Users can join free communities without any upfront cost or financial commitments.
These communities have access to essential features that are entirely up to the creator to offer.
Community Engagement
Members can participate in discussions, share resources, access limited courses, and collaborate on projects. Discussions are typically more basic than what a member would find in a paid community.
Free communities can help build engagement and foster a sense of belonging among members without requiring a financial commitment.
Free communities can also see faster surges in growth and can later be converted into paid communities or have in-app purchases.
Creators have the option to upsell services inside the communities to cover the monthly cost to maintain the network. See Subscriptions for more information.
Limitations
Free communities might have limited access to advanced features compared to paid ones (creator dependent).
There may be restrictions on the number of members or the volume of content that can be hosted.
Some courses included inside of free communities can be gatekept by the creator to enhance the quality membership and provide further value based on student progression.
Example: An open community for hobbyists sharing tips and resources on a common interest like working out or book clubs. These communities focus on engagement without the pressure of monetization.
