MemberSpace report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 12, 2026
Best for adding memberships to a site you already have
MemberSpace adds memberships and gated content to a site you already run, such as Squarespace, WordPress or Webflow. The $39 Starter plan takes a 5% fee on every sale, and the API sits on the $99 Growth plan.
Who MemberSpace is for
- Fits if you have a site on Squarespace, Wix or Webflow and want a members area on it
- Works for a creator selling one or two paid tiers
Who MemberSpace is not for
- Pricey if you have steady sales: Starter takes 5% of every sale
- Tight if you want an API or the AI connection, which are on the $99 Growth plan
- Watch out: Starter allows one website connection
- Watch out: the site builder is a separate cost, since it runs on top of another site
Why MemberSpace gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$39 a month billed yearly plus a 5% fee on sales, against a $49 middle for courses and communities tools. Growth is $99.
- DFree plan and trialA 7-day free trial on any plan, but the page doesn't say whether a card is needed. A 30-day money-back guarantee follows.
- CFeaturesMembership on any site, free and paid tiers, member spaces, migration and automations. The listing's gap: Starter allows one website connection and API access is on Growth.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You add a snippet to your site and set up plans and gated pages.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with Stripe, Zapier, Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow and Wix connections and an admin API on Growth.

Keep MemberSpace, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of MemberSpace you could make: online courses and paid newsletters. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 28 of the 41 other course and community platforms grade higher. It costs $468 a year.
What you could make
- Online courses and paid newsletters: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to.
- It plugs into other products, Stripe, Zapier and Squarespace among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
What this rests on. MemberSpace’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.
What is MemberSpace?
MemberSpace turns an existing website into a members-only one, with paid or free tiers, protected pages, files and videos, and forums, courses or newsletters on top. It installs on site builders such as Squarespace, WordPress, Webflow and Wix. Pricing is a flat monthly fee plus a percentage of each sale.
Worth knowing
- The Starter plan takes a 5% fee on every sale and allows one website connection.
- API access and the AI connection are on the $99 Growth plan only.
- The pricing page shows annual rates; a monthly option is offered but its price was not shown in the page text.
- It runs on top of another site, so the site builder is a separate cost.
