Detailed Review
DigiMember is a plugin, not a hosted platform. You install it on your own WordPress site, define products and levels, and it protects pages, posts and courses, releases lessons on a schedule and blocks access when an instalment is missed.
The imprint names Digital Solutions GmbH, Hafenweg 19a, 48155 Münster (Amtsgericht Münster, HRB 15019), represented by its managing director. The vendor describes the plugin as on the market since 2013 and as a German provider with German development.
One price
The PRO version lists unlimited products, content dripping, exams and certificates, action-based marketing, all payment providers and all email tools at EUR 47 a month or EUR 397 a year excl. VAT. Purchase and invoicing run through DigiStore24.
What you host yourself
Because the plugin runs on your WordPress, the video hosting, backups, theme and security of the site are your job or your host's. Member data stays in your WordPress database.
Integrations
The site lists 12 integrations and generic interfaces, with Digistore24 as the main payment route.
Limitations to Consider
You need a WordPress site and are responsible for hosting, updates, security and video delivery. There is no hosted course player, community or app. Purchase and licence handling go through DigiStore24. No GDPR hosting guarantee applies beyond the host you choose.
Who Should Use DigiMember
WordPress site owners who sell courses or memberships and want access control without moving to a hosted platform.
