ProfilePress is a self-hosted WordPress plugin for building membership websites, selling digital products, and controlling access to site content. It fits site owners, publishers, course creators, and businesses that want membership plans, checkout, registration, login, profiles, directories, and account management within WordPress. Billing can be one-time or recurring, while restrictions can apply to pages, posts, custom post types, categories, tags, and taxonomies. Digital downloads, product sales, and a metered paywall add commerce and publishing options beyond basic member access.

Pricing has a free plan, while paid licensing starts with Standard at $129 per site per year. Standard includes all core features, 18+ add-ons, and no extra 2% Stripe fee. Plus costs $299 per 3 sites per year and includes all core features, Standard add-ons plus additional add-ons, and no extra 2% Stripe fee. Agency costs $599 per year and includes all core features, all add-ons, and no extra 2% Stripe fee. The free or lite version carries an additional 2% Stripe fee, making the paid tiers more relevant for sites that process Stripe payments.

Its ecosystem is centered on WordPress but extends across payment, learning, commerce, and email tools. Integrations include Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Paddle, Paystack, Mollie, WooCommerce, Mailchimp, MailerLite, and several LMS platforms, including LearnDash, LifterLMS, Tutor LMS, Sensei LMS, Academy LMS, MasterStudy LMS, and others. Tax and EU VAT collection, subscription and sales reporting, and a two-factor authentication add-on strengthen its operational coverage. Choose ProfilePress for a WordPress site that needs broad access rules and built-in commerce; choose another platform if you do not run installable WordPress plugins.
