well above it, because Daviah does not charge per contact. Check WildApricot's current pricing page for your exact number.

Does Daviah charge per member or per contact?

No. Every plan is one price per organization. The number of members, contacts, officers or logins does not change it.

Can Daviah send automated email sequences like a marketing tool?

No. Daviah sends one newsletter to everyone who signed up, with one-click unsubscribe on every letter. It does not do automated campaigns or drip sequences.

Can we try Daviah without moving everything first?

Yes. The Free plan lets you build and preview the whole site without publishing it, and you can import a spreadsheet of members to see how your records look before you commit.
