Circle
Branded community platform with courses, events and paid memberships
1/3Circle is a platform for running a paid community under your own brand, bringing discussions, courses, live streams, events and memberships into one place instead of a stack of separate tools. It handles the money side too, with branded checkout, subscriptions and one-off products, and the marketing side with email campaigns, workflows, segmentation and an audience CRM. It runs on the web and on iOS and Android, with fully branded apps of your own available on the top plan.
- Discussion spaces, member feeds and direct messaging
- Courses, live streams and live rooms alongside the community
- Events with a searchable member directory and rich profiles
- Paid memberships and subscriptions through branded checkout
- Website builder with landing pages and a custom domain
- Email campaigns, workflows and audience segmentation
- Circle AI, with AI agents and workflows on Circle Plus
- Admin API, headless member API and MCP on Business plans
