Memberful

Membership tiers and posts for paying supporters

Patreon costs nothing to start and comes with an audience that already has cards on file, trading Memberful's own-site setup for a platform readers already trust.

Works with YouTube, Podcast, Discord

Community, courses and a calendar in one paid space

Skool bundles the community, courses and a calendar into one paid space rather than a membership layer added to a site you already run.

Paid Discord memberships with a sales funnel

DoorFee charges for access to a Discord specifically, with a sales funnel built around that one platform rather than a site you already run.

Works with Discord

Charge for access to a Discord or Slack group

LaunchPass from $29 with a free tier charges for access to a Discord or Slack group, gating a chat rather than a site you own.

Works with Discord

Community software that looks like yours, not ours

Circle builds the community itself and brands it as your own space, a full platform rather than a membership gate placed on a site you already run.

A video membership with its own apps

Uscreen at $49 builds a video membership with its own apps, for a catalogue people watch rather than pages they read.

Publishing and paid subscriptions, open source

Ghost hosts the writing and the paid subscription in the same open source platform, for a publisher who wants content and membership in one place rather than two.

Works with Substack
