  • A living community: real-time channels, networking, gamification with a points Store and 32 space types; at Astron, the community is a post forum, with no channels, direct messages or gallery.
  • Native WhatsApp and SMS notifications and workflows with 121 triggers that alert and re-engage members on their own.
  • End-to-end events: ticket batches, waitlists, QR tickets, check-in and certificates for those who showed up; Astron has no events on its pages.
  • Members don’t need to download anything: the community installs from the browser with its own name and icon, and the brand is yours.
  • Native video up to 4K, and podcasts with RSS, chapters and transcripts.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Astron Members alternative for a community?
Memberfy sells and brings your community together with real-time channels and ticketed events. On Astron Members, the sale happens in your own checkout, and there are no events. Memberfy brings together 32 space types, workflows with 121 triggers and an MCP with 1,009 tools on every plan, on your community’s domain.
How much does each one charge per sale?
Astron Members has a free plan for up to 10 members and costs from R$ 147 (200 active members) to R$ 1,197 (unlimited) a month, with no fee per sale, because the sale stays in the creator’s checkout. 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 Astron Members 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.
