Configurable gamification that the community turns on or off. Eleven actions earn points — posting, liking, commenting, replying to a comment, getting a like, creating an event, attending an event, creating a course, enrolling, completing a lesson and logging in every day — and you set how many points each one is worth, or turn off the ones that don’t make sense. The leaderboard adds up per community and also per section, so the yardstick can be the whole house or a single class. Badges have a name, description, icon and color, and stay on the profile of whoever earned them.
A large, quiet community
Replying is worth more than liking, and getting a like is worth something. Within a few weeks the leaderboard stops belonging to the founders and starts showing who answers newcomers’ questions — exactly who you want to reward, and who usually leaves without anyone noticing.
Against the rest of the market. None of the creator-economy platforms we compared has real gamification. The closest reference is enterprise community software, in a price range that is a different conversation.
Like every space, this one is public, members only or subscribers only — the choice is per space, and the space is the authority on what can be reached from it.
Influencers
You already have an audience, and it lives in someone else’s house. Here the feed is yours, the list of who joined is yours, and billing happens on the same page where people read, not on a checkout link that looks like another company’s and pulls people out of the conversation.

The live session is one hour a week; the rest of the time the group has nowhere to talk. Here mentoring has an address: the session is on the calendar, the group carries on in the feed, and the material you deliver stays organized instead of lost in a messaging group.
See the full caseSchools and online courses
You don’t need to change how you sell to bring your content here. The catalog — course, module and lesson — lives in the community, with a class, live sessions and conversation between students, and whoever bought comes in as a member. Students see where they stopped; teachers see who got stuck.

A subscription is a second revenue stream, not a replacement for the first. You keep selling courses and mentoring your way and charge a monthly fee for being inside: the archive, the sessions and the community. Subscribers get in on their own and those who cancel leave on their own, no spreadsheet.

Support stops answering the same question every week: the answer becomes part of the archive, with search and a fixed address. Open spaces serve as a shop window for people who aren’t customers yet; spaces per account or per plan stay closed, with who can see them set in each one.
See the full caseHR and internal communications
Announcements that don’t get lost in the scroll, onboarding that stays standing for whoever joins later, a training path with each person’s progress and a calendar of company gatherings. Distributed teams stop depending on who happened to be online.

A hackathon usually lives in a form, a spreadsheet and a group created on Friday and abandoned on Monday. Here sign-ups come in by track, the jury reviews where the submissions arrived, and what was built stays published with author and date for the next edition.
See the full caseInnovation hubs
An innovation program lives scattered across forms, spreadsheets, groups and folders. Here the call takes applications by track, the committee reviews where they arrived, and startups, mentors and sponsors share the space, each with its own visibility.
See the full caseFranchises and networks
A large network trains by meeting, and what was said at the first location arrives different at the thirtieth. Here the training is one and the same, with each franchisee’s progress in view, the manual in a searchable archive and a channel between operators that doesn’t wait for the franchisor.
See the full caseCoworking and shared spaces
What separates a coworking space from a hub is what happens between the members. The house calendar, the board of who does what, the call for the next demo day and the members’ channel live at one address, open even when nobody is in the building.
See the full caseAssociations and professional bodies
Annual dues stop being a charge with nothing visible in return: members get technical content, an events calendar and a channel between peers, all year long. Access turns on and off along with payment, with nobody tracking by hand who is up to date.
See the full caseEvents and conferences
The call opens by track, the committee reviews in the same place, the community votes, and the audience that signed up stays there after the event ends, with next year’s calendar, instead of becoming an e-mail list that goes cold until the next edition.
See the full caseOffices and corporate headquarters
Headquarters have two sides in one building: the people, with feedback, recognition and training, and the space, with rooms to book and reception for members and visitors. With both extensions, it all shares one set of records, with company announcements.

The group you run today lives in someone else’s house: no search, no archive, no way to know who is who. Here it has an address, your brand and rules for who sees what, free for as long as you want. If one day you want to charge, it’s flipping a switch, without changing addresses.
See the full caseMemberfy is in closed beta, so access is by request. Tell us what you want to build: every approved community starts with 90 days free, with no card, and we set it up with you and stay close afterward.
