Free communities are great until you need revenue.
Most communities outgrow the free model. Either you start asking for tips, you charge for content, or you build a tiered membership. BuddyX is built for that transition: same site, same members, new revenue.
What you get
BuddyX makes it native, not a hack.
Subscription tiers
Free, paid, premium. Each tier unlocks different content, groups, courses, or features.
Member-only content
Gate posts, pages, courses, and downloads behind tiers. Drip content over weeks if it suits the format.
Member dashboard
Each member sees their tier status, renewal date, and the content they have access to.
Recurring revenue
Stripe and PayPal subscriptions handle the billing. Cancellation, renewal, and dunning all automated.
The stack
Five plugins. One install.
BuddyX Pro
Theme + member layouts
MemberPress OR PMP
Subscription tiers + paywall
BuddyPress
Member profiles + groups
Stripe
Subscription processing
Done for you
Membership site setup package
Five days. $699 fixed. We install, configure, brand, and hand over.
MemberPress is paid (from $179/yr), with more advanced rules and tier upgrades. Paid Memberships Pro is open-source and free at the core, paid for advanced add-ons. Both work with BuddyX Pro.
Do members get a free tier by default?
You decide. A free tier is a great way to grow the email list; a paid-only model is simpler. BuddyX supports both.
Can members upgrade tiers?
Yes. Both MemberPress and PMP handle proration. We wire the upgrade flow during setup.
Ready to ship?
Start with the free theme. Upgrade when you start charging. Hire us when you want it live faster.
