AccessAlly Reviews

I love the flexibility of AA/PA. You can do everything you can imagine. I sell courses, memberships, challenges, more engaging coaching experience, and whatnot. Frankly, I tested almost everything on the market last decade - from WP plugins to a standalone online solution...AA/PA is by far the best solution for my business.

I love the ability to hide and reveal content based on who the customer is. I can't think of a better solution to provide a personalized customer experience.

AccessAlly is feature-rich and gives the user complete control over almost every aspect of their membership site and course design and functionality. For those who want to build a custom WordPress membership site, this plugin will give you tons of autonomy. Aside from having the freedom to create what I want, my absolute favorite thing is that their support is second to none! I've been with them for years, and their support continues with the same quality and attention. This is RARE within the SaaS world, IMHO.

I'd love to have more control over the payment plan verbiage on the checkout forms. They give us lots of control over the design otherwise. I'd also like an easier way to find leads belonging to affiliates in their affiliate program features.

We use AccessAlly for our entire product suite, from selling and maintaining user access to our digital products and courses to selling our services to running our affiliate program. It's truly a one-stop shop for all of our offerings. I love that we only need ONE tool, asside from our CRM, to deliver our offers to our customers. And their new design makes it much more user-friendly than older versions.

I love how easily it overlays with my wordpress theme. I also appreciate that it has a robust integration with Keap (which I use as my CRM, shopping cart, and email marketing engine). Specifically, I love the ability to hide and reveal content based on what I know about each member, I love the objectives (and automation around the objectives), the affiliate features, and the member directory it allows me to create. It's a really powerful tool, that has become one of the most reliable parts of my tech stack.

Very little - I guess I don't like the video player that comes with their video tracking feature. And I wish I could hide/reveal other types of WordPress modules (other than text or code).

It's really the core of my membership - it allows me to host private content in a secure members area. It helps my members connect (via the directory), and lets me unlock different content based on how long they've been a member. It also lets me support my affiliates in the same login portal where I host content (which my previously membership solution didn't support).

It's very robust, it has all the features an online course or membership site creator could ever need, the knowledge base and training is extensive and thorough, the support is next-level, it's super easy to set up and use compared to how powerful it is, and the integrations are robust. It's a great experience for my customers, it saves me a ton of time and money on customer service requests because of that, and I have total peace of mind that I have the right software solution in place in my business for years to come. Highly recommend AccessAlly.

If I had to come up with an opportunity for AccessAlly to improve, it would be the ability to accept payments via ACH for high-ticket online courses + membership programs, apply payments made outside of AccessAlly to a user's account in AA, as well as the ability to sign + manage contracts/program agreements for high-ticket membership programs (or an integration with something like HelloSign). I have to do those things outside of AA now, however, I realize not everyone needs that functionality.

I deliver a high-ticket group coaching experience to my clients using AccessAlly, and there are a lot of moving parts to automating that experience. AccessAlly is involved in 95% of that as the hub for access to content + payment, as well as student interaction + progress tracking. It functions as at least 1 if not 2 full-time employees in my company, so it's saving me massive amounts of time and money and resources.

Its features. It does everything we ever want to do. When we want to expand our products or features for customers, AccessAlly already has it covered.

Like with any platform, there are some limits to the page design options in some areas, for example, Directories. As we are very design-conscious and particular with our requirements, e.g. matching our own designs, this has caused us some issues.

We needed a sophisticated course platform, a payment integration, invoicing, tight integration with our CRM.

We love the ability to customize to fit our needs, the many amazing features that suit the needs of our online courses and provide a seamless experience for our students and tech team.

There are some features not included that we would like to see added

Providing a customized online learning experience, streamlined functionality, interaction with

AccessAlly has everything you need to build and market a membership site for your online courses. This is very important because all the other WordPress plugins require numerous add-ons and integrations.

That is a tough question. I guess the price point is a bit high.

AccessAlly provides flexibility that goes way beyond any other membership websites or online courses platform out there. (Apart from Memebrium which provide similar level of flexibility). Make sure to look deep and understand what it means as it is not obvious right aways

The Ability to Do Advanced Tagging and Segmentation of your students and members based on where they are in your membership website. Now you can follow up and segment people specifically.

The documentation is confusing and the software is really not designed for beginners alike. There's tons of technical stuff and anyone who would want to launch a membership platform on AccessAlly would need to have deep technical skills in order to get started quickly. Too many options and capabilities can be confusing. The order page and upsell designs are really not yet optimized for conversions because of limited options and design capabilities. Another thing that I loved about AccessAlly is the support of the community. They have an awesome Facebook Group where you can meet other people who are using the software and tool for their online membership websites. Definitely one of the things that allowed me to join their recent AccessAlly Advocate Training Program. It is an extensive 7 weeks program to train people to become experts in configuring AccessAlly. I'm honored to be one of them.

I would recommend that they provide easy integration with top WordPress page builders out there like Elementor and Thrive Themes as this provides an easy way for people to customize their membership websites.

One of the biggest challenges of membership site owners is retention. Hopefully with the segmentation and implementation of AccessAlly's powerful tagging capabilities, you can increase the retention rates and the engagement of your students through it's gamification and certification capabilities.

Though it's very easy to use at it's basic level, AccessAlly also allows for complex membership site setup for anyone who wants to take their membership site to the next level. In addition, they have EXCELLENT customer service!

Because a lot of their users use the Divi theme, I'd love to see the capability to use conditional settings on the Divi modules themselves. Currently, you can only use conditional content shortcodes within text modules or text areas within modules -- not on entire Divi modules themselves.

Take advantage of their super helpful customer Facebook community and their knowledge base. There's a learning curve, but there's tons of support to help newbies along the way.

AccessAlly has made it supremely easy for me to set up and manage my membership site without having to rely on many different plugins. Not only can I create my online courses with ease, I can also set up and manage my affiliate program right there within AccessAlly too! This makes life so much easier for me.

I really liked that many well-established people use the site, and that we could "drip" content.

We could only use it in English and Spanish.

We needed to create courses for a project.
