We use cookies to keep the site working and understand how you use it. See our Privacy Policy for details. No tracking ads, no selling your data.
Feed, chat, courses, events and paid memberships in one place. Your own space, on your own domain, taking your own payments. Get it on its own, or as part of the whole Marketing Machine platform. Either way, not a penny of your members' money goes anywhere but your own account.
You spent months getting people into your community. Showing up, posting, answering the same questions, building something people actually turn up for. And what have you got at the end of it? A tab you pay for every month, on a platform that takes a slice of everything you sell, that can change its rules or shut your group overnight and leave you with nothing. No member list. No email export. Nothing.
Facebook did exactly that in June 2025, suspending thousands of groups by mistake and leaving owners locked out of audiences they had spent years building. Skool and Circle will not lock you out, but they will keep charging you every month and take a cut of every sale, forever, on an audience that is technically sat on their servers, not yours.
That is renting. You do all the work, they hold the keys, and the rent never stops.
Communities is your own space, running on infrastructure we look after, on your own domain, taking payments straight into your own Stripe. Your members, your content, your rules. We do not sit in the middle of your money and we cannot be outbid by whoever pays the platform more next year.
You get the whole lot in one room: the feed, the chat, the courses, the events, the paid memberships. No stitching Skool to Kajabi to Zoom to a separate payment tool and praying they talk to each other.
Most "multi-tenant" platforms put every customer's data in one big database and keep it apart with a tenant ID column. One bug in the wrong place and someone else's data is on your screen. Communities does not work like that. Every community runs on its own separate backend, its own database, its own records. There is no shared pile to leak from, because your data is not sat next to anyone else's to begin with. That is a real, checkable claim, and most of the big names cannot say it.
Your community connects to your own Stripe account. Your members' money goes to your bank, not through ours. We take zero. Not 2%, not 10%, nothing. Compare that to Skool taking up to 10% and Circle taking up to 2% of everything your community earns, month after month. On a community doing real numbers, that is thousands a year that stays with you instead of them.
Your home base. Rich text posts, polls, images, @mentions, pinned announcements and threaded comments with live likes and reactions.
Direct and group messaging with reactions, reply threads, file sharing, read receipts, typing indicators and full message search.
Build proper courses with multiple lesson types, drip scheduling, quizzes, graded assignments, completion certificates and course bundles.
A shared community calendar with recurring events, timezone-aware scheduling, RSVPs, capacity waitlists with auto-promotion and email reminders.
Go live with video, audio and screenshare, with live chat running right alongside the stream.
Run challenges to keep people moving, and coaching spaces to work with members directly.
Points, levels, streaks and badges wired into the actions that matter, with a leaderboard that keeps people coming back.
Subscription tiers with monthly and annual pricing, free trials, coupon codes and multi-currency, all running through Stripe checkout on your own account.
Theme the whole thing to your colours and put it on your own domain yourself, from an admin page, no tickets and no waiting on us. Changes go live in about ten minutes.
Your members get to it from their phone, not just a laptop.
The tools to keep it tidy, plus email notifications so people actually come back when something happens.
Your members, your content, your community. You set the tone and the boundaries, on a space that is actually yours.
No "we'll build your community and email you in a few days." The room is ready the second your plan is sorted. It sets itself up, gets configured, gets your domain attached and lands your owner invite in your inbox. You walk in and start posting.
And it stays tied to your account. As long as you are with us, your community is up. It is not another login you have to babysit or another subscription bolted on the side. It is part of the platform.
If you run an agency, this is the bit that changes your offer. You can give every client their own community, fully branded to them, and it provisions itself the moment they pay. No dev work, no manual setup, no you being the bottleneck.
Every client gets their own separate backend, so one client's data can never touch another's. Every client takes their own member payments into their own Stripe, so you are never sat in the middle of their money. Suspend, pause or resume a client's account and their community follows automatically. A paused client sees a holding page, not a dead link, and if someone leaves their data is kept for 90 days so a change of heart does not wipe everything.
We host it and keep it running. You brand it and deliver it as part of your packages. It is a reason for your clients to be on a bigger plan, not another cost line you have to explain.
Delivered as a hosted, white-labelled service to your clients. It is not sold as source or a platform you resell on.

Communities comes two ways. Buy it on its own as a standalone community platform, or get it built into the full Marketing Machine platform alongside your CRM, sites, content and the rest.
