What ARMember is
ARMember is a membership plugin for websites that need to control access to pages and manage subscription billing. It supports both one-time and recurring billing, along with drip content. Membership material can therefore be released over time, while page-level access controls help site owners offer content through membership plans.
ARMember has a lifetime free plan priced at $0. It includes unlimited sites, unlimited membership plans, and two payment gateways. The Standard plan costs $99 a year and covers one site, one year of premium support, unlimited membership plans, and 22+ payment gateways. Professional costs $259 a year for two sites, with the same support period, plan allowance, and gateway count. Enterprise costs $999 a year for ten sites and includes those same support, plan, and gateway provisions. Each paid tier renews at the same price.
The free tier and annual paid options give site owners different site allowances and payment gateway counts to choose from. ARMember is made by ARMember, which was founded in 2016.
