Fora
Your community deserves its own home.
I've been developing Fora for the past few months, which is a white-label community platform for creators and educators.
The frustration that motivated this project came from the community tools I saw. Your community ended up on sites like yourname.circle.so or skool.com/yourgroup. You would put in all the effort to build an audience while the platform's brand took the spotlight.
So, I created something where your community can exist on your own domain, reflect your product, and allow you to maintain full ownership. The main features include a community feed, courses with progress tracking and certificates, events, member profiles, leaderboards, and Stripe integration for paid communities, whether monthly or one-time.
The Starter plan costs $9 per month, while the Pro plan is $19 per month and includes a custom domain. Both plans come with a 14-day free trial. It's still early in this process. I would truly appreciate feedback from anyone who has tried building a paid community.
What led you to choose your current platform, and what do you wish was different?

I amdefinitely submitting this to SoftRankings. nice website BTW!
The custom-domain angle is real, but I’d be careful not to make Fora sound like “Circle/Skool but on your own domain.”
That comparison is useful for understanding, but risky for selling.
The stronger buyer probably is not just someone who wants ownership. It is someone whose paid community is part of their actual product, course, coaching offer, or education business, so the platform brand getting in the way feels costly.
Small hint: I’d make the first positioning test less about “own your community” and more about “make your paid community feel like part of your product, not a rented group.”
Happy to put the tighter paid-community angle in writing if useful.
