Circle alternatives in Brazil
For anyone charging members in Brazil, three Circle alternatives charge in reais: Memberfy, MemberKit and LastLink, and the difference between them is the checkout. Memberfy brings community, courses and billing with PIX, boleto and card together; MemberKit is a members area that depends on an external checkout; LastLink is a checkout with no monthly fee that unlocks groups on WhatsApp, Telegram or Instagram.
