Our verdict on MemberGate
MemberGate is a hosted web platform for building and managing subscription websites. It combines member signup, plan management, page-level access restrictions, members-only departments, billing, content publishing, forums, downloadable resources, e-commerce, reporting, and site design controls. Its integrated learning management system adds lessons, quizzes, assessments, and certificates, making it a fit for established sites, trainers, coaches, consultants, associations, corporate communications teams, government departments, newsletters, and other membership businesses that need learning tools alongside gated content.
Pricing is organized around member capacity. MG100 costs $97 per month and includes up to 100 members, the learning management system, multimedia suite, themes library, landing page library, and hosting package. MG250 costs $197 per month with capacity for up to 250 members and includes the same listed features. MG500 costs $247 per month for up to 500 members, again with the same listed feature set. For larger requirements, the 500+ option offers franchise plans and multi-site plans through contact sales. The published plans show paid packages only, so MemberGate is better suited to organizations budgeting for a hosted platform than to small projects seeking a free starting point.
The platform’s breadth is its main distinction: users can manage subscriptions, restrict access at the page level, release content on a drip schedule, sell products, host discussions, control downloads by plan, and review customizable analytics from one system. Integrations include Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Brevo, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and other listed services. MemberGate should appeal to sites that want membership operations and structured learning in one hosted product. A simpler membership site may prefer a narrower tool, while growing organizations should evaluate the member limits and contact sales for 500+ requirements.
