Mighty Networks for memberships
A community platform with courses, events, and a route to fully branded mobile apps, aimed at creators building a named community brand.
What Mighty Networks is
Mighty Networks is a hosted community platform that bundles discussion spaces, courses, events, and paid memberships, with an upgrade path to iOS and Android apps published under your own developer account.
Who it’s best for
Creators who think of what they are building as a named community with its own identity, and who can see themselves wanting a branded app within a year or two.
- Creators building a named community brand rather than a forum
- Memberships that expect to want their own app eventually
- Communities mixing courses, events, and discussion
Who should avoid it
Course businesses on a budget, since native video upload is not on the entry plan, and anyone whose product is written or audio rather than social.
- Course-heavy businesses that need native video on a starter plan
- Newsletter and podcast memberships
- Anyone on a tight monthly budget
Membership models it supports
Not every platform suits every kind of membership. These are the models we consider it a genuine option for.
- Paid community
- Course and community
- Coaching or group program
- Branded mobile app community
- Migrating an existing membership

Important limitations
- The $79 Launch plan cannot host course video natively, which surprises people who buy it for courses.
- Livestreaming has monthly hour and concurrent-viewer caps on every published plan.
- Branded apps and native video both sit behind unpublished Mighty Pro pricing.
Data ownership and migration
Payments run through your own Stripe account and member data exports. Mighty Pro includes hands-on migration help, but that tier does not publish a price.
