What it is

A community feed, a course library and an events calendar under one roof, with points and levels for participation. Members get one app to open rather than a course site plus a chat group.

Best for

Coaches running group programmes or paid communities where engagement between calls is the product.

Watch out for

The look is fixed; you get very little control over branding. The gamification suits some audiences and feels off for others — know which yours is.
