Mighty Networks

A community with courses and events built in

Heartbeat covers the same community, courses and events combination, from $49 a month, without Mighty Networks' branded app.

Works with Discord

Community, courses and a calendar in one paid space

Skool at $9 plus a revenue share puts community, courses and a calendar in one paid space, simpler and cheaper to start.

Community software that looks like yours, not ours

Circle brands the community as your own space rather than a network members join, built for a business that wants its name on everything.

A branded social network for one community

Honeycommb at $25 builds a branded social network for one community, closer to an app of your own than a hosted space.

Your community as an app in the app stores

Disciple puts the community into its own branded app in the app stores, at $399 a month for that dedicated presence.

Courses, community and short challenges

Heights Platform is built around short challenges as much as ongoing community, from $19 a month, lighter than Mighty Networks for a cohort-style program.

Forum software, hosted or run yourself

Discourse is forum software you can run yourself, with a free tier to start, plainer than Mighty Networks and without the courses or branded app.

Forum software you can host yourself

NodeBB is self-hosted forum software from $20 with a free tier, for a community that wants discussion and nothing else.

Forum software you host yourself

Flarum is forum software you host yourself, free, threads on your own server with no courses or memberships around them.

Channels for a community that outgrew a group chat

Slack from $9 with a free tier gives channels immediately, with none of the course or membership machinery to configure.
