Everything you need to know about Memberstack. Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out to our team.

Memberstack automatically retries failed payments up to 5 times using intelligent retry scheduling. Our recovery rate is 67% — nearly double the industry average of 35%. This typically saves businesses $8,000+ annually in revenue that would otherwise be lost. Members receive friendly reminder emails, and you can customize the messaging and timing.

Yes. The self-service member portal lets members manage their own subscriptions — upgrading, downgrading, changing billing cycles, updating payment methods, and canceling. This saves you from handling billing requests manually and provides a better member experience. Proration is handled automatically.

Stripe only provides payment processing. Memberstack includes: failed payment recovery (67% vs 35% industry average), self-service member portal, automatic proration, subscription management, member authentication, content gating, and ongoing platform improvements. Most businesses find the additional revenue from failed payment recovery alone exceeds the transaction fee difference.

Yes. You can create plans with any billing interval: weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, or custom intervals. Many businesses offer annual plans with a discount (e.g., 2 months free) to improve retention and cash flow. Members can switch between billing cycles through the self-service portal.

Yes. You can configure free trial periods for any plan — 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, or any custom duration. Trials can require a payment method upfront or not. Members are notified before their trial ends, and you have full control over trial-to-paid conversion settings.
