In their own words
ProfileGrid
ProfileGrid is a WordPress plugin for building user profiles, groups, communities, directories, and paid memberships. Administrators can create groups with separate profile fields, registration forms, membership prices, member limits, and group leaders. Community features include user blogs, private messaging, notifications, and a friends system. Privacy settings can restrict posts, pages, profile data, and group content. Listed integrations include WooCommerce, bbPress, MailPoet, RegistrationMagic, EventPrime, and Elementor. PayPal is available in core, while Stripe is an extension. The free Core plan costs nothing and includes more than 90 core features plus free extensions. Premium costs $79 per month as listed, with one site and one year of updates and support. Premium+ costs $139 per month as listed, with a one-time payment, unlimited sites, and lifetime updates and support. The standard version uses the GNU General Public License; Premium receives priority support. Profile and registration data are stored in the WordPress database, and compatibility with every third-party product, plugin, theme, or browser is not guaranteed.
