Likelihood to Recommend
If you want to create a community based teaching or communication this would be a great platform. If you also want to sell courses or content, this would be a great place to do that. Giving a group of people a place to come together and learn from each other. I wouldn't recommend this for a person who isn't interested in creating a community, if you want to just sell courses, you can use other software for that

Hivebrite is a great platform if you and your team do not want to manage a custom-built website - which can be both time-consuming and costly.

  • LMS - It would be great if native learning management system functions could be added to the platform.
  • 1:1 Conversations - the private messaging feature could definitely be improved upon.
  • Language integration - being able to translate comments and conversations on the platform would be helpful to our global audience.

It was the easiest to set up and it was suggested by a lot of people as the best one for my needs! I have zero previous experience about building a community so I tried to listen to suggestions of ppl with more experience than myself. So far it has been a good choice

Mighty Networks is another platform that is insanely cheap but does not have any upgrade options.
