If your core model is “people subscribe, log in, and get a new video every week,” I’d narrow it to three options:

🥇 Best overall: Uscreen

This is probably the closest match to what you described. It’s video-first rather than primarily a course platform.

• Members pay a recurring subscription.
• You get a Netflix-style members area for your videos.
• You can gate videos to specific subscription plans. help.uscreen.tvwww.uscreen.tvwww.kajabi.comhelp.uscreen.tv
• You can drip videos on a schedule—including releasing each video a certain number of days after enrollment. help.uscreen.tv
• It handles payments, member accounts, video hosting and access control.
• You can eventually add branded iOS/Android/TV apps. www.uscreen.tv

Current pricing starts at $49/month, although the Starter plan is limited to 100 subscribers; Growth is currently listed at $199/month monthly ($149/month when billed annually), plus a per-subscriber fee. www.uscreen.tv

I'd choose this if the videos are the product.

🥈 Best if you want a broader business platform: Kajabi

Kajabi is better if your videos are part of a larger business involving:

• courses
• coaching
• email marketing
• sales funnels
• community
• downloadable materials
• multiple membership tiers

It supports recurring memberships and scheduled/dripped content, including the ability to prevent new members from immediately accessing older content. www.kajabi.com

The downside: you're paying for a much broader ecosystem when your primary need may simply be “pay → log in → watch this week's video.”

🥉 Best if community is important: Circle

I'd consider Circle if the experience you want is more:

Weekly video + discussion + community + interaction

rather than:

Netflix-style video library

It's particularly attractive if subscribers should be able to discuss each week's video, ask questions, interact with you, etc.

My recommendation

For the exact business you're describing, I'd rank them:

I'd start with Uscreen unless you know you need Kajabi's broader marketing/course ecosystem.

A particularly nice setup would be:

$X/month → private membership → one new video every Monday → members retain access to the growing library while subscribed.

Uscreen specifically supports subscription plans and assigning videos/collections to those plans, so that workflow is native rather than something you'd have to cobble together with WordPress plugins. help.uscreen.tv

If you tell me roughly how many subscribers you expect (e.g. 50, 500, 5,000) and what you're charging per month, I can compare the actual costs of Uscreen vs Kajabi vs Circle and tell you which one I'd use.

For a members-only site where subscribers get new videos released every week, you’ll want a platform with:

• recurring subscriptions (monthly/yearly)
• protected video hosting
• drip content scheduling (“Week 1 unlocks Monday, Week 2 unlocks next Monday…”)
• member accounts
• email notifications
• ideally community features

The best choices depend on how you want to run it:

My picks by scenario

You are a coach, instructor, fitness creator, or educator:
→ Kajabi or Thinkific
They handle the “new lesson every week” model very naturally. www.learningrevolution.net

You want a Netflix-style library of videos plus a community:
→ Mighty Networks or Circle
Better if retention comes from member interaction, not just watching videos. aitechstack.iowww.mightynetworks.com

You want the cheapest path to validate the idea:
→ Podia or Thinkific
You can launch without building a complicated tech stack. www.guideflow.comwww.learningrevolution.net

You already have a website and want to add subscriptions:
→ MemberPress + WordPress
More setup work, but more ownership and flexibility. www.learningrevolution.net

A setup I’d recommend for most weekly-video memberships

1. Landing page explaining the subscription
2. Stripe subscription checkout
3. Member account area
4. Video library organized by week/month
5. Automated email: “Your new lesson is available”
6. Community area for questions and discussion

If you tell me:

• your niche (fitness, cooking, investing, coaching, entertainment, etc.)
• expected number of subscribers (50 vs 5,000 makes a big difference)
• whether you want a community/chat

…I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options.

