## Reviews

### "Circle makes my community magic happened \!" — 5.0/5

> **Boris** | *10 December 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Circle is intuitive and super easy to onboard, guiding you from your domain setup until your community engagement definition like no other.
If it's a generalist community HUB, everything you need is in :

\> Versatile community spaces
\> Training \& course
\> Live streaming events
\> Custom branding
\> Monetization
\> Advanced analytics

The incredible pace of improvement and update make Circle the only reasonable choice if you have to start your community \!
> 
> **Cons**: Price may be a barrier you need to secure but Circle monetization tools can help you to be also the solution \!
> 
> When I started, I felt a bit shy about the platform administration dimension :

Everything was personalisable and a lot to learn.

Hopefully, the onboarding experience was so great that everything was in order to start in less than a week \!

### "Great Community Building" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *22 March 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: A great way to create and connect with community, network and share resources and information. So much better than using other social media.
> 
> **Cons**: It can become challenging to switch between various communities. While intuitive, there is a learning curve as well.
> 
> It is great to interact with communities and a bit expensive with a learning curve to create courses.

### "Circle can give you all the tools you need to start a community business, but you have to invest some money upfront." — 4.0/5

> **Francesco** | *4 February 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Circle is a valid option if you are going to build a community, it has a lot of features, easy monetization and rapid customer support when needed (and trust me, if you want to build a community you want to have a good support) but this is true if you have a minimum of money to invest
> 
> **Cons**: Circle major problem imho is related to the fact that there is not an cheap entry plan if you want to test your idea out before committing to more (like a free or budget friendly option). It has a quite steep entry price, and  generally speaking a community needs month to start. Therefore you have to keep some money ready to use if you want to make it profitable.
> 
> I've tried to test it out for a few month. It is indeed good, but since I didn't have too much money to invest on it in the beginning I moved on to more budget friendly options

### "Circle is fabulous for nurturing a community and adding coursework." — 5.0/5

> **Jessica** | *8 May 2025* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Circle makes it EXTREMELY easy to manage a course and community. I was able to upload both written and audio versions of a 70 lesson course, and track which of my clients have read it, as well as interact with them in post format on a daily basis. I genuinely love this platform and will be using it for a long time.
> 
> **Cons**: I had a tiny bit of trouble using the live meeting function on circle, but when I changed to a zoom integration the issue was solved :)
> 
> When I created a course for ADHD adults, I wanted to be able to offer a community space and group coaching for those who used it. Circle perfectly fit the bill.

### "Amazing community builder with powerful features" — 5.0/5

> **Mathew** | *4 January 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's really easy to use, it has loads of excellent features that I find really valuable for my specific use case, and even though it can seem a bit pricey at first to start with if you're doing a startup the cost is really great for what you get and it has monetization tools to let you make income with your community quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: There's nothing I really dislike about Circle, however I did find some tasks a little repetitive with setting up my community like having to manually set certain settings for each individual space instead of just being able to copy them into all of the spaces I want to at once.
> 
> My experience with Circle has been nothing short of excellent. I used the platform years ago and then stopped due to no longer needing it and now I'm back to using it again and I couldn't be happier. It has every feature I could possibly need, the team seems great, they ship features regularly, and I feel at ease knowing that my community will just work with no issues.
