"Great starter membership program - lots of possibilities for Memberful to grow"
4/5
What do you like best about Memberful?

It's fairly easy to use and implement on your site. It's clean, it's easy to make a discount code. The customer service also answers you very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Memberful?

The biggest thing is the lack of analytics. It is SO hard to know who your members are, what team members are there, what are the trends. Having a clear dashboard with downloadable reports would be so useful. Even being able to segment by date. I don't understand why I need to download ALL my members everytime I want to analyze data. I wish I could just select the last week, or month, or quarter. Instead of pulling five years of data. I wish I could easily have a report of all my team members; which teams have signed on, which teams have lapsed, how long have they been around for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A must have for any business"
5/5
What do you like best about Memberful?

Member full bills monthly for the services taking away the stress of needing to do it separately. Set up is quick and easy for my customers and allows them to control thier accounts as well. This has been helpful for anyone who needs to update thier billing or other concerns. We use memberful on an ongoing basis and will continue to do so! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Memberful?

Nothing, we love it! We are pleased with memberfuls services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great all around for helping manage a service"
5/5
What do you like best about Memberful?

Memberful made things very easy to get things running for my small business. They also added changes to their system when I submitted feedback on users having a slight issue getting signed up, which corrected the problem. Very receptive and helpful team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Memberful?

The only downside I can think of is that the prices are a bit high. Monthly fee plus a percentage of each sale adds up for a small business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If you have a network of regularly released podcasts, you should be using Memberful!"
5/5
What do you like best about Memberful?

Memberful allows us to set up paid plans to allow our most dedicated fans to pay for ad-free podcast feeds and bonus podcast feeds with exclusive content. One of the most popular features turned out to be our members-only Discord server where the fans can talk amongst themselves (and our podcast hosts and staff).

We've checked out competitors to Memberful (including their parent, Patreon), but Memberful is by far the best option for what we do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Memberful?

We've only experienced two downsides to Memberful...and they're fairly minor. 1) By offering paid subscriptions, we've occasionally had to do some user support to people who are confused and claim to still get ads (when they haven't actually signed up to the new ad-free feeds available to them via Memberful...even though they've got the instructions on how to do so) 2) We have video podcasts and people occasionally hit subscription options which are audio-only (like Google Podcasts) and tell us it's "broken"...so we have to tell them to try one of the podcast apps that supports video if they want to subscribe to our video podcast feeds. (Memberful is working on a fix for this though.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent platform to run your online business"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Memberful?

Overall, my experience with Memberful has been extremely positive. I have had great interactions with customer service over the last three years. They are polite and help me problem solve issues or questions that may arise. I love that I can protect content on my website as well as make downloads only accessible to my paid members. Additionally, the members rewards and email feature have been great additions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Memberful?

Memberful must continue to expand its connections with other platforms. For example, adding email service provider SendFox is something I have requested to both companies. Recently I found out that at the Premium level you have a 2GB limit for ALL of your downloads. This was a bit alarming to me as we produce a large amount of content each month and as a customer that is paying for the highest tier I think we should have much more space available to us.

"Infuriating password reset ... ongoing hassle and frustration for website owner"
0/5
What do you like best about Memberful?

The collection of the membership money is fine but the ongoing hassle with the inability of admin to reset user emails is INFURIATING!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Memberful?

I have had the following problem with Memberful for years and the owners of the service refuse to address it, and it is absolutely infuriating. They do not allow me as an admin to do a password reset for any of the members for so-called security reasons. But what actually happens is the user cannot do a password reset on their own because the system is clunky, for the reset email ends up in the user's spam folder, and they don’t have the means to access it, so I ultimately have to refund members on an ongoing basis because of this issue. Memberful has built their system so that an admin cannot change or see a user's password. All I can do is send an email reset email to the member, but this is 100% useless if that email never reaches the member .. as it leaves me with the only option of refunding their money and losing them as a customer. I have discussed this numerous times with the developers of Memberful and they have never once come even close to addressing the issue. I am locked in with these guys just because I set up with them from the beginning but honestly, I would not continue using them if I had a chance, and I do not recommend their service.

"Great subscription WP plugin"
4/5
What do you like best about Memberful?

The plugin was simple and easy to set up and the support was very helpful in answering all of my requests. It also came with integrations to email services providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Memberful?

The paywall set was a bit limited. You had to use the WordPress editor and didn't have much control over the design and how you wanted it displayed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Limited Service not recommended"
0/5
What do you like best about Memberful?

This service is limited and can only be used for fun and not for professional use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Memberful?

Even with a Pro Account this service is limited. You cannot send more than 5 emails/newsletters per day, and the worst thing is that they don't tell you this. Now I have a lot of problems because I have to change platform. Service not recommended Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
