Hotmart Club alternatives: your community on your own domain, under your brand, from US$ 10 a month

Quick summary

Memberfy is the best Hotmart Club alternative when the community is the product: community, courses and events on your own domain, under your brand, a lower percentage per sale (6.99% + US$ 1.00, payment processing included, against Hotmart’s 9.9% + R$ 2.49 in Brazil), unlimited admins and an MCP server to run the community from Claude or ChatGPT on every plan, from US$ 10 a month. Two caveats: outside Brazil, charging your members in US dollars by card is still coming, and Hotmart wins on no monthly fee, a checkout in 22 currencies and its affiliate marketplace; MemberKit, Kiwify and Eduzz are Brazilian platforms priced in reais.

  • Fee: 6.99% + US$ 1.00 per sale on Memberfy, payment processing included and the same with any method; on Hotmart, 9.9% + R$ 2.49 per approved sale in Brazil.
  • Brand: your own domain on every Memberfy plan; Hotmart’s site does not mention a custom domain for its members areas.
  • Community: 30 space types on Memberfy, with a feed, a real-time channel, events with tickets and check-in, courses with certificates and networking.
  • AI: an MCP server with 959 tools on every plan, to run the community from Claude or ChatGPT; Hotmart Tutor answers students.
  • Where Hotmart wins: no monthly fee, affiliates, 22 currencies at checkout and early payouts.

Why so many people look for a Hotmart Club alternative

Hotmart Club is Brazil’s best-known members area. Since September 2026 Hotmart calls it Áreas de Membros (members areas): streaming-style courses, its own player with a watermark, automatic certificates, communities with live streams and gamification, and Hotmart Tutor, an AI that answers students from the lessons. There is no monthly or sign-up fee, and the checkout takes over 40 payment methods in 22 currencies. It is a good product.

What makes people look around is the model. In Brazil, Hotmart charges 9.9% + R$ 2.49 per approved sale, on any product, and only lowers it to 8.9% from R$ 500,000 a year in sales. The money is available in 30 days; earlier only with a paid advance, from 2.19% to 4.79%. As revenue grows, the fee per sale becomes the largest cost line.

The other point is the brand. Students enter Hotmart’s members area, customized through more than 20 style options, and the site does not mention a custom domain. For a course seller that matters little; for a community sold as a product, with events, networking and conversation every day, the address and the brand count.[1,2,3,4,5]

How to choose a Hotmart Club alternative

Six questions that separate the platforms on this list. Answer them before you look at the price.

The total cost, not just the plan
No monthly fee looks cheaper, but the fee per sale grows with revenue. Add the plan and the fee to one month of your sales and compare.
Who processes the payment
Some platforms have their own checkout, others rely on a third-party checkout. Check which currencies and methods your members can pay with, subscriptions included.
When the money arrives
The payout time and the cost of an early payout change the cash flow of anyone who sells every month.
Brand and domain
Whether students enter an address of yours, under your brand, or the platform’s members area.
Course or community
A course area with comments is not the same as a feed, a channel, ticketed events and networking.
API, webhooks and AI
If you connect a CRM or want to run the community by talking to an AI, see what each one offers and on which plan.

The alternatives, one by one

1. Memberfy

Best for: Communities, courses and events that want everything on their own domain, under their own brand

What it does well

  • One fee per sale (6.99% + US$ 1.00), payment processing included and the same with any payment method.
  • Unlimited admins and moderators on every plan.
  • Your own domain on every plan; Memberfy’s branding comes off from Growth, at US$ 19.
  • 30 space types, including a feed, a real-time channel, events with tickets and check-in, courses with certificates, a gallery, networking and a store, plus e-mail campaigns and workflows that send e-mail, WhatsApp and SMS.
  • An MCP server with 959 tools on every plan: run the community by talking to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, with the role of whoever connects and a confirmation before anything touches money.
  • A public API, 101 webhook event types and ready integrations on every plan.

Limitations

  • It has a monthly plan, from US$ 10: with few sales, Hotmart costs less.
  • There is no affiliate program, and payouts come in 30 days, with no early payout.
  • Not on the App Store or Google Play: it installs on the phone’s home screen with the community’s name and icon, and sends notifications.
  • Plans go by member cap (100, 1,000, 5,000 and 20,000); above that, US$ 19 per 2,000.
  • Outside Brazil, charging your members in US dollars by card is still coming.

