## Reviews

### "Best Platform for building an online community (better than Skool)" — 4.0/5

> **Riya** | *February 18, 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I’d give Circle a solid 9/10. It’s one of the best platforms for building an engaged online community, with a clean interface, great customization options, and solid integrations. The best part about Circle is how organized and seamless it makes running a community. Everything—discussions, events, memberships, and courses—is in one place, so there’s no need to juggle multiple platforms. The user experience is smooth, branding is fully customizable, and engagement tools make it easy to keep members active. It’s also great that it integrates well with Zapier and other tools.
> 
> **Cons**: Circle could improve in a few areas. Automations are limited, so you need Zapier for a lot of things that should be built-in. The mobile app isn’t as smooth as desktop, and analytics could be more detailed. Pricing also jumps quickly as you scale, which can be a drawback for smaller communities
> 
> Overall, Circle has been a game-changer for running my community. Before, I was managing conversations across multiple platforms like Facebook groups, Slack, and Zoom, which was chaotic. With Circle, everything is structured and in one place, making it easier to engage members, run events, and scale the community. While there’s room for improvement, it’s still one of the best community platforms available.

### "Circle Review" — 5.0/5

> **Mark** | *November 22, 2024* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I found the Circle pretty intuitive and well supported compared to other products I've seen. We can set up a community in a matter of weeks with all the features we want from this platform.
> 
> **Cons**: There is a big price jump from the business edition to the next levels up.
> 
> Overall I was pleased with the product and the features it provided. The support response time was excellent, which aside from that, was a big part of our decision to choose Circle.

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

> **Boris** | *December 10, 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** | *March 22, 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** | *February 4, 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