For what you described — a members-only site where subscribers pay recurring fees and receive a new video every week — I’d narrow it down to three:

🥇 My pick: Uscreen

Uscreen is particularly well suited to your model because video is the core product, rather than something bolted onto a course platform. It gives you a branded membership website, subscriptions, video hosting, community features, and optional mobile/TV apps. Its current plans start at $49/month. www.uscreen.tv

Most importantly, it supports drip scheduling: you can make Video #1 available immediately, Video #2 seven days later, Video #3 another seven days later, etc. The drip timer can start when someone first accesses the collection. help.uscreen.tv

So you could structure it like:

$19/month membership

• Week 1 → Video 1
• Week 2 → Video 2
• Week 3 → Video 3
• Week 4 → Video 4
• Every week → new video
• Cancel anytime → access ends

You can also have multiple subscription tiers and sell individual videos/courses in addition to subscriptions. www.uscreen.tv

When I'd choose Kajabi instead

Choose Kajabi if the videos are part of a broader information business — e.g. videos + PDFs + email marketing + webinars + community + sales funnels. Kajabi supports recurring memberships and gated content natively. www.kajabi.com

The downside is that you're paying for a much broader business/marketing platform when your primary requirement is "people pay me and get videos every week."

What I would NOT do

I wouldn't start by cobbling together:

WordPress + membership plugin + Stripe + Vimeo + email automation + drip plugin

It can work, but you're now responsible for maintaining five different systems. For a video subscription business, I'd rather pay for an integrated platform.

My recommendation

If you tell me what kind of videos you're selling (fitness, education, coaching, entertainment, professional training, etc.), your expected monthly price, and roughly how many subscribers you expect, I can recommend the specific platform and setup — including what it would cost you per month and how I'd structure the weekly drip.

For a members-only site that releases (drips) new videos every week, I’d focus on platforms that handle four things well:

1. Paid subscriptions (monthly/annual)
2. Video hosting or easy video embedding
3. Drip scheduling (“unlock Week 2 after 7 days”)
4. Member management + email notifications

The best choices depend on how you want the experience to feel:

Best overall: Kajabi

kajabi.com

Best for: A serious paid video membership business.

Pros:

• Excellent drip-course controls
• Built-in website, checkout, email marketing, and automation
• Good for subscriptions, courses, and upsells
• Polished member experience

Cons:

• More expensive than simpler tools

Pick Kajabi if you want your membership to become a real business with funnels, email sequences, and multiple products. Learning Revolution

Best for video courses: Thinkific

thinkific.com

Best for: A structured weekly video curriculum.

Pros:

• Strong course organization
• Lesson drip schedules
• Progress tracking
• Good student experience

Cons:

• Less focused on marketing automation than Kajabi

Great if your membership is basically: “Every Monday, members get the next lesson.” Learning Revolution

Best community + videos: Mighty Networks

mightynetworks.com

Best for: Memberships where interaction matters.

Pros:

• Community feed
• Courses
• Events/live sessions
• Mobile app options

Cons:

• Not as course-centric as Thinkific

Choose this if members should talk to each other, not just watch videos. Mighty Networks

Best budget/simple option: Podia

podia.com

Best for: Solo creators who want to launch quickly.

Pros:

• Simple setup
• Memberships + courses + downloads
• Less technical overhead

Cons:

• Fewer advanced features than Kajabi

Best if you already have WordPress: MemberPress

memberpress.com

Best for: Maximum control.

Pros:

• Works inside your own WordPress site
• Flexible access rules
• Good for complex membership setups

Cons:

• You manage more pieces yourself (hosting, themes, plugins)

My quick recommendation

• You’re selling a premium video membership ($20–$200+/month): Kajabi
• You’re teaching a weekly program/course: Thinkific
• You want a Netflix + community feel: Mighty Networks
• You want the cheapest path to validate an idea: Podia
• You already have a WordPress website: MemberPress

A common setup I’d choose:

• Platform: Kajabi or Thinkific
• Video: native hosting or vimeo.com embeds
• Payments: Stripe
• Email: platform-native automation

If you tell me your expected subscriber count, monthly price, and whether it’s more “course” or “Netflix library” style, I can narrow it to one or two options.

If your core model is “members pay monthly, and I release a new video every week”, I’d shortlist these:

🥇 I'd pick Uscreen for your use case

Uscreen is specifically built around paid video memberships, rather than treating video as just one component of an online-course platform.

You can:

• Charge recurring monthly/annual subscriptions.
• Put videos behind a member login/paywall.
• Create collections/playlists.
• Drip individual videos on a schedule—e.g. Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, etc. help.uscreen.tv
• Send an email when a new video becomes available.
• Create different membership tiers with different content access. help.uscreen.tv
• Give members a Netflix-style video library. www.uscreen.tv
• Eventually offer branded iOS/Android/TV apps if your membership gets large enough. www.uscreen.tv

Uscreen currently advertises plans starting at $49/month, though the exact features and pricing depend on the plan. www.uscreen.tv

One important detail: Uscreen's drip timer is based on when someone first accesses the collection, rather than simply a universal calendar date. help.uscreen.tv

So if your model is:

Subscribe → Week 1 video → Week 2 video → Week 3 video → Week 4 video...

