With no mobile app, live streams or monetization options, online communities struggle with Tribe. Circle gives community managers the tools they need to grow their audience and business.
Tribe’s text-based online communities are missing the features that keep your members excited about your content, engaging with each other, and buying from you.
Get face-to-face time with your members. Support your promotional activities with the most engaging format on community platforms: video.
Keep things engaging with co-hosts. Invite customers on video. Use the chat to drive up excitement.
With Circle, audio doesn’t lag, video doesn’t freeze, and everything comes out crisp and clear.
Members can see and add events to their calendars. Ensure everyone gets to connect with your brand.
Circle community platforms have built-in monetization options. Charge whatever you want for your content and online courses, whenever you want to, with minimal effort from you or your members.
Create multiple tiers to unlock access to your content and online courses. Use trials, upgrades, upsells, and coupons.
Choose from one-time fees to weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual subscriptions.
More sales come through when you allow members to pay without leaving your online community.
“I personally think the folks building Circle are thinking about community in a more holistic way than some of the other tools on the market – they’re thinking beyond a forum.”

with your members while you’re on the go. No
desktop needed.

“To do the things I wanted would make a hassle in terms of payment processing with Mighty Networks. Because I didn’t want to have 2 sites for my members and students I decided to do the trial at Circle to see if it was possible. I’m now a paid member and see that I can get my vision done.”
Circle is an all-in-one tool for online community building. But if there’s an integration you really need, we’ve got you covered — Circle is the Tribe alternative that integrates with 1,000s of services including Zapier and Shopify, allowing you to make your community fully customizable.
Absolutely. Circle uses Stripe to process payments so you can be sure it’s safe while you build successful communities. But, if you’d prefer to use your own provider, there’s an integration for that via Zapier.
