Circle Community Platform vs. Website Toolbox

Circle offers all the main functionalities that are needed to build a Community from scratch. It is very easy to set up even for someone like me with ZERO technical skills. I really enjoy managing the Community on Circle as it is very intuitive and smooth and doesn't require a lot of time to learn of to work around it

Website Toolbox is a huge improvement over self-hosted forums. It attempts to host forums that failed over the effort required to keep these free of spam.

• Community Engagement, connection and communication
• Courses
• Payments
• Channels/Spaces to specific topics and conversations

Support is rarely needed. When needed, they are friendly and fast to understand and address the problem.

It was the easiest to set up and it was suggested by a lot of people as the best one for my needs! I have zero previous experience about building a community so I tried to listen to suggestions of ppl with more experience than myself. So far it has been a good choice

• $500 a month, instead of needing several different platforms to do the things I need, Circle does most of them.
