Even if many of the features compared above overlap between the two competing products there is one very important difference: s2Member as well as Digital Access Pass both provide a unique interface from which you will build powerful membershp sites.

s2Member vs Digital Access Pass 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 s2Member and Digital Access Pass.

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 s2Member or Digital Access Pass (as well as other alternatives).

Price s2Member Digital Access Pass
Minimum (1 Site) 0.00 USD 167.00 USD
Maximum (1 Site) 69.00 USD 167.00 USD
Minimum (10 Sites) 0.00 USD 297.00 USD
Maximum (10 Sites) 129.00 USD 297.00 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.
