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.

Restrict Content Pro Cons
On the surface, Restrict Content Pro seems reasonably priced, but when you start to dig into what comes with the various packages, you start to see that it's an expensive solution. Many features that should be standard are only available in the $249 per year package. The most notable missing feature is content drip.
Wishlist Member Cons
Sadly Wishlist Member is still the same membership plugin that it was 5 years ago. Many of the modern features you would want, like content drip, is just a major pain to implement.
