The Professional plan takes 2%, Business takes 1%, Enterprise 0.5%. And as with any SaaS community platform, your members, your content, and your community history live on Circle\u2019s servers, not yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_MemberPress\"><\/span>Was ist MemberPress?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-05-06-at-150215-1024x475.jpg\" alt=\"MemberPress Homepage Screenshot all in one plugin 2026\" class=\"wp-image-80509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-05-06-at-150215-1024x475.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-05-06-at-150215-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-05-06-at-150215-768x356.jpg 768w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-05-06-at-150215-50x23.jpg 50w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-05-06-at-150215-367x170.jpg 367w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-05-06-at-150215-840x390.jpg 840w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-05-06-at-150215-1216x564.jpg 1216w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-05-06-at-150215-700x325.jpg 700w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-05-06-at-150215-156x72.jpg 156w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-05-06-at-150215-1080x501.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-05-06-at-150215.jpg 1324w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MemberPress is a WordPress membership plugin that has been running since 2012.

Sollte dies erneut geschehen, sollte die Plattform \u00fcbernommen werden oder sollte Ihre Community so stark wachsen, dass die Preisgestaltung f\u00fcr Sie nicht mehr tragbar ist, ist die Migration einer aktiven Community mit erheblichen Beeintr\u00e4chtigungen verbunden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mit MemberPress auf WordPress geh\u00f6rt Ihre Website Ihnen. Ihre Mitgliederdatenbank geh\u00f6rt Ihnen. Ihre Community-Diskussionen, Ihre Inhaltsbibliothek und Ihre Mitgliederbeziehungen befinden sich auf Ihrem Server. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to move hosts, change your stack, or build something custom on top of it, nothing requires Circle\u2019s permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Der praktische Kompromiss ist real: Wer WordPress betreibt, muss sich um Hosting, Sicherheit und Updates k\u00fcmmern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But for a community you\u2019re building long-term (one that represents your brand, your relationships, your IP) it\u2019s a one-time investment in infrastructure you actually own, rather than a recurring subscription to someone else\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Unterm Strich:<\/strong> Circle is convenient.

Die <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/de\/mobile-app\/\">MemberPress AppKit<\/a> ist eine native iOS- und Android-App, die f\u00fcr $1.199 pro Jahr erh\u00e4ltlich ist \u2013 mit White-Label-Option, Push-Benachrichtigungen, In-App-Zahlungen und verwalteter Ver\u00f6ffentlichung im App Store. <br><br>Circle bietet in allen Tarifen eine native mobile App an, was ein echter Vorteil ist, wenn Ihnen eine im Paket enthaltene App wichtig ist.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-hb-accordion__section\" data-ht-blocks-accordion-block-state=\"closed\"><div class=\"wp-block-hb-accordion__title\"><span><strong>Was sagen Kunden \u00fcber Circle im Vergleich zu MemberPress?<\/strong><\/span><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-hb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"wp-block-hb-accordion__contentwrap\">Circle hat auf G2 eine Bewertung von 4,6\/5 aus 416 Bewertungen und auf Trustpilot eine Bewertung von 2,5\/5 aus 20 Bewertungen \u2013 die Stichprobe auf Trustpilot ist zwar zu klein, um aussagekr\u00e4ftig zu sein, doch die Beschwerden bez\u00fcglich der Abrechnung und des Umgangs mit Inhalten sollten Sie sich vor einer Entscheidung durchlesen. <br><br>MemberPress holds a 4.8\/5 on Trustpilot and 4.7\/5 on G2, consistently high across both platforms, and is often commended for it\u2019s <em>wirklich hilfreich <\/em>Kundenerfolgsteam.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Verdict\"><\/span>Endg\u00fcltiges Urteil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Circle is a genuinely well-built community platform and it earns its user base. If you want the most polished standalone community experience (particularly with live streaming built in) it\u2019s a credible choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But your community lives on Circle\u2019s servers. Transaction fees compound as you grow. And the ownership question, once you sit with it, tends to matter more the longer you\u2019re building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MemberPress mit ClubSuite\u2122 ist die bessere Grundlage f\u00fcr alle, die sich eine Community w\u00fcnschen, die wirklich ganz ihnen geh\u00f6rt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">F\u00fcr die Einrichtung ist WordPress erforderlich, doch im Gegenzug erhalten Sie eine Plattform, die Ihnen vollst\u00e4ndig geh\u00f6rt, ohne Umsatzbeteiligung und mit einem \u00d6kosystem, das mit Ihnen w\u00e4chst, anstatt Ihnen immer h\u00f6here
