The real cost
Memberstack alone isn't enough. Here's the real cost.
Memberstack starts at $29/mo — but that's just the "membership" brick. To run an actual business, you need to add Webflow (or another builder), Stripe, an email tool, an invoicing tool, and the time to connect everything together.

Why PayFacile
Everything included. Nothing to stitch together.
Automatic Invoicing
Compliant invoices, automatic retries (dunning), VAT handling. No plugin required. Memberstack relies on Stripe's invoicing, but doesn't handle dunning or standalone invoicing natively.
SEPA & Direct Debit
Accept SEPA direct debit via GoCardless — the preferred payment method for many Europeans. Memberstack doesn't offer this.
Full Customer Portal
Your customers manage their own subscription, invoices, and payment method. Memberstack supports customizable member profiles, but doesn't offer a standalone customer portal.
Workflows & Automations
Trigger automatic actions: welcome emails, payment reminders, segmentation. No Zapier. No third-party tool.
Payments in 180+ Countries
Stripe, GoCardless, and Braintree connected. Memberstack supports Stripe only.
Who it's for
Memberstack is a good tool — for Webflow developers
If you're a designer or developer, you already have a Webflow site, and you're looking for a lightweight authentication layer with content gating — Memberstack is a solid choice. Their Webflow integration is excellent.
But if you're an entrepreneur, you don't have a website, you don't have a developer, and you want to sell subscriptions quickly — PayFacile is built for you. No code. No assembly. Everything is ready.
