Memberful

What you get

Enables creators to build and monetize a robust membership business by easily adding recurring subscriptions and exclusive content to their existing platforms, while maintaining full ownership of their audience and revenue.

The problem it solves

Many creators struggle to consistently monetize their content and community without losing control to platform algorithms or giving up a large percentage of their earnings. Memberful removes the pain of complex billing, content gating, and member management, allowing creators to turn their loyal audience into predictable income by selling memberships directly from their own website or hosted landing page, all while keeping their brand front and center and owning their customer data and payment relationships.

Who it's for

Memberful is a fit for these roles. Each one links to the rest of the tools we recommend for that work.

Pricing

Memberful offers a tiered pricing model that combines a monthly subscription fee with a transaction percentage on top of Stripe's processing fees. There is a free Starter plan with a 10% transaction fee. Paid plans, like Pro and Premium, reduce the transaction fee to 4.9% but introduce a monthly cost, with the percentage potentially dropping further for high-volume Enterprise users. The free plan is good for testing the platform and getting started without upfront costs, but the high transaction fee incentivizes upgrading once revenue grows.

Plans change often. Check Memberful's own pricing page before you buy.