Pricing model

From US$ 10 (Starter, up to 100 members) to US$ 99 (Scale, up to 20,000) a month on annual billing, plus 6.99% + US$ 1.00 per sale, payment processing included. Unlimited admins and moderators on every plan. SMS from Growth and WhatsApp from Business, with a monthly quota.

Verdict: The best Hotmart Club alternative when the community is the product: everything on your domain, under your brand, a lower percentage per sale and AI on every plan, from US$ 10 a month. If affiliates, charging in many currencies today or no monthly fee are requirements, Hotmart, Kiwify and Eduzz fit better.

2. MemberKit

Best for: Brazilian course sellers who already sell through a checkout such as Hotmart or Eduzz and want a polished, branded members area

What it does well

  • A members area built for courses: Netflix-style showcase, quizzes and certificates on your own template.
  • 100% white label and a custom domain at no extra cost on every plan.
  • Connects to Hotmart, Eduzz, Monetizze and other checkouts, so you keep selling where you already sell.
  • Forum-style communities, with gamification, rankings and challenges.
  • An API, webhooks and a connection to AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT and Grok) to query the members area.

Limitations

  • It does not process payments: you need an external platform to get paid, and the fee is that of the checkout you connect.
  • Videos are hosted elsewhere, on YouTube, Vimeo, Panda Video or another platform.
  • The AI assistant for students has credits sold separately.

Pricing model

Essencial R$ 197 a month (1,000 members), Pro R$ 497 (5,000) and Escala R$ 697 (15,000); yearly, R$ 1,970, R$ 4,970 and R$ 6,970 a year. Plans up to 500,000 members and a 7-day free trial.[6,7,8,9]

Verdict: Great if you want to keep Hotmart’s checkout and have a members area under your own brand. For billing, access and community in one place, with no other checkout to wire up, Memberfy does it with fewer pieces.

3. Kiwify

Best for: Brazilian creators who want to sell and deliver a course with no monthly fee and get paid fast

What it does well

  • No monthly fee: you only pay if you sell.
  • Pix and boleto paid out in 2 days, card in 15 days or in 2 if you opt in.
  • Card, boleto and Pix, with subscriptions by Pix and boleto too.
  • A free members area and video hosting, and a student app on the App Store and Google Play.
  • An affiliate marketplace and one-click purchase, which Kiwify says accounts for up to 25% of sales.

Limitations

  • 8.99% + R$ 2.49 per sale.
  • A custom domain only on the Completa (full) members area; the default Lite version does not have one.
  • The community is the comments on lessons; the site shows no feed or forum.

Pricing model

No monthly fee. Kiwify charges 8.99% + R$ 2.49 per sale. Card payouts in 15 days (or 2 if you opt in) and Pix and boleto in 2 days.[10,11,12,13]

Verdict: The right pick if all you need is a checkout and a place for the course. When the community is the product, with a feed, events and networking on your domain, Memberfy goes further, with a lower percentage per sale plus the monthly plan.

4. Eduzz (Nutror)

Best for: Brazilian sellers of courses, mentoring or subscriptions who want checkout, members area and recurring billing in one ecosystem

What it does well

  • No monthly fee: creating the account and publishing the product costs nothing.
  • Subscriptions with automatic Pix, card and boleto, retries, pausing and plan changes.
  • Installments with no cap on their number and purchases split across cards; international billing in more than 130 currencies.
  • Eduzz Membros (formerly Nutror) with courses, mentoring and learning paths, video hosted on SafeVideo and an app with offline access.
  • An API and webhooks documented on its developer portal.

Limitations

  • Customized schools limited by plan: 1 on Básico and 3 on Intermediário.
  • Payouts in 30 days on Básico and Intermediário; 15 days only on Unity.
  • A 3.49% installment charge and R$ 1.99 per withdrawal.
  • The community is comments and discussions inside the members area.

Pricing model

No monthly fee. R$ 2.49 per sale plus 4.9% (Básico), 6.9% (Intermediário) or 4.59% (Unity, from R$ 1 million a year; 6.9% below that). R$ 1.99 per withdrawal.[14,15,16,17]

Verdict: Strong for recurring billing and for paying only when you sell. With the community at the center, with a feed, a channel, ticketed events and networking on your domain, Memberfy is more complete.

