Mighty Networks

Build Your Community With Ease

Comments: Very positive, they have good educational weekly programs that will help you in your journey to build your community.

Pros:

How you can build a community, individual groups, paid or free, create courses all in one platform.

Cons:

How their payment system was set up. I also couldn't setup an affiliate program for my course.

Alternatives Considered: Kajabi

Reasons for Choosing Mighty Networks: I wanted to have a place where I can not only build online courses but also build a community.

Switched From: Teachable

Reasons for Switching to Mighty Networks: At the time the price was very compatible with similar products, also a friend was using and she recommended.

Terrific for Creators and Community

Comments: Our goal was to create a global community committed to leadership and career development. One where privacy was assured and time zones could be easily spanned. The option of delivering courses in various formats along with posting content and other events makes MN the perfect platform for reaching our goal.

Pros:

Mighty Network (MN) is an extremely robust platform for creating and nurturing a community of people with shared interests and a focus on transformation of some kind. It offers a wide range of options and a terrific support team of MN employees and other users. The design is values-driven and the MN team are constantly enhancing it for ease of use and functionality.

Cons:

The wide ranging options made start-up a bit complicated, but that was handled well by the support team, the Community Design course and the generous comments of other users.

Alternatives Considered: Meta for Business

Reasons for Switching to Mighty Networks: Facebook is just plain evil. The disinformation rife in the platform and the unethical sharing of information meant we had to look elsewhere. We love that fact that with MN we own the data and it can't be shared by MN. A generic website or blog were too limited in what they offered and would have required multiple add-ons in order to offer events and courses.

Lots of potential here, but I've ultimately gone with something else.

Comments: Overall this platform has potential, but there were too many issues, too many downsides, and too many complaints from my customers to keep it. I'm now testing out other platforms that have courses and community integrated and will see how it all goes.

Pros:

- community directly linked to the courses - one off courses as well as membership tiers available - events and links to Zoom - mobile app

Cons:

- video and audio playback is buggy - community chat is also buggy and doesn't always update and requires a manual refresh - users said the Ux Interface was hard to navigate and they couldn't always find what they were looking for. - they ALSO charge a transaction fee on top of the monthly subscription fee for the platform

Haven't regret the move for one second

Pros:

In a matter of weeks we were ready to launch our new community with several existing online courses moved over. Producing content is very easy. To get everything in one was very valuable for us - course platform with payed or free courses, enrolment and drip feed as well as a community platform with the ability to interact with other members. Available as apple and android app, our members can all of the sudden access their courses from their phone, without us having to develop and maintain two apps ourselves. Huge.

Cons:

There are still features that we are hoping will get there. Like more drip feed settings and the ability to give a member access to a whole course at once even if it's drip fed to mention two. But we have made it work with existing features and the value largely overcomes some details we hope will be available in the future.

Alternatives Considered: Teachable, Kajabi and accessally

Reasons for Choosing Mighty Networks: We wanted community features and easier to create course content.

Switched From: aMember Pro

Reasons for Switching to Mighty Networks: Everything in one. Know-how from the Mighty Network team on running communities. Less work with setting up and configuring the platform. Our users can access their practices in an app!

The Key To Our Success!

Comments: It works great! Fluid, functional, and reliable!

Pros:

MN is the product that enabled us to do what we were good at doing, at scale! The team behind MN wanted and fought for our success to make community coaching at scale feasible, exciting, and affordable. If you are a coach or community builder there is no better first party platform than Mighty Networks!

Cons:

They were a little slow at getting some features off the ground but the wait was worth it!

Alternatives Considered: Podia

Reasons for Choosing Mighty Networks: Slack was too text heavy for our audience.

Switched From: Slack

Reasons for Switching to Mighty Networks: Podia is solid alternative but the native app and development were far superior (and more glossy) inside of MN!
