In this comparison, Restrict Content Pro is the clear winner. It is 100X better coded, easier to use, superior support, and full-featured. Sadly Wishlist Member is just not that good, sure it was 5 years ago when the whole concept of having a membership website was gaining popularity, but it's still stuck in 2013. It doesn't even have a proper drip content system, but instead a tedious workaround that will drive you nuts. There really isn't much of a comparison here. If you want a rock solid membership solution that you can rely upon, then Restrict Content Pro wins out in this comparison.
