What is Outseta?
Outseta is an all-in-one platform covering membership, authentication, billing (Stripe), CRM, email marketing, and help desk in a single subscription. Indie hackers, solo SaaS founders, and community builders use it to avoid the cost and integration complexity of managing 4–6 separate tools (Auth0 + Stripe + HubSpot + Mailchimp). Outseta handles user sign-up flows, plan upgrades and downgrades, email sequences, and CRM contact management under one roof. Pricing starts at $39/month plus a 1% transaction fee on revenue processed. Used by over 2,000 businesses as of 2026.

Does Outseta replace Stripe?
No — Outseta uses Stripe under the hood for payment processing. It adds the auth layer, CRM, and email marketing on top of Stripe's billing infrastructure.
What is the 1% transaction fee?
Outseta charges 1% of revenue processed through the platform in addition to the monthly subscription fee. At $10K MRR, that is $100/month. At $50K MRR, that is $500/month — the point where direct Stripe + separate tools often becomes more economical.
How does Outseta compare to Memberstack?
Both handle membership and billing. Outseta includes a CRM and email marketing that Memberstack does not. Memberstack integrates with Webflow more natively. For standalone SaaS with email automation needs, Outseta is more complete.
