Memberstack
Add logins, gated content and Stripe memberships to Webflow sites
Memberstack is a creator monetization tool for Freelancers and Agencies, offered as paid ($29/mo). Founded in United States in 2018.
About Memberstack
Memberstack is a membership and authentication layer for websites built without a traditional backend. It was founded in 2018 by Tyler Bell and Duncan Hamra, went through Y Combinator's Summer 2020 batch, and runs as a small, fully remote US company. Its core job is to turn a static site, most often built in Webflow, into a members area with sign-ups, logins, paid plans and locked content.
You add a script tag and data attributes, then configure plans in a dashboard. Memberstack handles email and password, passwordless codes and social logins, Stripe subscriptions, one-time payments and trials, gated pages or elements, custom member fields, data tables for structured content and built-in member email campaigns. It works with Webflow, WordPress, React and any site where you can add a script. All plans include every feature; tiers differ by member limit and the transaction fee on paid sign-ups, from 4% on Basic down to 0% on Established.
Memberstack suits Webflow designers, agencies and creators selling courses, communities, directories or gated resources. Memberful is simpler for publishers and podcasts, Podia and Kajabi bundle hosting for courses, and Patreon brings an audience but takes a larger cut. Memberstack keeps you in control of design and Stripe, but you still build the front end yourself.
Buying tip: you can build on a test site for free with no time limit and pay only when you go live. Live member counts include free members, and Basic and Professional upgrade automatically at the limit, so model your free sign-ups too.

Our take
Memberstack is the default choice for adding memberships to a Webflow site, and works well on WordPress and custom front ends too. Start on Basic to launch, but move to Professional or Business once paid revenue grows, because the transaction fee matters more than the monthly price.
