Paid Memberships Pro: worth it for flexible memberships, not currency display alone
Paid Memberships Pro is worth choosing if you need a serious, flexible membership system and are comfortable configuring WordPress rather than expecting a turnkey SaaS experience. Its local-pricing feature is useful for showing an approximate visitor currency, but it does not make the payment gateway charge in that currency, so it is not a strong reason to buy PMPro by itself.

How we rule
You should not have to read nine hundred words to find out whether something is worth your time. Every page opens with the decision.
Every ruling names the people it does not suit. A site that recommends everything recommends nothing.
The drawbacks we list are the ones showing up in support forums and reviews, not ones we imagined. We say where they came from.
