Which one should you pick?
Pick Memberful if
You’re building around flat-fee subscriptions. Memberful charges $49/month plus 4.9% transaction fees, which stacks on top of Stripe's 2.
Pick Podshare if
You’re building around guest-facing share pages.

That focus is the pitch, but also the limitation.
