Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

To get you started, here are 8 things to know about MemberMouse, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It needs a self-hosted WordPress site, and no store rating is on record.

Year two costs double the intro price, and there is no free version.

Courses
A courses add-on is included from Basic; Plus adds quizzes and certificates for those courses.

Keep it
To replace MemberMouse you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for paid memberships on WordPress
MemberMouse is a WordPress membership plugin with content protection, drip and payments, from $299 a year at renewal. Year two costs double the intro price, and there is no free version.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Basic is $299 a year at renewal, about $24.90 a month, between the cheapest quarter ($20) and the middle ($37). The first year is $149.50. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial are on record. A 14-day money-back guarantee is not a trial. |
| Features | B | Content protection, drip, payments, courses, email and affiliate hooks and reporting. Quizzes, certificates and extra gateways are on dearer plans. |
| Ease of use | D | It needs a self-hosted WordPress site, and no store rating is on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with Stripe, PayPal, ActiveCampaign, Zapier, LearnDash and more on the list. No app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who MemberMouse is for
- Fits if you sell memberships from a WordPress site
- Works for people who already use ActiveCampaign or ConvertKit
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan or trial, as there is neither
- Pricey if you stay past year one: the $149.50, $249.50 and $349.50 intro prices double
- Watch out: gateways beyond Stripe, quizzes and certificates need Plus or Pro
- Watch out: it runs only on self-hosted WordPress, so hosting is yours
Good to know
Good for
- WordPress sites selling recurring memberships
- Businesses that need several payment gateways
- Developers who want hooks to customize a membership flow
Worth knowing
- It runs only inside a self-hosted WordPress site; hosting is your job.
- The page says all annual renewals are at full price, so year two costs double the intro price.
- Gateways beyond Stripe, and quizzes and certificates, need Plus or Pro.
- A 14-day money-back guarantee applies to purchases.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace MemberMouse you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 76 of the 98 other course and community platforms grade higher. It costs $299 a year.
What you could make
- Online courses and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to.
- It plugs into other products, Stripe, PayPal and Braintree among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. MemberMouse’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
