Paid Memberships Pro

Paid Memberships Pro is a WordPress plugin that adds membership and subscription functionality to WordPress sites using the native WordPress user and content architecture. The free version includes content restriction, membership levels, and basic subscription payment handling.

It works best for WordPress-native businesses or publications that don't want a separate SaaS platform. The free core makes it accessible to small publishers testing a membership model, while paid add-ons open email automation, drip content, and advanced reporting.
