Creators, Coaches & Online Educators
You Built the Audience. You Should Own the Ground It Stands On.
Socio Connect builds fully owned custom community platforms for creators, coaches, and online educators — the permanent alternative to Circle.so, Mighty Networks, and Kajabi for creators who have built a real audience and are ready to stop paying forever and start owning.
You built something remarkable. An audience of people who trust your voice, show up for your content, and pay for access to your community. That is not easy. Most people who try don't get there.
And yet the ground beneath that audience belongs to someone else. Circle.so. Mighty Networks. Kajabi. They built their business on top of your community. Every member you add makes their platform more valuable — and raises the cost of leaving.
Your community deserves ground you own.
What Platform Dependency Actually Costs You.
The monthly fee is the visible cost. The invisible costs are higher.
Every price increase is a tax on your success. Every feature you can't build is a ceiling on your community's potential. Every time your platform changes its interface, your members experience disruption you didn't choose and can't control. And if you ever want to leave — really leave, with your data and your community intact — you find out how expensive dependency actually is.
Your community is not a subscription. Stop paying like it is.
What You Actually Get When You Own Your Platform
When Socio Connect builds your platform, it's yours. Not white-labeled under our brand. Not hosted on our infrastructure. Yours — the code, the domain, the member database, the content library. What that means practically:
No transaction fees
Circle takes 4% of your membership revenue. On $500,000 in revenue, that's $20,000/year going to Circle for no additional value. A custom build takes 0%.
No monthly SaaS fees
After the build, your only costs are hosting (typically $200–$500/month at your scale) and optional maintenance — not a growing subscription.
No platform risk
Your community doesn't disappear if a vendor changes terms, raises prices, or shuts down. You own the infrastructure.
No feature limitations
Your checkout flow, your onboarding experience, your content structure, your member experience — built to your exact specifications.
Your brand, completely
Not Circle's aesthetic applied to your content. Your design language, your visual identity, your experience — built from scratch.
Built for Creator Complexity.
Creator community platforms have specific requirements that generic tools handle poorly:
Membership tiers
Free preview, monthly subscriber, annual member, VIP cohort — each with different access and pricing
Cohort programs
Time-based group programs with intake, progression, and graduation tracking
Live event integration
Virtual workshops, Q&As, community calls — scheduled and promoted within the platform
Content library
Video courses, audio, documents, organised by program or category — fully owned
Branded mobile app
Your app in the App Store and Play Store, not Circle's app with your name on it
Community spaces
Discussion feeds, direct messaging, mastermind pods — all within your owned platform
Affiliate and referral tracking
Member referral programs built into the platform — no third-party tools required
The Math on Ownership
Let's say you're generating $40,000/month in community revenue on Circle Pro ($89/month + 4% transaction fee).
Circle Pro — Annual Cost
$20,268/yr
- $1,068 — platform subscription
- $19,200 — 4% of $480,000 revenue
- $101,340 over five years. You own nothing.
Socio Connect — Total Cost
$85K–$115K
- One-time build — you own it forever
- Zero transaction fees on revenue
- By year two, you're ahead. By year five, you have an asset.
Year one, the economics are comparable. Year two, you're ahead. Year five, you've saved significantly — and you have an asset.
