I’ve been using MemberVault for a few of my products and I’m quickly becoming obsessed with it. It’s helping me create an audience-first content ecosystem that allows my clients & students to binge, buy, engage, and learn from me in a way that feels flexible & fun.
The links on this page may include affiliate links.If you click the link & decide to make a purchase, we make a small commission at no additional cost to you!
From membership, courses, 1:1 portals, group programs, pre-sold offers, waitlists and more to free offers, like summits, challenges, PDF downloads, and bundles. They also have gamification features, like confetti bursts, bonus modules and the ability to unlock additional products based on actions taken.
This platform isn’t like any other digital product hosting platform i’ve used (like Kajabi or Podia). They’re SO flexible on so many different levels, and they really focus on helping to increase engagement & completion rates, which improve repeat purchases in the long run.

Before I started using MemberVault, I was using Kajabi for both my course & digital product hosting AND my email marketing. The all-in-one aspect of Kajabi worked pretty good for me for 5+ years, but then I really started hitting a wall when it came to the flexibility & capabilities of their email marketing. So, I made the switch back to Kit (formerly ConvertKit), which is what I used PRIOR to Kajabi for emails.
After moving to Kit, I really couldn’t justify the $150/month price tag for Kajabi *just* to host my courses & digital products. Annnnnd a lot more people started asking me if I could open up an affiliate program for my products, which would mean I needed to upgrade to an even MORE expensive Kajabi plan (which was not gonna happen LOL). Around that time, MemberVault hired me as an SEO expert to come in & take a look at their platform, and the more I learned, the more obsessed I became.
Long story short, I ended up getting the all access lifetime plan, and now I’m currently in the process of moving everything over from Kajabi to MemberVault 🥳🥳🥳 (with Kit for emails!)
My favorite feature so far is the quiz questions that I’ve been adding to a module before users dive into content access (think: “why did you purchase this product?” or “what are you most excited to learn?” – those questions are SO VALUABLE from paying customers).
I’ve tried to get answers like that before from audience surveys, but people barely fill them out, so I thought the same would happen with quiz questions. I thought they’d be ignored. BUT NOPE. To my surprise, over 50% of people are filling them out, which is INCREDIBLE for market research.
Now, obviously the live version here might look different then the screenshot below by the time you see it but you’ll see it’s easily brandable (logo, colors, fonts, etc), and you have the ability to add an announcement bar at the top & a cute little welcome area before your products/content get listed.

(Similar to Thrivecart) so you’ll need a separate option. This isn’t make or break for me because all of my digital product & course videos are hosted in Descript (where I record & edit them anyway!) — other options that MV users utilize are YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, Adilo, Muse.ai, ScreenPal, etc.
So you’ll need a separate email marketing system. This isn’t make or break for me either since I use Kit (formerly ConvertKit) for emails. MemberVault & Kit integrate pretty seamlessly, but you could also use any other email service like MailerLite, Mailchimp, etc. Flodesk and others are also possible, just might need to use Zapier.
(Like Kajabi & Thrivecart), so it takes a little more creativity for adding them. TBH I thought this was going to be more of an issue than it really is. There are quite a few workarounds that I’m pretty happy with. (Check out this post for adding an order bump & this post for adding an upsell/tripwire if you wanna see more details on the workarounds to see if they would work for what you wanna do).
I’m pretty sure this is a con of every platform though, because no platform is perfect! For example, I wanted my “BUY” buttons to stand out on product checkout pages more, so I made them full-width. I also wanted to hide the header & footer on checkout pages. Nothing wild, but just worth noting! The good part about MemberVault is that their users & community are INCREDIBLE. If you have any customization questions or issues, everyone in this free Facebook group is wildly helpful & supportive, including the cofounder of MemberVault himself; Mike Kelly.
This screenshot is from the user perspective after they snag a ticket to one of my live workshops. You’ll see the event link at the top, and then I have those handy quiz questions (that I mentioned earlier) to get more insight on why they bought a ticket and what they’re most looking forward to learning.
