Community Platform Pricing Tracker
Community platforms change their prices and fees often, and the fees matter more than the plan price once members start paying you. This page keeps the numbers in one place. I check every row against the vendor's own pricing page or help center at least once a month, and the changelog at the bottom shows what moved and when.

Plan prices
Monthly cost per plan. Where a vendor shows prices on annual billing, I use that figure and say so.
| Platform | Entry plan | Middle plan | Top published plan | Free plan? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skool | Hobby $9 | Pro $99 | No | |
| Systeme.io | Startup $17 | Webinar $47 | Unlimited $97 | Yes |
| Mighty Networks | Launch $79 | Scale $179 | Growth $354 | No |
| Circle (annual billing) | Professional $89 | Business $199 | Scale $419 | No |
| Kajabi (annual billing) | Basic $143 | Growth $199 | Pro $399 | No |
Kajabi's monthly-billed prices are $179, $249 and $499. Circle's pricing page shows annual-billed prices only. Mighty Networks lists $950 a year for Launch.
Transaction fees
What each platform takes from your members' payments, before or on top of card processing.

| Skool Hobby | 10% + 30¢, processing included | Included |

Sources
Each figure comes from the vendor's own pages: Skool's help center article on transaction fees, and the pricing pages of Systeme.io, Mighty Networks, Circle and Kajabi. I don't use third-party pricing sites, because they're often out of date.
