What will be your preferred stack to build and support a subscription based community? Landing + membership + forum/discussion + job board

Any resource that you know of?

plenty for marketplaces not so much for community building

    I have been doing this successfully for Micro SaaS Builders

    Here are some options you can't miss.

    Landing: Dorik/Carrd
    Newsletter + Membership: Substack, BeeHiiv
    Community + Membership : Circle, Skool
    Job Board : Softr, Flezr

      Thanks a lot! this is helpful

      • Circle, Skool seem a bit pricey to just get started. Looking a Discord but I'm afraid it could be quite noisy for my audience.

      Thanks, we'll share when ready

    My recommendation:

    • For your marketing site and to "base" your forum in, use Webflow
    • To power your forum, use circle.so and embed it into your Webflow site
    • For your memberships/payments/authentication, use Memberstack

    You can also have your forum held separately on a subdomain and not embed it into your Webflow site, because of SSO users would share the same login - that being said, it's nice to embed it since you could have a fully custom sign in/up flow, plus it would stay on your domain instead of needing a subdomain.
    Best of luck!!!
