Community pros switch from Mighty to Circle every day, and don’t look back
“I’ve just switched over from using Mighty Networks to host my community and it’s such a relief to be here in Circle— it’s so simple and clean! I’m trying to help reduce the noise, overwhelm and distraction in people’s lives. So, how the platform looks and feels is really important to me.”
Katie Seaman, Founder - Blackwater Coaching
"Mighty Networks wiped out all but one space in my paywalls when they did a big upgrade. My members were pissed, quit, and demanded refunds, thinking I was trying to scam them. It was such a mess—and Mighty Networks refused to acknowledge any issue. I'm having a much better experience with Circle!"
Jana Oliveria, Founder - 2WorldsArt
"Unfortunately, I paid for a year with Mighty Networks, and did the community design too. The whole system is limiting. You can't write long enough blurbs in certain places. There are a ton of distractions. And the whole system, at least for me, was not intuitive at all. So, I constantly got lost trying to find something. As far as membership sites go, Circle is it.”
Gloria Ginn, Founder - School of Better Eyesight
Here’s where Mighty Networks falls short:
Mighty talks a big game but can’t keep up with Circle’s product momentum.
Mighty claims "all-in-one", but you’ll need third-party tools to fill the gaps.
Mighty calls it AI, but it’s just basic logic — no real automation, no intelligence.

Frequently asked questions
Is Mighty Networks more affordable than Circle?
Yes, Mighty is cheaper. Unfortunately, just like most other things in life, you can only choose two: good, fast, or cheap. At Circle, we’ve chosen excellence in quality and speed of product development.
Think about the last time you chose the cheaper option:
- It broke.
- It malfunctioned.
- It wasn’t as easy to use as you hoped.
- And, ultimately, you had to spend even more money replacing it (or adding to it) than you could have spent investing in a good quality product in the first place.
Choosing a community platform is a long-term decision that impacts your whole business: so make the one that you can depend on today, and 5 years from now.
What has Mighty shipped recently? And how is it different than Circle’s product roadmap?
Mighty's last major launch was “People Magic” in early 2024—basic profile introductions and icebreakers they positioned as AI. Since then, most updates have been bug fixes and minor features other platforms shipped years ago (like public spaces, finally added in 2025).
Meanwhile, Circle ships 30+ major releases every quarter: AI Agents, AI Workflows, Website Builder, Custom App Builder, Circle Connect, native desktop apps, and advanced checkout tools. We're defining what modern community platforms can do, whereas Mighty is struggling to catch up despite being around for longer.
How do I know which platform will grow with my business?
Start by understanding this: migrating communities can be painful. You lose members. Payments break. Revenue drops. It's not something you want to do twice.
You're not just picking software—you're choosing infrastructure for the next 5+ years. Look for a platform that:
- Ships customer-requested features every quarter.
- Invests in engineers, not just marketers.
- Won't force you to migrate again in 18 months when you outgrow the limitations.
Mighty sells the dream. Circle builds a platform that lasts.
Is it true that Mighty offers unlimited admins and spaces?
Yes. But those limits exist in Circle to ensure performance, moderation, and quality. We offer scale where it matters, without compromising your member experience.
Mighty claims to offer “white-glove” or “do-it-for-me” services. Does Circle?
Circle offers a more strategic, partnership-driven approach. You get:
- A dedicated migrations team to handle community, course, payment, and email transfers.
- An onboarding team to guide setup and launch.
- A CSM for ongoing strategic support.
Mighty’s white-glove model sets things up for you, but offers little collaboration—just quarterly performance check-ins, not real strategic guidance. If you want a partner to help grow your business, not just stand it up, Circle delivers that.
