Run your whole community business from one platform

Heartbeat is one community platform for discussions, courses, events, payments, landing pages, documents, and automation, in a place your members already know.

Creators have built 37,000+ communities on it and been paid over $27M. Most run a coaching, course, or membership business that used to live in six different tabs.

Start building


Discussions

Own your audience instead of renting it from an algorithm

Your brand, your members, your rules. Conversations live on your own domain instead of a feed you don't control, and over 750,000 members are already part of Heartbeat communities.

Courses

Teach where your members already are

Creators have built 30,000+ courses inside Heartbeat, and they live right next to the community instead of in a separate tool you stitch together yourself.

Events

Run live sessions without doing the logistics

Heartbeat sets up the Zoom, invites your members, and brings the recording back into the community afterward.

Workflows

Stop running the business by hand

Onboarding, follow-ups, and win-backs run themselves, and they start on the $49 Build plan rather than behind an upgrade.

Landing Pages

Sell your membership without a separate page builder

Describe the page you want, the AI builds it, and you change anything you don't like.

Documents

Give your resources a home members actually check

Templates, lesson notes, and resources sit where members go looking for them, instead of in a shared drive you keep re-sending links to.

Do community platforms actually help you grow, or do they just host?

Most host. The difference shows at the entry tier, because growth tooling is usually the first thing a platform gates. On Heartbeat, workflows start on the $49 Build plan and onboard new members and follow up when someone goes quiet. From Grow at $149, a member who starts cancelling is offered a coupon and then a downgrade before they leave. Pulse AI is on every plan. Circle keeps Workflows, custom profile fields and branded email on its $199 Business tier.

How much does a community platform cost?

Between about $9 and a few hundred a month, and the sticker price is the smaller half of it. Skool is $9 on Hobby and takes 10%, which already covers card processing. Circle is $89 on Professional billed annually and $199 on Business, with 2% and 1% fees. Mighty Networks is $95. Kajabi starts at $179. Heartbeat is $49 on Build at 5%, $149 on Grow at 2.5%, and $849 on Scale at 1.25%. Most platform fees, including Heartbeat's, sit on top of card processing at roughly 2.9% plus 30 cents, so work out the all-in rate on your own revenue before comparing monthly prices.

What is the best platform for a membership site?

The shortlist is usually Circle, Mighty Networks, Skool, Kajabi and Heartbeat, and what separates them is what you get on day one. Circle and Mighty charge the lowest transaction fees at 2%, 1% and 0.5%. Skool is the cheapest and simplest start at $9 a month. Heartbeat puts the membership, courses, events, payments and automation on one entry plan, Build at $49 a month with a 5% fee, including workflows and Pulse AI.

What's included in Heartbeat?

Discussions, courses, events, payments, landing pages, documents and automated workflows, in one platform. All of them are on the $49 Build plan, with five workflows, one custom landing page and the Powered by Heartbeat badge. Grow at $149 adds unlimited workflows, cancellation flows and white-label emails. Scale at $849 adds the branded mobile app.

Do I still need a separate course tool or payment processor?

No. Courses run inside Heartbeat next to your discussions and events, and payments are built in on Stripe, with memberships, tiers, and billing handled for you. Creators have been paid over $27M through Heartbeat Payments.

Can I get my own branded app and my own domain for my community?

Yes. Your community runs on your own custom domain with your branding from the $49 Build plan, and the Powered by Heartbeat badge comes off on Grow. The branded iOS and Android app is on the Scale plan at $849 a month, so members open your app rather than a third-party one.
