Outseta Alternatives

If you're looking for membership software chances are you've come across Outseta... and a slew of other member-ish tools.

Two founders, one looking happy and taking a sip of coffee; the other surrounded by open tabs and looking frazzled with spilled coffee on the floor.

Let's be honest—SaaS comparison pages are pretty silly. Countless competitors. Out-of-date information. And let's face it—we can all throw together a feature comparison grid that makes us look good.

Member-ish this, member-ish that... we're not going to sit here and go tit-for-tat.

Instead let's focus on "Why Outseta?"—these are the things that we can confidently claim against just about any competitive product.

Personal support from competent humans

If you need help with Outseta, you'll get personal support from a human being. The person helping you will have 15+ years of experience, and it'll be someone directly involved in building our software, too.

Need technical support? You'll be chatting with a software engineer.

Most SaaS companies have a dedicated support team, then endlessly escalate your issues. Not here—try us.

Lower payment processing fees

If you use almost any membership software, you'll end up paying payment processing fees that consist of:

  • Stripe fees
  • Fees paid to the membership software provider

Outseta charges both of these fees, too.

That said, "Stripe Fees" are not always created equal—the devil is in the details.

With almost every other membership software provider, this consists of Stripe's standard "transaction fees" (typically 2.9% per transaction in the US and 1.4% per transaction in Europe). But you also get charged an additional .7% per transaction for "Stripe Billing"—a product used under-the-hood that creates subscriptions in Stripe.

With Outseta you don't pay this "Stripe Billing" fee, so our fees are .7% per transaction lower from the get-go... and the fees that we collect ourselves are almost always cheaper, too.

Here's one example:

Ask us and we'll show you how our fees will save you money.

Outseta does more than gate content—it drives growth

All membership software allows you to collect membership fees and protect content on your website. But just collecting fees and putting your content behind a paywall doesn't grow your business, does it?

A tweet that says: Wow! @outseta is simply amazing. Just got rid of MailChimp, Hubspot, and Memberstack and we are excited to send out our first newsletter! Awesome tool!

Outseta's biggest differentiator is that we give you all the tools you need to actually grow your member base—and keep your members happy. This includes:

  • A robust CRM
  • Email marketing and automations
  • Help Desk tools
  • Member engagement tracking tools
  • Financial and cancellation reports

Outseta offers all of these tools in a single platform, so you don’t have to Zap data back and forth between a spiderweb of loosely integrated tools. You'll save a bunch of money by paying for one software subscription instead of five, too.

We're built different by design

Most of our competitors are ventured backed or have gone through start-up accelerators. External funding like this brings a whole series of expectations and a grow-or-die mindset, which ultimately trickles down to the end customer.

Outseta is different in that we're now a 9 year old business that's bootstrapped and profitable. We're small and independent by design—and that means we  can always act in the best interest of our customers without external pressures.

You'll see it in how we operate—we hire only senior, experienced people and pay everyone on the team really well. And everyone on our team owns a signficant percentage of our company. Here's how that works if you're interested.

You'll feel it as a customer, too—did you know that in 9 years we've never raised prices on our customers?Find me another SaaS company that can say that!

Still not convinced? There's a slew of testimonials so you can hear directly from our customers here.