Uscreen is probably the cleanest solution.

When I'd choose Kajabi instead

Kajabi makes more sense if the videos are part of a larger creator/business funnel—for example:

YouTube/Instagram → email list → sales page → membership → courses → coaching → upsells.

Kajabi supports recurring memberships, multiple tiers, gated content, and subscription access natively. www.kajabi.com

It's more of a business/marketing platform that happens to be excellent for memberships, whereas Uscreen is more of a video membership platform.

Podia if you want to keep it simple

Podia is worth considering if you don't need a fancy Netflix-like video experience. It supports hosted video courses, memberships, recurring subscriptions, trials, and different membership plans. help.podia.com

My recommendation: If you tell me roughly how many subscribers you expect (e.g. 50, 500, 5,000), your monthly price, and whether you want a community/chat component, I can narrow this down to the best platform and tell you what I'd actually build the site with.

If your core model is “members subscribe, then get a new video every week”, I’d narrow it to three:

🥇 My pick: Uscreen

If you're primarily selling videos, I'd choose Uscreen.

It is purpose-built around paid video memberships: you can create subscription plans, gate videos to subscribers, organize videos into collections, and use drip delays to release individual videos over time. help.uscreen.tv

For example:

$29/month membership

• Week 1 → Video 1
• Week 2 → Video 2
• Week 3 → Video 3
• Week 4 → Video 4
• etc.

You can also send an email when a new video unlocks, and Uscreen now has native automations for onboarding, trials, cancellations, re-engagement, and drip campaigns. help.uscreen.tv

Uscreen says its plans start at $49/month. www.uscreen.tv

🥈 Kajabi

I'd pick Kajabi instead if you're thinking of this as more of an education/coaching business than a video library.

Kajabi supports recurring memberships, multiple tiers, courses, community, email marketing, and scheduled/dripped content. www.kajabi.com

It's particularly attractive if you eventually want:

• Weekly videos
• Worksheets/PDFs
• Email sequences
• Community
• Coaching
• Webinars
• Upsells
• Multiple membership tiers

In other words, Uscreen = video business, while Kajabi = creator/education business that happens to include video.

🥉 Circle

Circle is compelling if the community is the product and the videos are part of the membership.

It supports recurring paywalls, multiple membership tiers, courses, discussions, chat, events, and gated spaces. help.circle.so

So I'd use Circle for something like:

$39/month — Private community + weekly training + live Q&A

rather than:

$19/month — Netflix-style library of weekly videos

What I'd choose

If you tell me:

“I have 50–200 videos, I want people to subscribe monthly, and I want each member to receive one new video every Monday.”

I'd go Uscreen.

If you tell me:

“The videos are educational, and I also want a sophisticated email funnel, courses, coaching and upsells.”

I'd go Kajabi.

If you tell me:

“The real value is being part of a private group, with weekly videos and discussion.”

I'd go Circle.

If you give me your rough monthly price ($10/$20/$50/etc.), number of videos, and whether you need a community, I can also compare the actual 2026 costs and transaction fees of the top 3 and tell you which I'd use.

Yes. For “members pay monthly/annually → log in → get a new video every week”, I’d shortlist these:

🥇 My pick: Uscreen

If the videos are the actual product, I'd go with Uscreen.

You can create a paid subscription, put videos/collections behind the subscription, and use its drip functionality to release individual videos after a specified number of days. help.uscreen.tv

For example:

Membership: $29/month

• Week 1 → Video 1
• Week 2 → Video 2
• Week 3 → Video 3
• Week 4 → Video 4
• etc.

It also gives you subscription management, multiple membership tiers, community functionality, and native video delivery. help.uscreen.tv

A particularly nice feature is that Uscreen can also automate emails around things like new subscriptions, trials, cancellations, and drip campaigns, so you could have “Your Week 4 video is now available” emails happen automatically. help.uscreen.tv

🥈 Kajabi

I'd choose Kajabi instead if you're building more of an education/coaching business where the videos are only one component.

