Do you use membership software with Stripe?
Folks, most people here are using stripe to collect payments.
Are you also using tools like MemberSpace or Memberful or any other membership software? How much are you paying currently for these services?
Built a tool to make recurring fees simple and giving it to Indie hackers for free.
Simplest solution I have seen is stripe checkouts.
Yep this is what we use at The Agent Nest. We have no backend, and this is only possible because we use Stripe Checkout.
nice, no backend is beautiful.
thanks for the comment, what about for people who dont code?

I made a tool with no recurring fees! You get passwordless login-with-email, and can set up payments or subscriptions with Stripe. I think it’s a pretty good alternative to something like Memberful, if you can write a little code (you just need to be able to make a GET request).

I did try wishlist and stripe as I needed a way to do "installments," where the payments would stop after a certain number of charges. Stripe requires you to build webhooks to accomplish this. But I didn't really need the memberside side of things. So I found another plugin that works with stripe that does installments. $40 one-time charge.
thank you for the comment. Best of luck with your IndieHack.
Paddle is pretty good I have heard.
thank you. Yes I have looked at paddle.

thanks for the comment. how do you describe the popularity of tools like memberspace,memberful and patreon then?
Hi Naveen,
I believe products like memberspace or memberful are mostly for non-technical users. At lease, that's what we have in our case. We recently had a customer from memberful to try payfunnels (disclaimer: I'm the owner of payfunnels). I've not tried other services therefore, not sure why they are popular but in our case, we give flexibility to our users which does not come out of the box with Stripe checkout (yet). Eg. Five payment plan subscription (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or yearly) with one-time setup fees during checkout and 7 days trial before the subscription kicks in. You can see it as an extension of Stripe.
Nice. would love to hear more about your enhanced checkout process. DM?

understood. I need to frame the question better.
I think I understand your framing – I was in a similar boat: “I can code, but building membership is annoying and I don’t want to use a paid service”. I built this product to solve that, curious whether it resonates with you! https://login.land/
