Memberful sells memberships from a site you already run rather than moving your audience to a platform, and it is the tool most WordPress publishers reach for when they start charging. One price covers everything and the money is charged on top as a percentage. Nothing is billed until a first payment comes in, so a launch that never launches costs nothing.
One plan at $49 a month plus a 4.9 percent transaction fee, with everything included. Nothing is charged until the account goes live and starts taking payments, and the trial is described as lasting as long as you like on that basis. Stripe's processing fee applies on top of the 4.9 percent.
Publishers and creators with a site they intend to keep, especially on WordPress, who want subscriptions without moving their audience. Anybody who wants the platform to also host the content should look at Podia or Ghost instead.
The 4.9 percent is the number to model, because it is charged on revenue rather than on profit: at $2,000 a month collected it is about double the subscription. Against Ghost, which takes nothing, this wins on flexibility and loses on arithmetic once you are large.