Kajabi supports video courses, memberships, communities, marketing, and drip scheduling. You can release modules/lessons on specific dates or a set number of days after purchase. www.kajabi.com

The downside is that it's more of an all-in-one business platform than a purpose-built video membership platform.

🥉 Podia

Podia is worth considering if you want simple and relatively low-friction.

It hosts your videos directly, supports paid subscription plans, and lets you delay course sections based on the number of days after enrollment. help.podia.com

So it's quite capable for:

Subscribe → create account → Week 1 video → Week 2 video → Week 3 video...

It also now has community functionality built in. help.podia.com

What I'd do in your shoes

If you tell me roughly what kind of videos you're selling (fitness, education, music lessons, business training, sermons, cooking, etc.) and your expected monthly price + number of subscribers, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and what each would cost you, including the payment processing/platform fees.

If your core product is a members-only site where subscribers get a new video every week, I’d shortlist these:

🥇 I'd pick Uscreen

For what you're describing, Uscreen is probably the cleanest fit. It's designed specifically around paid video memberships rather than being a course platform that happens to support video. It gives you gated video content, recurring subscriptions, a Netflix-style catalog, community features, and even mobile/TV apps at higher tiers. www.uscreen.tv

Most importantly, its course/collection system lets you set a drip delay on each video—so you can do something like:

Week 1: Video 1
Week 2: Video 2
Week 3: Video 3
Week 4: Video 4
...and so on.

The drip timer can start when the member first accesses the collection, which is useful if people join at different times. www.uscreen.tvhelp.uscreen.tvwww.kajabi.comhelp.circle.so

Current Uscreen pricing starts around $49/month, with higher tiers adding things such as additional functionality and mobile apps. www.uscreen.tv

🥈 Kajabi

I'd choose Kajabi instead if the videos are really part of a broader educational/business product.

For example:

$29/month membership
→ Week 1 video
→ Week 2 video
→ Week 3 video
→ weekly email
→ downloadable worksheet
→ community
→ upsell to $499 course

Kajabi supports recurring memberships, gated content, automated emails, multiple membership tiers, and scheduled/dripped course content. www.kajabi.com

It also has a particularly useful monthly-enrolling membership model where someone joining in August doesn't automatically get the content from previous months. help.kajabi.com

🥉 Circle

I'd pick Circle if the community is as important as the videos.

You can charge recurring subscriptions through Circle's paywalls and drip course sections either based on enrollment or on specific dates. help.circle.so

So it works well for something like:

Members → weekly video → discussion → Q&A → community → next week's video

My recommendation

If you tell me what kind of videos you're selling (fitness, education, coaching, entertainment, professional training, etc.) and roughly how much you want to charge per month, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and tell you exactly what I'd build on each one, including approximate monthly cost and how I'd structure the weekly drip.

If your core product is “pay monthly → get a new video every week”, I’d narrow it to these:

🥇 Best overall: Uscreen

Best if video is the main product.

• Built specifically for paid video memberships.
• Members get their own login and gated video library.
• Supports recurring subscriptions and multiple membership tiers. help.uscreen.tvwww.uscreen.tv
• You can drip videos based on enrollment, e.g. Week 1 immediately, Week 2 seven days later, Week 3 fourteen days later. help.uscreen.tv
• Netflix/YouTube-style video experience.
• Can eventually add mobile and TV apps.
• Current plans start at $49/month according to Uscreen. www.uscreen.tvwww.mightynetworks.com

I'd pick this if you're building something like:

“Join my $29/month membership and receive one new training video every Monday, plus access to the previous videos.”

🥈 Best if community is important: Mighty Networks

Mighty is excellent if the videos are only part of the membership and you also want discussion, challenges, events, chat, etc.

It supports scheduled/dripped course content and paid memberships. www.mightynetworks.com

For example:

$39/month membership

• New video every Monday
• Members-only discussion
• Weekly Q&A
• Monthly live workshop
• Resource library

That's a very natural Mighty setup.

🥉 Best for an education/business ecosystem: Kajabi

I'd consider Kajabi if you're also planning to sell courses, coaching, email funnels, landing pages, and other digital products.

