  Memberful (a Patreon-owned company) prices the membership platform itself -
  the GraphQL API, OAuth SSO, and webhooks are included with a paid plan at no
  separate API fee. Memberful's own published plan is Standard at $49/month plus
  a 4.9% Memberful transaction fee on revenue, with unlimited members and the
  full feature set; Enterprise is custom-priced with dedicated support and
  migration help. Payment processing runs through Stripe, whose ~2.9% + $0.30
  per-transaction fee is charged separately by Stripe on top of Memberful's
  transaction fee. Third-party sources also report Free/Starter (10% fee), Pro
  ($25/mo), and Premium ($100/mo) tiers; those are NOT confirmed on Memberful's
  current pricing page and are marked modeled below.
notes: >-
  Grounded numbers ($49/month + 4.9% transaction fee; Enterprise custom) are
  from Memberful's official pricing page as of the review date. Stripe's
  ~2.9% + $0.30 is a separate processor charge, not a Memberful fee. The
  Free/Pro/Premium tiers come only from third-party pricing aggregators and are
  flagged modeled/unconfirmed - verify against memberful.com/pricing before
  relying on them.
