After using Thinkific, I switched to Circle.

Pros

I really like It because it keeps everything organized in one place. It's awesome for chatting with my course students and also makes managing my videos and materials super easy.

Cons

I wish It had more flexibility with automation and more storage. Those were my initial concerns but after using it for a while, I really wish we could create multiple communities not just one. I'm also not a fan of the high transaction fees but I can deal with them as long as the features we need are there. Hopefully they'll address these issues down the line.

Circle helps us expand our community

Pros

This software made it so easy for us to build and grow a private community. We can add features whenever we need them and the customer support team is super quick to help when anything comes up although that doesn't happen often. I use it every day and love it.

Cons

There are a few limitations but overall the platform does exactly what we need.

Community & course content together

Pros

After trying out a ton of different platforms, we switched to Circle to have both our course content and community in one place (instead of spread across social media and other platforms). It's perfect for both our team and customers giving them easy access to everything. They're always updating and we've been with It for over two years now and a lot of the features we were missing when we first joined are now here.

Cons

Honestly I've got no complaints to mention.