It's more of an all-in-one online-business platform than a video-membership-first platform. For a simple weekly video membership, I think Uscreen is the cleaner choice.

My recommendation

For exactly what you described, I'd start with Uscreen. It eliminates a lot of the awkward “website + Vimeo + Stripe + membership plugin + automation” stack because the video hosting, gated access, subscriptions, and membership experience are designed to work together. help.uscreen.tvwww.uscreen.tv

If you tell me (1) roughly how many videos you expect to have, (2) your intended monthly price, and (3) whether members need a community/chat, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and estimate what each would cost you per month.

For a members-only site where people subscribe and receive a new video every week, I’d narrow it to Uscreen, Kajabi, and Memberful.

My top pick: Uscreen

Uscreen is probably the best fit if video is the main product.

• Built specifically around paid video memberships
• Recurring subscriptions and gated video libraries
• Drip scheduling: you can make each video unlock a certain number of days after someone enrolls. help.uscreen.tvhelp.uscreen.tv
• You can have multiple membership tiers
• Members get a Netflix-like video catalog
• Includes community features, email automations, analytics, etc.
• You can eventually add mobile/TV apps if the business grows. help.uscreen.tv

Especially good if your model is:

“Pay $29/month → get Week 1 video immediately → Week 2 next week → Week 3 the following week → etc.”

One important distinction: Uscreen's drip scheduling can be relative to each member's enrollment/access, rather than simply publishing the same video to everyone on a calendar date. help.uscreen.tvhelp.uscreen.tv

#2 Kajabi

Kajabi is better if your videos are part of a broader online education/creator business.

It's strong for:

• Courses
• Memberships
• Email marketing
• Landing pages
• Sales funnels
• Community
• Recurring subscriptions
• Multiple membership tiers

Kajabi explicitly supports recurring memberships and gated content, and its membership architecture is built around modules and lessons. www.kajabi.com

I'd choose Kajabi over Uscreen if you're thinking:

“The videos are one component of my membership business, and I also want sophisticated marketing, courses, email sequences, funnels, and digital products.”

#3 Memberful

Memberful is interesting if you want something simpler and more brand-controlled.

It gives you a branded membership website, subscription plans, gated content, custom domain, checkout, and direct video publishing. memberful.com

The downside for your particular use case is that video drip delivery isn't its standout feature. I'd pick it if you care more about having a straightforward membership website than having a sophisticated video platform.

What I'd choose

For the exact idea you described, I'd start with Uscreen. It removes a lot of the annoying technical pieces—video hosting, subscriber authentication, payments, gated access, content organization and drip delivery—rather than making you stitch together something like WordPress + Stripe + Vimeo + a membership plugin.

If you tell me roughly how much you want to charge per month, how many videos you'll have, and whether subscribers should all get the same weekly video or start their own 8/12/52-week sequence when they join, I can recommend the exact setup and compare the current pricing of the best 3 options.

Yes — for a members-only site where subscribers pay recurring fees and get a new video every week, I’d narrow it to three:

🥇 My pick: Uscreen

Uscreen

If the videos themselves are the product, I'd choose Uscreen. It's specifically built around paid video memberships, rather than being a general website builder that happens to support video.

You can put videos behind a subscription, organize them into collections/courses, and set individual videos to unlock a certain number of days after someone enrolls. help.uscreen.tvhelp.kajabi.com

That makes a model like this straightforward:

$19/month → Join → Week 1 video → Week 2 video → Week 3 video → Week 4 video → etc.

It also supports community, live streaming, marketing tools, and even branded mobile/TV apps, which gives you room to grow beyond a simple website. help.uscreen.tv

🥈 Kajabi — best if you're selling more than videos

Kajabi

I'd choose Kajabi if your business will eventually include courses + email marketing + landing pages + community + coaching + multiple membership tiers.

Kajabi supports recurring memberships and scheduled/dripped course content, including releasing content based on how long someone has been a member. www.kajabi.com

It's particularly attractive if you want:

• $29/month basic membership
• $79/month premium membership
• Weekly videos
• Email sequences
• Community
• Upsells
• Courses/downloads
• Sales pages and checkout

all under one roof.

🥉 MemberPress — best if you already use WordPress

MemberPress

This is the option I'd consider if you want your own WordPress website and don't mind managing more technology.

