Great alternative to WooCommerce Subscriptions
We used this to transition from a WooCommerce subscription setup for a newspaper website. It provided smoother payment and subscriber management all with one software vs. multiple add ons required with WooCommerce.
- superior subscription software for wordpress, especially compared to woocommerce subscription plugins
- Price was good value for the amount of membership options provided
- Customer support during initial setup was helpful
- We used this for helping a newspaper website managing online subscriptions
- It also seemed to do better during WordPress updates compared to WooCommerce, which would sometimes break the site during updates
- Managing subscribers who canceled services was always a challenge, and in our use case, having transitioned from WooCommerce, we had some customers overlapped in both softwares, made it tricky
- A smoother migration process would have helped a lot for moving subscribers over

Better subscriber management and payment processing, fewer WordPress conflicts.

Industry-leading membership platform that lives up to its reputation
We've been using MemberPress for four years now and for the first time in the organization's history we have an accurate picture of our membership across all 10 chapters. Once we got MemberPress set up, membership administration could run on its own, freeing up time for more high-value member interactions. This is extremely important for our all-volunteer organization.
It offers a full-function membership platform with a wide variety of integrations and a responsive support team
Organizational memberships are not as easy to administer as they could be and the integration with MailChimp doesn't sync changes to email addresses
Why they chose it
"Product requires fewer technical skills, is more compactly packaged concerning plugins, and help pages do not require user login to access"

Subscription Model has changed - * WARNING* -
Absolutely terrible.
Easy to set-up and manage multiple memberships and protect various Wordpress content,
- Memberpress was sold in Dec 2021 [SENSITIVE CONTENT] who has completely changed the plugin and the subscription model
- Unlike other Wordpress plugins, once your 12 month 'licence' expires you are completely locked out from the back-end of the plugin and prohibited from managing any users or memberships unless you pay $$$
- This is completely unethical and we have removed Memberpress from approx 80+ websites we manage for clients
Why they chose it
"At the time for it's features, but since switching there are better options everywhere."

MemberPress has all the Gotchas figured out!
I've been using MP with Learndash for my online Academy for 4+ years and couldn't be happier!
- MemberPress has figured out all the things that could go wrong or that you might need in a membership/course situation and has it covered, in spades
- The documentation and support (critical factors) are excellent
I wish there could be upsell and cross-sell opportunities built into the shopping cart
Why they chose it
"At the time I also needed an LMS (before MP had courses) and MP works well with Learndash."

6 + years user on multiple websites
Since I transitioned to Memberpress I have had 0 issues with membership management! I will be a loyal customer.
- Over the 6 years that I have been using Memberpress I have had no issues at all with the membership management
- I like the ease of use
- The not complicated setup and the fact that it is dependable
- It keeps up with the changing internet
- I am very comfortable with this software
- I would suggest to include more metrics on the reports such as Total income per user / total income per product
- Some ability to create pivot tables and charts would be great
- I would also like the ability to Upsell if someone clicks on cancel membership
- That would be great to add

A dream to implement
Verified reviewer
- Setting up a membership site was so easy to do
- In the past I've seen clients with hal a dozen plugins to create membership sites, especially if they have Woo as well
- But Memberpress wraps everything up neatly and still manages to be time-efficient and optimised for speed
- It was really easy to setup and get going, really intuitive
- I found that some output, for example the "My Account" widget is unable to be styled using settings
- If you don't want vanilla you have to break out the Chrome Inspector and create your own custom css
- While I can do that, a lot of people cannot

I was previously using Woo + LearnDash + Cart Flows. It was a nightmare to setup and implement. Plus each of these systems requires additional plugins to add other features. So all up it was weighing in with 9 or 10 plugins. Thats a lot of plugins and points of failure, not to mention the security risks of compromised code and the speed impact of too many plugins. Memberpress allowed me to clean up my plugins list and make things neat and tidy in the admin area, but whilst bringing the power the woo learndash stack had

Excellent Wordpress Membership Software
Overall i love memberpress and am glad i found it. I think it is awesome!
- This is the most easy to use wordpress membership software
- It has great extra features like the importer
- It's also very well supported with really clear helpful support
The course software is still new and I use learndash with it but there is good integration

It was easier and it was on my server not theirs.

The course add-on is simply the best
Verified reviewer
- After struggling for months (and at each and every WP update) with a different LMS plugin, I finally transferred all my courses on MemberPress
- I cannot tell you how much everything changed in better, I have now no more issues and finally I can manage all my courses and memberships from one and plugin
- I love this add-on
I don't have any complaint, especially after the Elementor integration now MemberPress seem to have all the elements and qualities I wished for
Why they chose it
"I found many good reviews and decdided to give it a go, especially because I was offered free cancellation within 30 days from purchase."

MemberPress is An Excellent Value
Overall I really was impressed with MemberPress, the tiers of value, and the easy way you can scale up when needed. I used it for a custom site for a client, and they loved all the features.
I really appreciated the ease of use that MemberPress gave in conjunction with WordPress, and it’s easy to create new membership styles and the reports are very helpful
- I don’t have many complaints, overall it was a pretty seamless process
- It offers a lot of value for the price, so really no problems

Is almost plug and play for a simple academy
Computer Software
You can connect paypal or stripe and simply start running your academy in some minutes
If you want to control the purchase process or tweak the membership levels or change something out the box, you need to learn the system and put some codes
Why they chose it
"Is good for a membership, also you can sell courses on 1 time payment"
