What they are

MailerLite

MailerLite is an email marketing platform covering newsletters, automations, landing pages, and sign-up forms. It suits indie creators, small newsletters, and course sellers who want a clean interface without paying enterprise prices. The free plan covers up to 1,000 subscribers, and paid plans start around $9 per month. Deliverability is solid, though the template editor can feel limiting compared to more design-focused competitors.

Memberful

Memberful is a membership platform that lets creators sell paid subscriptions, gated content, and newsletters without moving their audience to a third-party hub. It integrates tightly with WordPress and connects to Stripe for payments, so creators keep their brand and their customer relationships. The flat monthly fee plus a small transaction cut makes costs predictable, though high-volume creators should do the math carefully.