5. Circle

Best for: Communities that want unlimited members and apps in the stores, charging by card

What it does well

  • Community, courses, live events, website and e-mail marketing in one product.
  • Unlimited members on every plan.
  • Circle’s app on iOS and Android, and a branded app on Circle Plus.
  • Your own domain on every plan, and charging in US dollars today.

Limitations

  • In Brazil, PIX only for one-time payments, on a Brazilian Stripe account; subscriptions and installments by card.
  • A 2% fee on Professional, on top of Stripe’s fees.
  • Circle’s branding comes off, and the Admin API and Circle MCP start, only on Business, at US$ 199 a month on annual billing.

Pricing model

Professional US$ 89 a month and Business US$ 199 a month, on annual billing; a fee of 2% to 0.5% depending on the plan, plus Stripe’s fees.[18,19,20,21,22]

Verdict: A complete community, but expensive to start and with its API and AI on Business. For your own domain, unlimited admins and AI on every plan for less, Memberfy fits better.

6. Skool

Best for: Creators who want a community and a course live in minutes, charging in US dollars

What it does well

  • Very simple to set up: community, courses and calendar in one place.
  • Unlimited members, courses, videos and live calls on both plans.
  • Gamification with points and levels that unlock courses.
  • Its own community directory, which can bring in new members.

Limitations

  • Every price is in US dollars and members pay in dollars, by card.
  • A 10% + 30¢ transaction fee on Hobby, and a 30% commission when Skool brings the member (Growth Boost, on by default).
  • A custom group URL on Pro only; the help center does not mention a custom domain.

Pricing model

Hobby US$ 9 a month (10% + 30¢ per transaction) and Pro US$ 99 a month (2.9% + 30¢ up to US$ 899 and 3.9% + 30¢ above), on monthly billing; yearly billing gives two months free. 14-day free trial.[23,24,25,26]

Verdict: Great for simplicity when your members pay in dollars. If you need your own domain, an API or an AI assistant, Memberfy fits better.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Hotmart Club alternative?
If your community is the product, Memberfy: community, courses and events on your own domain, under your brand, 6.99% + US$ 1.00 per sale with payment processing included, unlimited admins and an MCP server on every plan, from US$ 10 a month. Outside Brazil, charging members in US dollars by card is still coming. If you sell courses in Brazil and want to pay only when you sell, Kiwify and Eduzz are good options too; to keep Hotmart’s checkout, MemberKit.
Does Hotmart Club still exist?
Yes, under another name: Hotmart says Hotmart Club is the former name of its Áreas de Membros (members areas), since September 2026. The members area is still free, and in Brazil Hotmart charges 9.9% + R$ 2.49 per approved sale.
Is a monthly plan worth it when Hotmart Club is free?
It depends on how much you sell. With few sales, Hotmart costs less, because it has no monthly fee. As revenue grows, the gap between Hotmart’s 9.9% + R$ 2.49 and Memberfy’s 6.99% + US$ 1.00 starts paying for the plan, which costs from US$ 10 a month. Run the numbers with your sales on the pricing page.
Which Hotmart Club alternative charges the lowest fee per sale?
Among those that process payments, Eduzz publishes 4.9% + R$ 2.49 on Básico and 4.59% + R$ 2.49 on Unity, for sellers from R$ 1 million a year, with no monthly fee. Memberfy charges 6.99% + US$ 1.00, the same with any payment method, plus the plan; Kiwify, 8.99% + R$ 2.49; Hotmart, 9.9% + R$ 2.49. MemberKit does not process payments: the fee is that of the checkout you connect.
Can I have my own domain outside Hotmart?
Yes. Memberfy has your own domain on every plan, and Memberfy’s branding comes off from Growth. MemberKit also offers a domain at no extra cost on every plan, and Kiwify on its Completa members area. Hotmart’s site does not mention a custom domain for its members areas.
Does Memberfy have affiliates like Hotmart?
No. Memberfy has no affiliate program, and payouts come in 30 days, with no early payout. If affiliates selling your product are part of the plan, Hotmart and Kiwify fit better.
Can I move from Hotmart Club to Memberfy?
Written content can be imported from Substack, Medium and WordPress, and members come in by spreadsheet from any platform, only those who consented; ongoing subscriptions and payment history are manual work, agreed case by case. Nobody can move an active subscription from another platform without the customer authorizing the charge again, and we tell you the size of the job up front.
