Not ideal for

- Creators without their own audience — there is no marketplace
- Entry price
- From €39 / month
- Free to start?
- Yes — 14 days free, no credit card, no auto-renewal
- Stands out for
- German course platform with unlimited video storage on every plan, a branded member app and GDPR-clean hosting — Kajabi comfort without US data questions
What is Memberspot?
Memberspot is a German platform for hosting and selling online courses, memberships and communities. The principle: you bring content and audience, Memberspot delivers the entire distribution infrastructure — course areas, video hosting, member management, access control and, if you want, a branded mobile app for your members.
The key difference from Kajabi, Teachable and friends: Memberspot is a German product — GDPR-clean hosting and integrations with the payment providers common in Europe, like Stripe, Digistore24 or CopeCart.
Courses, communities and your own app
Courses are built from videos, text lessons, downloads and — from the Grow plan — quizzes and certificates. Video storage is unlimited on every plan, a real cost factor with video courses that international providers like to cap. Communities and membership areas run on the same platform, and the native member apps (iOS/Android, in the app stores since May 2026) make your course feel like a product rather than a website with a login. From Grow, DRM protects your videos against the perennial course-piracy problem.
Pricing: four plans, a clear ladder
The ladder follows two numbers: courses and members. The entry plan carries one course with up to a hundred members — enough for a launch, too little for a growing catalogue. The second tier is where the product actually starts: certificates, a custom domain, DRM video protection and the Zapier and Make integrations. The two tiers above raise courses and members further and add AI agents; SCORM for enterprise use sits only at the top, with SSO as an add-on.
The trial runs 14 days free, no credit card, no auto-renewal.
Memberspot vs. Kajabi, Teachable and marketplaces
The honest comparison: Kajabi brings more built-in marketing (funnels, email automations) at a similar price, with US data processing. Teachable is cheaper to enter but takes transaction fees. Marketplaces like Udemy bring walk-in traffic but dictate pricing and own the customer relationship. Memberspot is the right pick if you reach your audience yourself (newsletter, social, ads) and want professional, privacy-clean delivery — more learning tools in our learning platform overview.
Who is Memberspot worth it for?
Memberspot fits coaches, consultants and experts selling knowledge as courses or memberships to a European audience — and companies rolling out internal training. If you first want to find out whether your course topic works at all, use the 14-day trial or validate more cheaply on a marketplace first.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Memberspot cost?
Four plans, each about 20 % cheaper billed yearly, tiered by courses and members. The entry plan carries one course; the real working tier is the second, where certificates, a custom domain and DRM video protection arrive. The trial runs 14 days free, no credit card and no auto-renewal.
Is there a free Memberspot plan?
No permanent free plan — but a 14-day free trial without a credit card and without auto-renewal. International alternatives with free tiers usually charge transaction fees or cap video storage instead.
Is Memberspot GDPR-compliant?
Yes — that is one of its main selling points: Memberspot is a German company with GDPR-clean hosting. For coaches and companies processing member data of European customers, that is a real compliance advantage over US platforms like Kajabi or Teachable.
Memberspot or Kajabi/Teachable — which fits better?
Kajabi and Teachable offer more built-in marketing (funnels, email), but are US platforms with US data processing. Memberspot counters with GDPR, unlimited video storage and the branded member app. Rule of thumb: European audience and data protection matter = Memberspot; international audience and all-in-one marketing = Kajabi.
Can I run communities and memberships on Memberspot?
Yes — alongside courses, Memberspot supports communities and recurring memberships; payments run through integrated providers like Stripe, Digistore24, CopeCart or ablefy. Subscriptions, payment plans and coupons are all covered — the platform handles access and content, the payment provider handles billing.
Verdict
Memberspot is the most convincing German answer to Kajabi and Teachable: unlimited video storage, a branded member app and GDPR cleanliness make it the first choice for coaches and course creators with a European audience. The price sits above international entry offers, but removes video caps and data protection headaches. If you bring your own audience and want professional delivery, this is the place — if you need a marketplace with built-in traffic, look at Udemy and friends.
