Looking for a Mighty Networks alternative? See our ranked comparison.→What is Mighty Networks?
Mighty Networks is a platform for running a paid community, with courses, live events, and discussion spaces bundled into one product. Every plan gets you a hosted community site; white-label iOS and Android apps are a separate paid add-on offered only on top of the custom-priced Mighty Pro plan, not something Mighty Pro includes automatically.
It's built for creators and companies who want to charge members for access rather than run a free forum. Courses, challenges, and events sit next to regular posts and chat, so you can sell a cohort-based course and run ongoing community discussion in the same space.
The pricing model layers a monthly platform fee on top of a transaction fee on whatever you charge members, which is different from most competitors that charge one or the other.

Who it's for
- ✓ Course creators who want community, courses, and events in a single paid product
- ✓ Hosts who plan to launch a branded mobile app and can budget for Mighty Pro plus its separate branded-app add-on
- ✓ Businesses charging a real subscription price that can absorb a 1-2% transaction fee
Who should look elsewhere
- ✗ Solo creators just starting out with no team to manage the platform
- ✗ Anyone who needs a genuinely free plan to test with a small group before charging
Pros
- + Courses, events, and community feed all live in one product, so you're not stitching together three tools
- + Unlimited multi-feature Spaces are now included on every plan
- + 14-day trial with no credit card needed
Cons
- – No free plan; you commit to at least $95/month billed month-to-month ($79/month if you prepay annually) before you take your first payment
- – Transaction fees apply on every plan, including the custom-priced Mighty Pro tier
- – Support is chatbot-first; several reviewers report no path to a human without an escalation
- – The cheaper Community plan was discontinued, so switching from an older account can mean a real price jump
- – Mighty Pro's custom price doesn't include a branded mobile app either; Custom Branded Apps is a separate paid add-on on top of it
Mighty Networks pricing
What you pay for
You pay a flat monthly platform fee that drops by about 2 months' worth per year if you prepay annually, plus a transaction fee on anything you sell through the platform. Launch and Scale are priced; Mighty Pro, the top custom tier, is quote-only, and even Mighty Pro doesn't include branded mobile apps by default, those are a separate paid add-on.
At about $95/month to start, it sits mid-pack on price in Community Platforms.
| Plan | Price | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Launch | $95/mo | Courses, events, badges and tags · Gamification and basic automations · 200 GB storage · 20 streaming hours a month, 100 viewers per stream · 2% transaction fee on top of payment processor fees |
| Scale | $215/mo | Everything in Launch, plus more Space features · Automated polls, Kit integration · Charge for events, intermediate automations · Limited API access (5,000 requests/month) · 500 GB storage, 30 streaming hours, 200 viewers per stream · 1% transaction fee |
| Mighty Pro | Custom | Everything in Scale, plus member video upload, enhanced gamification, extra landing pages, extra API requests, and advanced automations · Migration, launch support, priority support, and growth workshops included · Custom branded iOS/Android apps are a separate paid add-on, not included by default · 4 TB storage, custom API access · 0.5% transaction fee |
Launch is $95/month billed month-to-month, or $79/month ($950/year) if you prepay annually, about 2 months free. Scale is $215/month billed month-to-month, or $179/month ($2,150/year) annually, the same 2-months-free framing, confirmed on Mighty Networks' own Scale plan page. Mighty Pro is quote-only, you have to book a demo to get a number, and Mighty Pro's base price doesn't automatically include branded iOS/Android apps: on the live pricing page, Custom Branded Apps is listed under a separate 'optional add-ons' section on top of the Mighty Pro plan. Every plan, including Mighty Pro, also carries a transaction fee (2% on Launch, 1% on Scale, 0.5% on Pro) on top of your payment processor's cut. Mighty Networks retired a cheaper $49/month Community plan in a 2025 restructuring that cut a four-tier lineup down to the current three tiers, which is why some older reviews quote lower entry prices than what's on the site now.