MemberPress can drip entire pages, courses, or individual course items based on a member's registration/purchase date, with frequencies such as days, weeks, or months. help.uscreen.tvwww.kajabi.commemberpress.com

It's powerful, but you'll generally be assembling more pieces yourself than with Uscreen or Kajabi.

What I'd do for your specific idea

If your concept is essentially:

"People subscribe, log into a private site, and receive a new video every week."

I'd rank them:

1. Uscreen — best overall
2. Kajabi — best if you want a broader creator/business platform
3. MemberPress — best if you specifically want WordPress

One important distinction: drip based on each member's signup date is different from publishing a new video every Friday for everyone simultaneously. Uscreen and Kajabi can accommodate different release models, but I'd choose the setup based on which experience you want. help.uscreen.tvhelp.kajabi.com

If you tell me roughly how much you plan to charge per month, how many videos you'll have, and whether you want a community, I can recommend the cheapest/best setup and estimate your monthly software costs.

If your core model is “members pay monthly and get a new video every week”, I’d narrow it to three:

🥇 I'd pick Uscreen

It's designed specifically around paid video memberships, rather than adapting a course platform into one. You can gate videos behind recurring subscriptions, organize them into collections, and manage member access. help.uscreen.tv

That makes a model like this straightforward:

$29/month → Member joins → Week 1 video → Week 2 video → Week 3 video → Week 4 video → etc.

It also has marketing, analytics, community features, and options for mobile/TV apps as you grow. www.uscreen.tv

Uscreen

🥈 Kajabi

I'd choose Kajabi if the videos are only one part of a bigger business—for example:

• Weekly training videos
• Email marketing
• Sales funnels
• Courses
• Downloads
• Coaching
• Multiple membership tiers

Kajabi supports recurring memberships and can automatically revoke access when a subscription ends. www.kajabi.com

Kajabi

🥉 Mighty Networks

Choose Mighty Networks if you want the membership to feel more like a private club/community than a video library. It has courses with scheduled/dripped lessons, member discussions, events, messaging, and native mobile apps. www.mightynetworks.com

Mighty Networks

My recommendation

For “I create one premium video per week and subscribers get access as long as they keep paying”, I'd rank them:

1. Uscreen — 9/10
2. Kajabi — 8.5/10
3. Mighty Networks — 8/10

One important distinction: if by “drip” you mean every member gets Video #1 one week after joining, Video #2 two weeks after joining, etc., rather than everyone gets the same new video every Monday, tell me—that changes which platform I'd recommend.

Yes. For “members pay monthly → they log in → a new video unlocks every week”, I’d narrow it to three platforms:

🥇 My pick: Uscreen

If your business is essentially “Netflix, but for my niche/content”, I'd choose Uscreen. It's specifically designed around subscription video businesses, with a video library, memberships, community, live streaming, and even branded mobile/TV apps. www.uscreen.tv

The experience could be:

Subscribe → Create account → Welcome video → Week 1 unlocks → Week 2 unlocks → Week 3 unlocks → etc.

That's a better fit than trying to bolt video onto a generic membership website.

🥈 Kajabi

I'd choose Kajabi if the videos are part of a broader course/coaching business.

For example:

$29/month membership
→ New training every Monday
→ Weekly video
→ PDF worksheet
→ Member discussion
→ Email reminder
→ Occasional live Q&A

Kajabi specifically supports releasing content on a schedule and can also prevent new members from seeing previous material if you want a “start from Week 1 when you join” model. www.kajabi.com

Its big advantage is the business/marketing side—landing pages, email, offers, funnels, payments, etc. Current published pricing starts around $143/month for the relevant Kajabi tier, so it's considerably more expensive than some alternatives. www.kajabi.comwww.mightynetworks.com

🥉 Circle

I'd go with Circle if your real product is the community, with videos being the weekly content that keeps people engaged.

You can have separate spaces for things like:

• 🎥 Weekly Training
• 💬 Member Discussion
• 🏆 Challenges
• 📅 Live Events
• 📚 Resource Library

Circle's strength is the community experience rather than being a video-streaming platform. www.kajabi.comwww.mightynetworks.com

What I'd choose based on your description

If you tell me “I have a library of videos and people pay me every month to access them,” → Uscreen.

