Best User Registration / Subscription Solution for MVP?

Hi All,

A client recently asked me about setting up a new SAAS front end to handle new user registrations, subscription payments, user logins and all the SAAS plumbing we need for these types of applications.

I have been using paddle.com and WordPress for my own projects and have been happy with the experience, but I would like to evaluate some other options.

Could anyone recommend a company or product that they have used before for this which is an alternative from coding and maintaining these features in your own codebase?

The solution must include the following:

  • New user registration
  • Secure checkout for purchasing subscriptions
  • Set up recurring billing
  • Handle billing errors (failed payments etc)
  • User management(user can log in, change subscription, cancel etc)
  • API to communicate with our server where the main product is hosted
  • Fast set up
  • Minimum maintenance required

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    I know memberstack is pretty popular. I'm pretty sure the founder is on here as well. However, they are really targetted at the whole no-code community. For me by the time I integrated with them, it was just as easy to write my own.

    I ended up using Auth0, Stripe, and Zapier to connect them together. Not the most robust system, but it was super easy to setup and was possible to do a front-end only SaaS.

      Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't hear of this one. Will check it out. :)
