Used by the biggest creators on the web — like Zen Habits.

“I’m not technical, but it’s hard to sidestep the tech needed to run a subscription business. Memberful works out of the box — and it solves such a massive headache in such a beautiful way. It’s invaluable to me. And it’s easy. Connecting to Stripe, WordPress, and MailChimp took me only a few minutes.”

Why is Memberful better than off-the-shelf WordPress membership plugins?

Level-up with a powerful dashboard and metrics.

WordPress is built for managing content — not for managing members. When you try adding a WordPress plugin to your site, you get stuck inside the WordPress dashboard dealing with a cramped and cluttered interface. With Memberful, you get a independent dashboard featuring metrics, charts, and activity feeds.

Upgrade to an easy & intuitive checkout that converts.

Multi-step checkout experiences found in most WordPress membership plugins measurably deter signups. With Memberful, the checkout experience is painless: When a new member checks out, a simple payment overlay appears atop the page — so they can join in just a few clicks.
