When that number is reached, the Membership is removed from your Subscription Plan page, so no one else is offered it. It is the way to run founding-member deals, small cohorts or any plan with a fixed number of places. This guide switches the add-on on, sets a limit for a Membership and shows what visitors see when the Membership is full. Before you start - The **Limited Subscriptions Level** add-on is installed and active. It's a Pro add-on, included in the Full Package and Agency plans. See [Install a Pro add-on](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/install-pro-add-ons/). - Your license is active. See [Find and activate your license key](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/where-to-find-your-license-key/). - A Subscription Plan page that lists your Memberships. See [Build your pricing page](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/set-custom-subscription-plan/). ## Turn it on and set the limits 1. Go to Ultimate Membership Pro*›*Modules and open the **Limited Subscriptions Level** card. 2. Switch on **Activate/Hold Limited Subscriptions Level Integration**. 3. Under **Levels Limits**, type a number next to each Membership you want to limit, then click Save Changes. [![Limited Subscriptions Level box with the activate switch turned on, numbered 1, and the Annual Pass limit set to 2, numbered 2, while Free Community and Pro Monthly are empty](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-ao-limited-subs-01-settings-v2.png)](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-ao-limited-subs-01-settings-v2.png) Annual Pass is limited to 2 subscriptions here, to keep the pictures short. 1Activate/Hold Limited Subscriptions Level Integration Turns the add-on on. When a Membership reaches its limit, it is removed from the Subscription Plan showcase. Default: **Off** 2Levels Limits One number field for each Membership, labeled with its name. Leave a field blank for a Membership with no limit. Default: **Empty (no limit)** What counts toward the limit The limit counts the subscriptions assigned to the Membership, whatever their status. A subscription that has expired or is on hold still uses one place. ## See what visitors get Below the limit, the Membership shows on the Subscription Plan page as usual: [![Subscription Plan page with three plan cards: Free Community, Pro Monthly at $19 per month and Annual Pass at $149 per year](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-ao-limited-subs-02-before.png)](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-ao-limited-subs-02-before.png) Before: all three Memberships are offered. Once the number of subscriptions reaches the limit, the Membership is gone from the page: [![Subscription Plan page with two plan cards, Free Community and Pro Monthly, and no Annual Pass](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-ao-limited-subs-03-after.png)](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-ao-limited-subs-03-after.png) After: Annual Pass has 2 subscriptions, so it is no longer offered. Make room again To open places again, raise the number under Levels Limits, or leave the field blank to remove the limit. The Membership comes back to the page at once. ## Example: 100 founding places **Coaching Club**Annual Pass, $149/year, limited to the first 100 members. **Activate/Hold Limited Subscriptions Level Integration** : On **Free Community** : Blank, no limit **Pro Monthly** : Blank, no limit **Annual Pass** : 100 **Result** : After the 100th subscription, Annual Pass disappears from the Subscription Plan page. Free Community and Pro Monthly stay. ## Learn more about Limited Subscriptions Level - [Limited Subscriptions Level add-on page](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/addon/limited-subscriptions-level/): what it does, at a glance. - [All Pro add-ons for Ultimate Membership Pro](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/pro-addons/). - [Ultimate Membership Pro plans](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/pricing/): Pro add-ons come with the Full Package and Agency plans. - [Subscription business model (Wikipedia)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subscription_business_model). ## Troubleshooting The Membership is still on my Subscription Plan page after reaching the limit. Why? Check that the switch is on and saved, and that the number is filled in for that Membership. Then count the subscriptions: the add-on counts every subscription assigned to the Membership, whatever its status, and hides the Membership when the count equals or passes the limit. Clear your page cache if you use one. The Membership disappeared before I expected. Why? The count includes expired and on-hold subscriptions, and subscriptions you assigned by hand. Raise the limit or leave the field blank. Where does the limit show for the visitor? It doesn't show as a message. The Membership is simply no longer listed on the Subscription Plan page. How do I stop selling a Membership after a set number of sign-ups in Ultimate Membership Pro? Turn on the Limited Subscriptions Level add-on and type the maximum number next to the Membership under Levels Limits. When the number is reached, the Membership is removed from the Subscription Plan page. ## What's next [**Build your pricing page**Show your Memberships as plans.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/set-custom-subscription-plan/)[**Give group accounts to companies (My Group Accounts)**Sell one Membership with several seats.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/my-group-accounts/)[**Give one Membership access to everything (Granted Subscription)**An all-access plan.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/granted-subscriptions/)[**Create your first Membership**Set up the plans you sell.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/step-2-create-levelssubscriptions/)