If you tell me “I'm teaching people something and the videos are organized into a program/course,” → Kajabi.

If you tell me “I want members interacting with each other and the videos are part of that community,” → Circle.

One other option worth considering is Mighty Networks, particularly if you want a strong community component alongside courses and subscriptions. www.mightynetworks.com

If you give me your expected price (e.g. $19/mo, $49/mo, $99/mo), number of subscribers, and whether you want a community/chat, I can tell you which one I'd actually use and what the monthly cost would look like at 100, 500, and 1,000 members.

If your core product is “members pay monthly, then get a new video every week”, I’d shortlist these:

My #1: Uscreen

If you're essentially building a Netflix-style private video library, I'd pick Uscreen. It's specifically designed around video memberships, subscriptions, and recurring revenue rather than adapting a generic course platform to videos. www.uscreen.tv

My #2: Kajabi

I'd choose Kajabi if you also want email marketing, landing pages, checkout, courses, community, upsells, and automation under one roof. It supports recurring memberships and content dripping, including releasing content over time. www.kajabi.com

One particularly useful feature: Kajabi can do “monthly enrolling” memberships, where someone who joins in August doesn't automatically get July's content—they start with the content corresponding to when they joined. help.kajabi.com

My #3: Podia

If you want to get this launched without a lot of complexity, Podia is compelling. It combines website, checkout, courses, community, memberships, email, and digital products. Its current membership system supports paid plans and different tiers. www.podia.com

For your specific model, I'd probably do:

$29–49/month → members log in → Week 1 video → Week 2 unlocks → Week 3 unlocks → etc.

If you want new members to start at Week 1, regardless of when they join, Kajabi/Podia-style course dripping is attractive.

If you want “the video of the week” and everyone sees the same new video each Friday, that's a slightly different model, and I'd lean toward Uscreen.

If you tell me (1) roughly how many subscribers you expect, (2) your monthly price, and (3) whether you want a community/chat component, I can narrow it down to the best 1–2 options and compare the actual costs.

For your specific model — people subscribe, log in, and get a new video every week — I’d shortlist these:

🥇 My pick: Uscreen

If the video itself is the product, I'd choose Uscreen.

It is built specifically around paid video memberships: subscribers get a Netflix-style video library, subscriptions, gated content, community features, and potentially branded mobile/TV apps. www.uscreen.tv

So your experience could be:

Join → Pay $29/month → Create account → Week 1 video → Week 2 video → Week 3 video → ...

You can also have a growing library rather than forcing everyone through a traditional "course." That's a meaningful distinction if you're essentially running a weekly video subscription rather than selling a finite course. www.uscreen.tv

Uscreen's current pricing information shows a Starter tier around $49/month, with higher tiers for larger memberships and apps. www.uscreen.tv

🥈 Kajabi

I'd pick Kajabi if your videos are part of a bigger creator business — e.g. videos + email marketing + courses + downloads + coaching + sales funnels.

Kajabi explicitly supports recurring memberships and dripping content on a schedule, including weekly releases. It can also do "monthly enrolling" memberships where a new subscriber doesn't automatically receive the older content that existed before they joined. www.kajabi.comhelp.kajabi.com

That last feature could be really useful depending on what you mean by "drip."

🥉 Circle

Circle is particularly attractive if you want the site to feel like a private club/community, rather than simply a video library.

Its paid plans include courses, video lessons, drip content, membership tiers, discussions, events, live streams, and payments. The Professional plan is currently listed at $89/month. circle.so

One important question

There are actually two very different ways to structure your weekly video subscription:

A. Everyone gets the same new video every Monday

Member joins → gets Week 1 → next Monday gets Week 2 → everyone stays on the same schedule.

B. Each member starts their own 12-week journey

Alice joins today → Video 1 today → Video 2 next week
Bob joins three weeks later → Video 1 when he joins → Video 2 a week later

If you're doing B, I'd lean Kajabi because its monthly-enrolling/drip functionality is particularly relevant. www.kajabi.comhelp.kajabi.com

If you're doing A, and the core product is essentially "Netflix for my niche", I'd lean Uscreen.

If you tell me what kind of videos you're selling, roughly how much you'll charge per month, and whether members should see the old videos, I can narrow this down to the best 1–2 options and tell you exactly how I'd set it up.
