A great free membership plugin with upgrades worth paying for

I love PMPro. Partially because the free version is plenty to get a membership site started (it’s an easy Minimum Viable Product). But mostly because upgrading to the paid version is well worth it.

The paid version provides a lot addons that let you tailor your membership site however you’d like it. And there are plenty of recipes (ie code snippets) to customize even further.

But they really won my trust & loyalty with their support, which is easily one of the best I’ve experienced in over 25 years online. I’ve asked some hard questions regarding their recipes and they’ve come through every time.

Unlike other support desks, I never get the feeling that they’re trying to get rid of me as quick as possible. I’ve worked on a help desk and we do try to reply as quickly & efficiently as possible. But I get the sense that PMPro’s support really like their jobs.

Of course, all membership sites are different, so a different plugin might be better choice for a specific site & its needs. But with PMPro, you can give it a whirl for free and see if it makes sense for you.
