Free Membership Software
If you are looking for a "free membership software" solution you have very few options. One option is to use a WordPress Blog and password protect certain posts or use a free community service like Ning, but you will not have the core features that make the hosted and self-hosted solutions a much better choice thanks to their included automated membership functions.
Hosted Membership Software
One of the fastest ways to launch a new membership site is to use one of the "hosted membership software" solutions on the market. By outsourcing the membership hosting, software and backup to a third-party, you can focus your efforts on the sales, content and retention of your member site.
