Memberful in short.
Memberful is a long-standing membership tool from Patreon that plugs into a website you already have. It costs US$49 a month plus 4.9% of sales and is built around newsletters, podcasts and downloads, with no recipe tools, so there’s no serving scaling, shopping lists or meal plans. There’s no native app (it offers an API to build your own), and growth help comes through partner agencies.
