DoorFee
Paid Discord memberships with a sales funnel
DoorFee sells access to a Discord server and gives you the pages and email that sell it, which is the half most access tools leave to you. Payments run through Stripe and roles are granted and revoked automatically. The page builder, affiliate program and coupon codes are what separate it from a bare paywall bot.

Slack
Channels for a community that outgrew a group chat
Slack organises a community into channels, threads and searchable history, which is what a paid membership community usually needs once a Discord server stops being enough. The free plan keeps ninety days of messages and ten app connections, and that history limit is what pushes most groups onto a paid plan rather than any feature. Guests from outside the workspace can be given a single channel. Paying by seat means a large free community costs more here than on software priced per workspace.
Our note
Count the seats before comparing this to community software priced per workspace, because a hundred-member community is around $875 a month here and a flat fee elsewhere. Slack wins where the members are few, paying and already living in it, and loses badly where they are many and free.
