Whole-site subscription
Put your entire community behind one membership. New members subscribe before they get in. Everything inside the gate is included.
Product · mobieusGate
Charge for your community, or just the rooms worth paying for.
mobieusGate turns your community into a paid platform. Gate the entire site behind a subscription, or paywall individual forums while everything else stays open. You choose. mobieusGate runs the access checks, the Stripe billing, and the full subscription lifecycle: sign-up, renewal, upgrade, downgrade, cancellation, and failed-payment retries. You wire none of it.

Two ways to gate
Gate the whole site, or just the rooms that matter.
You decide what is paid. Lock the entire community behind one subscription, or keep the front door open and charge for the forums worth paying for. Mix and match as your community grows.
Per-forum paid access
Keep the community open and paywall individual forums. Premium rooms stay locked. The rest of the site stays free to browse and join.
Mix and match
Run a free public square alongside paid inner rooms. Change what is gated any time. The owner controls every access decision.
Billing handled
The whole subscription lifecycle, done for you.
mobieusGate runs every part of paid membership so you never touch billing code. Members check out through Stripe. Renewals, plan changes, and failed payments handle themselves.

What mobieusGate runs for you
- Stripe checkout — members pay through Stripe. Bring your own account and keep 100% of subscription revenue.
- Recurring subscriptions — monthly or yearly billing renews on its own. No manual invoicing, no chasing renewals.
- Free trials — offer a trial period before the first charge. Members get full access while they try, then convert when the trial ends.
- Upgrades and downgrades — members move between plans and access updates instantly. mobieusGate handles proration with Stripe so the math is always right.
- Cancellations — a member cancels and access ends cleanly when the period closes. No lingering charges, no confused emails to you.
- Failed-payment retries — when a card fails, mobieusGate retries automatically and keeps the member informed.
Member experience
A clean paywall, instant access, self-serve from there.
Your members get a simple path: see the paywall, subscribe in a few clicks, get in. After that they manage their own membership. No support tickets for routine billing.
A clear paywall
Members hit a paywall that explains what they get and what it costs. No confusion about what is locked or why.
Instant access on payment
The moment a payment clears, access opens. No waiting, no manual approval. Paid members get exactly what their plan grants.
Self-serve manage and cancel
Members update their card, switch plans, or cancel on their own. They stay in control, and you stay out of routine billing.
Membership levels
Tiers, an all-access pass, and clean plan switching.
Sell more than one level. Gate content by tier, offer an all-access membership, and let members move between plans without a billing headache.
Membership-level content gating
Set what each tier unlocks. A higher plan opens more forums and more of your community. Members see exactly what their level grants, nothing more, nothing less.
All-access membership
Offer one subscription that unlocks everything you gate. Members pay once and get the whole community, every paid room included.
Plan switching with proration
A member upgrades or downgrades and pays only the difference. mobieusGate runs the proration with Stripe, so the charge is always right and access updates the instant the plan changes.
Works with the rest of the suite
Paid forums get the full community behind them.
Gating a forum does not strip it down. Paid rooms keep everything the rest of your community has. Members who pay get the real thing, not a walled-off shell.
Full mobieusCore moderation
Paid forums run the same moderation, reports, and admin tools as the rest of your community. Premium rooms stay well-run.
mobieusChat in paid rooms
Real-time chat works behind the paywall just like it does in the open. Paid members talk in the moment, not just in threads.
mobieusKnow and more
The knowledge base, profiles, feeds, and every other community feature keep working inside gated spaces. One platform, one login, no gaps.
Questions
Before you turn on the paywall.
Do I need a Stripe account?
Yes. You bring your own Stripe account and connect it. mobieusGate uses it for checkout, subscriptions, and payouts. Mobieus takes no platform fee on your subscription revenue.
Can I gate some forums and keep others free?
Yes. You can paywall individual forums while leaving the rest of the site open. You can also gate the whole site behind a single subscription. Mix and match as your community grows.
What happens when a payment fails?
mobieusGate retries the payment automatically and notifies the member. Access is preserved during the grace period and revoked only after the retry window closes.
Can I offer a free trial?
Yes. Set a trial length and members get full gated access while they try. The first charge happens when the trial ends. Members who cancel before conversion are never charged.
Which tiers include mobieusGate?
mobieusGate is available on Pro and up. See the full breakdown on the pricing page.
