Get everything you need to engage and monetize your community — all in one place, under your brand. Mix and match posts, events, chat, live streams, payments, courses, and more to create the seamless member experience of your dreams. 2) Highly customizable: There isn’t a single ‘right’ way to build a community. That’s why Circle provides all the building blocks and guidance you need to bring your unique community vision to life. Circle's highly customizable spaces empower you to set your community up just as you like it, while your own custom domain plus branding ensures that your brand stands out. 3) Stay in control: Unlike a lot of other community platforms, Circle enables you to own your content, domain, and data. You have full control over the look and feel of your community as well as relationships with your members. Nobody has the power to ban your members, censor discussions, or delete your hard-earned work. 4) Earn more: Circle’s easy monetization empowers your community to grow alongside your business. Using Paywalls, you can decide whether to charge for a single space, a set of spaces, your entire community, or a combination of all of the above. Earn more by offering free trials, discounts, upsells, and subscription options to your members at the right place, at the right time. 5) Flexible: Circle both unifies your community-building tech stack and seamlessly fits into your existing workflow. Choose from thousands of integrations to customize your community, while SSO and API access allow you to connect Circle to your website, app, CRM, or any other valuable web asset. Circle is available on web, iOS, and Android. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.7/5** | 48 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.7/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.4/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: CircleCo ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: US$49,00 - **Pricing model**: Flat Rate (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Basic Plan: $49/month — · Rich member profiles · Searchable member directory · Discussions · Real-time Chat Spaces · Events · Private Messaging · Paid Memberships · Custom Domain · Weekly Community Digest --- Professional Plan: $99/month — · Everything on the Basic plan plus:  · Unlimited members · Courses · Native Live Streams and Rooms · Brand Colors \& Custom Themes · White-label Community · Zapier Integration · Reporting \& Analytics · Custom Code Snippets · Conversion Tracking --- Enterprise Plan: $399/month — · Everything on the Professional plan plus: · Custom SSO  · API access · Concierge onboarding support · Dedicated Customer Success Manager \[Annual plan only\] · Custom Fields · Priority Customer Support · Sandbox Community · Email White-labeling · Up to 10 admins \& unlimited moderators - **Target Audience**: Self Employed, 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1 000, 1 001–5 000, 5 001–10 000, 10 000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Android (Mobile), iPhone (Mobile) - **Supported Languages**: Brazilian Portuguese, English, Portuguese - **Available Countries**: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, American Samoa, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Aruba, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium and 208 more ## Features - @mentions - API - Access Controls/Permissions - Activity Dashboard - Activity Tracking - Alerts/Notifications - Billing & Invoicing - Chat/Messaging - Client Management - Commenting/Notes - Communication Management - Contact Database - Content Management - Customizable Branding - Customizable Fields - Customizable Templates - Data Import/Export - Discussions/Forums - Document Storage - Drag & Drop ## Integrations (22 total) - Airtable - Auth0 - Bubble - CodePen - GitHub - Google Maps - Instagram - Loom - MemberSpace - Memberstack - Outseta - Slack - Stripe - Thinkific - Twitter/X ... and 7 more integrations ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base ## Category - [Course Authoring Software](https://www.getapp.za.com/directory/861/course-authoring/software) ## Related Categories - [Course Authoring Software](https://www.getapp.za.com/directory/861/course-authoring/software) - [Membership Management Software](https://www.getapp.za.com/directory/171/membership-management/software) - [Community Software](https://www.getapp.za.com/directory/585/online-community/software) - [Social Networking Tools](https://www.getapp.za.com/directory/105/social-networking/software) - [Coaching Software](https://www.getapp.za.com/directory/1491/coaching/software) ## Alternatives 1.

Very product is driven and committed to updating new tools. > > **Cons**: Real-time chat is a bit slow and sometimes glitches. ----- ### "Circle Review" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *22 November 2024* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I found the Circle pretty intuitive and well supported compared to other products I've seen. We can set up a community in a matter of weeks with all the features we want from this platform. > > **Cons**: There is a big price jump from the business edition to the next levels up. > > Overall I was pleased with the product and the features it provided. The support response time was excellent, which aside from that, was a big part of our decision to choose Circle. ----- ### "Excellent for a lot of use cases but lacking some core features" — 4.0/5 > **Jessa** | *12 January 2023* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Circle was very easy to onboard and integrate. The company is very involved in their own community, and seemed to be extremely engaged with user feedback and activating on it. We've been live for 7 months now and many of the features I was disappointed weren't available have already been pushed live, with more on their roadmap coming in the next several months. > > **Cons**: Out of the box, it's very easy to use but only comes with one template making all Circle communities look very homogenous and restricted in customizations. The analytics dashboard is sorely lack and needs a complete overhaul. Very little access to editing user profiles on the backend. Not great for content organization with lack of content tags or a knowledgebase template to organize FAQs or content libraries. > > Overall I think Circle is a good value for it's cost and is suitable for a lot of folks who have smaller communities or who focus on a membership-based business. They seem very product driven in their approach and committed to delivering new features and improving on a continual basis. ----- ### "The next level of your community" — 5.0/5 > **Marco** | *16 September 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Circle is a really great and flexible platform\! It allows you to build beautiful communities with extreme simplicity\! It also has many features such as the ability to create memebri areas and private groups, do live streaming directly from the platform, which will take the management and growth of your community to the next level. > > **Cons**: It would be nice to be able to have Circle in multiple languages, this would not only allow for more customer acquisition, but would be really convenient for community members who struggle to speak English. > > My experience has been great with Circle and I highly recommend it to those who want to create a high-profile community and give exclusivity to their members. ----- ### "The best plateform to have a professional community" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *11 September 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Professionnal plateform Can be uses with btob > > **Cons**: Not enough intuitive for administrator Limited spaces > > I find the experience really professionnal, like slack ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2063621/circle?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2063621/circle) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
