There are several other alternatives to Magic Members and MemberPress on the market which I have compared in separate articles. Go to my main WordPress Membership Plugins comparison to start your search.

Please note that this comparison only looks at the features on paper as reported by either plugin’s developers. It does not and can not tell you if or how well a certain feature will work for you. Because such a verdict would depend on too many variables, including your server setup and personal preference, I have decided to stick to the hard facts for this feature comparison between Magic Members and MemberPress.

Even if many of the features compared above overlap between the two competing products there is one very important difference: Magic Members as well as MemberPress both provide a unique interface from which you will build powerful membershp sites. Since it is hard to rate the quality of such an interface objectively I recommend that you try both products yourself before deciding for one.

Magic Members vs MemberPress Price Comparison

WPscoop indexes the exact prixing plans of all compared plugins. Please refer to the table below for a quick overview of the prices of Magic Members and MemberPress.

To find the cheaper membership plugin for your individual needs please go to my main comparison article. There you can search for the features you need and then see the exact price you would need to pay for Magic Members or MemberPress (as well as other alternatives).

Price Magic Members MemberPress
Minimum (1 Site) 97.00 USD 99.00 USD
Maximum (1 Site) 97.00 USD 199.00 USD
Minimum (10 Sites) 207.00 USD 199.00 USD
Maximum (10 Sites) 207.00 USD 199.00 USD

Explanations: The minimum price compared above is the lowest price a product is available for, e.g. the version with the least features. The maximum price listed is for a version of the product that includes all features. For plugins that charge per addon it factors in the cost of all available addons. For some products the price increases if you want to use it on more than 1 WordPress site – the listed price for 10 sites shows if that is the case.

Disclaimer: While we update this comparison regularly we can not guarantee the prices displayed above are still correct and take no responsibility if they changed.
