I’m not a technical person, so I was fearful of paying for the Basic setup in case
I wasted my money. But no, so far the development is working well, and the setup
has been very easy. I’m hoping that the transfer to live will go smoothly. I’m happy
to recommend.

Didn’t like how the default form theme looked so I purchased the pro version, and
all of the css with the paid form themes clash badly with Kadence theme. The pms
plugin overrides the inherit font colors randomly disables js in other locations
on the page. Looks even worse than the free version. The billing is messed up too.
The other day the plugin sent “Subscription expired” email to all of my valid paying
customers. Made my company look really bad and I lost a few paying subs. Not recommended.

I have been working with Paid Member Subscriptions Pro for about a year now, and
although my membership site is not yet launched, it seems PMS Pro is going to play
a very important part in it. In fact, I already have several membership projects
planned and ready to roll out once the first one is running smoothly with Paid Member
Subscriptions Pro, which may mean upgrading to the Agency plan.

Working great so far. No complaints.Thank you for developing this! I used AI to 
get a few things set up, like getting my browser extension to make an API call and
see if the user has an active subscription

Edited: the PMS Pro team addressed all the issues mentioned below. A truly great
experience. I’ve been using PMS Pro for some times and it’s been working great. 
A couple of things need attention, though:- It would be great if PMS registration
didn’t allow spaces on usernames as it breaks some functions for user later down
the road; – It would be great if group members could be invited not only via email
but via a link that can be sent out by the group curator or site admin Otherwise,
it’s great. Support is great.

We are using both the Profile Builder and Paid Member Subscriptions for a client.
I had a few issues which were resolved quickly by support. In fact the support we
have received from Cozmoslabs is second to none.
