What they are

Memberful

Memberful is a membership platform that lets creators sell paid subscriptions, gated content, and newsletters without moving their audience to a third-party hub. It integrates tightly with WordPress and connects to Stripe for payments, so creators keep their brand and their customer relationships. The flat monthly fee plus a small transaction cut makes costs predictable, though high-volume creators should do the math carefully.

Teachable

Teachable is a hosted course platform where creators build, market, and sell online courses, coaching programs, and digital downloads. It handles payment processing, student management, and course delivery in one place, making it a practical choice for solo educators and small teams. The tradeoff is that transaction fees apply on lower-tier plans, which quietly erodes revenue until you upgrade.
