What is the best Cobot alternative for a coworking space?

Memberfy bills your members and keeps the house talking: feed, channels and WhatsApp alerts. On Cobot, newsletters go through Mailchimp, and there’s no feed or channel. Memberfy brings together bookings, attendance, visitors and parcels with 32 space types, workflows with 121 triggers and an MCP with 1,009 tools, in one place.

How much does each one cost?

Cobot charges per paying member, with prices in its calculator, 0% on sales to members and 9%, 5% or 3% on sales to non-members, plus the gateway. Memberfy charges 6.99% + US$ 1.00 per approved sale, processing included and the same on every plan, plus the plan itself, from US$ 10 to US$ 99 a month for up to 20,000 members and US$ 19 for every 2,000 more, with no cap.

Do members need to download an app?

Not with Memberfy. The community installs on the phone straight from the browser, with its own name and icon, and reaches people where they already are: notifications on Android and iPhone, email, SMS from Growth up and WhatsApp from Business up, through workflows and notices.

Can I bring my Cobot members over to Memberfy?

Members come in from a spreadsheet, only those who consented, with their points and badges, and written content can be imported from Substack, Medium and WordPress. No one can move an active subscription from another platform without the customer re-authorizing the charge, and we tell you how big the job is up front.
