Comparison
MemberSpace vs Paid Memberships Pro
MemberSpace and Paid Memberships Pro both land on Depends.
Paid Memberships Pro
Depends
Confidence: Medium
Buy if you run WordPress and need gated content with Stripe/PayPal subscriptions, and you will keep the plugin patched.
| Compare | MemberSpace | Paid Memberships Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | Creators with an existing website | WordPress sites selling memberships |
| Who it's not for | Anyone without a website already built . it's a bolt-on, not a site builder | Non-WordPress projects |
| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.⁵ | Multiple public CVEs (SQLi, CSRF, auth bypass) across 2023-2026; patching discipline is mandatory. |
| Support quality | Free weekly live sessions plus free migration | No user support evidence in sources |
| Public sentiment | Direct user quotes are scarce in public sources; on-site Trustpilot shows 4.8/5 from hundreds of reviews and a third-party scanner logged positive feedback from 143 reviews.¹ | WordPress reviewers rate it well, but Reddit threads flag fee changes and its exit from the repo.12 |
| Biggest gotcha | Starter price requires annual billing . expect a yearly commitment, not monthly flexibility² | Repeated CVEs (SQLi, CSRF, auth bypass) mean slow patching is genuinely risky |
