| The verdict | Flat monthly membership software that wraps your existing unlisted feed into paid private RSS. |
| Free tier | No free tier listed. A trial may be available. |
| Best for | Podcasters (especially WordPress shops) who already host an unlisted premium feed and want transparent membership billing plus per-member private RSS. |
| Not the best fit | Anyone who needs Memberful to host the audio files, or who wants a zero-monthly bill and will only accept a percentage fee. |
| The gotcha | It does not host your MP3s. Weak host security (guessable public paths) undermines the private feed, and some players (historically Stitcher) cannot add custom feeds. |
