Outseta alternatives: six membership tools compared

The six alternatives at a glance

The six Outseta alternatives worth pricing are Memberstack, MemberSpace, Memberful, FrameAuth (formerly FramerAuth), Clerk and Ghost. These Outseta competitors suit different sites. Outseta Start is $37 a month billed yearly, or $47 billed monthly, and covers up to 1,000 contacts (Outseta's unit for plan size) with a 2% fee, as read on October 23, 2026. Outseta stays the pick when one account should hold authentication, Stripe payments, a CRM, email and a help desk.

Plan sizes count different things: Outseta counts contacts, Memberstack live members (free and paying members on the live site), FrameAuth users, Clerk monthly retained users and Ghost members. The limits are not like for like. Card payments on all six run through Stripe, and FrameAuth also names Lemon Squeezy. The processor's fee comes on top of each tool's own price and fee, and Outseta's pricing page puts Stripe's card fee at typically 2.9% plus 30 cents in the US.

• Memberstack for a Webflow site that wants login and payments alone.
• MemberSpace for any site that wants unlimited members on a flat annual price.
• Memberful for sign-in and billing where gated Webflow pages are not needed.
• FrameAuth for a Framer site that wants no cut taken from payments.
• Clerk for a custom-coded app with its own front end.
• Ghost for a site that can move to Ghost's hosting.

Memberstack and MemberSpace for Webflow memberships

Memberstack's Basic plan is $25 a month billed yearly or $29 billed monthly, with a 4% fee and a cap of 1,000 live members. Webflow's announcement names Memberstack, with Outseta, as a top recommended partner. Memberstack works through data attributes and an official Webflow app. It counts free members toward its limit and upgrades Basic and Professional automatically at 100%. Outseta vs Memberstack compares it with Outseta plan by plan.

MemberSpace Starter is $24 a month billed annually, with a 5% fee, unlimited members and one website. Growth is $99 a month billed annually, with a 2% fee and three websites. Owners paste one snippet into the Webflow site header. Outseta vs MemberSpace sets it against Outseta.

Memberful for subscriptions without gated pages

Memberful Standard is $49 a month, billed monthly, plus a 4.9% fee, with unlimited members and no yearly price on its page. Memberful's own Webflow article says Webflow does not support single sign-on, so true members-only pages are not possible there. Members can still sign in, manage their subscription and update their profile, and Memberful supports Stripe only. Choose it when a Webflow site needs billing and member accounts but no gated pages.

FrameAuth for Framer and Clerk for coded apps

FrameAuth Starter is $29.99 a month billed monthly for up to 1,000 users, with no cut taken from payments, and it works on Framer only. It gives a 14-day free trial, and payments run through Stripe or Lemon Squeezy. Outseta vs FrameAuth covers the Framer comparison.

Clerk is a developer tool for custom-coded apps. Hobby is free for the first 50,000 monthly retained users, meaning users who come back at least a day after signing up. Pro is $20 a month billed annually. Clerk Billing adds 0.7% to Stripe's 2.9% plus 30 cents, and Clerk's pricing page names neither Webflow nor Framer. Outseta vs Clerk has the detail.

Ghost, which replaces the site

Ghost is a publishing platform, not a layer on a Webflow or Framer site. Ghost(Pro) hosts the whole site. Publisher is $29 a month billed yearly at 1,000 members and is the first plan with paid subscriptions; Starter, at $15 billed yearly, has none. Ghost adds no transaction fee of its own, though the payment processor's fee still applies.

Its price moves with a member slider, and Ghost counts free and paid accounts as members. Choose Ghost only when the site itself can move.

Outseta's pricing and sign-up pages describe a 14-day free trial, but the structured data (code for search engines that visitors do not see) behind the pricing page says 7 days, so read the sign-up screen on the day you start.
