I've been part of the membership for 3 years, and always find it easier to navigate than other membership's platforms. Impressive!! Pros Amazing platform for hosting a course community. I've been on the student side only. Intuitive to navigate and looks like a very powerful program. There are multiple layers within the membership I'm part of, and I find them all clear to understand and interact with. Payment notifications have been clear and upfront. Events easy to add to my calendar. Cons I just wish that upon rsvp'ing to attend an event, that it could be AUTOMATICALLY added to my calendar. I have to remember to select the add, and sometimes I forget. Review Source TW Tim W. President Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Might Networks helps take our customer engagement to the next level" December 4, 2024 5.0 Mighty Networks was an excellent find. I looked at other solutions (demos, trials) and once I started a trial of Mighty Networks, I knew I had found the right solution for my company. For the feature set, it has a great price point. Pros I found Mighty Networks to have a great balance of ease of use with more advanced features. The aesthetics (UI, fonts) are excellent and really standout. I was able to build a community portal with my own brand colors quickly and easily. I like the ability to easily create different types of collections (lessons, content, chat, etc.). Cons So far, I have not found any features that I would mark as a con. Alternatives considered [Circle](https://www.capterra.com/p/10002260/Circle/)[Higher Logic Vanilla](https://www.capterra.com/p/141384/Vanilla/) Reason for choosing Mighty Networks Mighty Networks had a lot of great features like Higher Logic at the price point of Circle.so Switched from [Supportbench](https://www.capterra.com/p/155934/Supportbench/) We needed a way to not only display our user guides but enable a community forum for discussion and networking. Review Source EH Eleanor H. ED E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Disappointing customer service experience / Do not recommend" September 13, 2025 1.0 At this point, negative. I do not understand why they cannot afford more grace and understanding to a customer of many years. Our organization is very low on revenue right now (these are hard times all around!) and Mighty Networks refuses to refund the $275 charge that just hit our account for an annual subscription that we will not use. Pros It was the only platform of its kind several years ago, and allowed us to move our participant online forum off of FB groups and into something more private. It is also a pretty cheap option. Cons The platform is cluttered and difficult to use. I also just had an experience with customer support that was very disappointing. After using Mighty Networks for several years, this past year we moved to circle.so and (apparently) forgot to cancel our MN subscription. The annual fee hit just a few days ago ... but reaching out to support (email only) there is ZERO flexibility or understanding. They refuse to offer any grace, and we are stuck with an annual fee for a product we are no longer using. I find this to be frustrating, and just bad business. Review Source PE Pius E. Founder Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Mighty Networks" April 20, 2022 4.0 Mighty Networks helped me help my customers. I was able to build a community around my business where customers help each other and we help them altogether. This kind of gave my business the superpower of having all the answers for my users because of all the content the members were contributing to the platform. Pros The overall simplicity of the platform in both building one and maintaining functionality. Even as a newcomer to the platform, you can build an extremely advanced community with memberships and courses, because Mighty Networks guides you through the whole process. One other thing I really like is Mighty Networks' commitment to getting your communications to your community members. You are equipped with notification tools, a website, and a mobile app for you to reach your members wherever they are. Cons My major problem with Mighty Networks came when I wanted to integrate its tools with third-party software using Zapier. Mighty Networks' integration with Zapier is not rich enough. For my use case, it did not allow me to send information from my network to another service I was using. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[Bettermode](https://www.capterra.com/p/178753/Bettermode/) Reason for choosing Mighty Networks Overall it covered most of what I needed in my community, and it also offered a mobile app for better community access. Review Source Response from Mighty Networks April 26, 2022 More Zapier triggers/actions coming soon! JT Jeff T. founder E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mighty Networks for Community Empowered Learning Experiences" December 28, 2019 4.0 I have been using Mighty Networks for a little over two years now and it has been great to see the platform develop and grow. The people at Mighty Networks are fantastic and their availability, feedback, and knowledge have fundamentally and positively altered how I am approaching my business and how I teach. Community empowered education is the future of online learning and Mighty Networks is a fantastic starting point for those interested in designing free or paid collaborative learning experiences. Pros The power of MN lies in its core focus on community design and engagement. It is easy to get started, produce content and engage with members in various contexts. The community surrounding the software and the support from the people at Mighty Networks is incredibly strong and transcends the use of the software. They are supportive not just in using the software but also in designing meaningful and successful digital communities. Cons As with any third-party platform, there are substantive limitations to the customization and design options available to hosts. There is no "getting under the hood" to tweak usability, SEO, functionality, default member settings, member communications, landing page design, etc. The course design options within the network are solid but lack many features of comparable offerings like Teachable and Thinkific. The strength of the course options lay in its community-first approach to learning experiences but if you require detailed student tracking, dedicated project spaces, integrated feedback options, etc. other LMS options would be a better fit. Alternatives considered [Teachable](https://www.capterra.com/p/147019/Teachable/)[Thinkific](https://www.capterra.com/p/132888/Thinkific/) Reason for choosing Mighty Networks The community building options, as well as the potential for student collaboration, is much much stronger within Mighty Networks. My long term strategic goals align more with a community first, content follows approach to creative education and mighty networks core values and approach are a solid fit. Switched from [Rainmaker Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/198198/Rainmaker-Platform/) The community building and design options within the platform were severely limited and dated (a forum) at the time. Review Source Response from Mighty Networks January 3, 2020 We really appreciate this thoughtful review Jeff and are honored to hear that our approach to community design has impacted your own teaching. CL Cathy L. Co Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great alternative to standard social media options!!" July 27, 2021 4.0 Launching our Mighty Network was a game changer for our nonprofit. We have been able to expand into the online space and reach a much broader audience. We are also building true community in our Premium subscription network, as well as being able to mentor and train others in what we do. Overall it's been a great option for our nonprofit. Pros I love that Mighty Networks is its own network and free of all the other social media platforms. I also love the combination with content in the context of community. Community is one of our highest values. I also appreciate the convenience of the app. Cons One big con is that there is no way to do live videos. Would really like this feature to be added. Also, navigation is a little cumbersome and confusing for new members. I have made my own tutorials for our network to try and help make the learning curve more manageable. One of the biggest user complaints is "I don't know how to find things..." I spend a lot of time helping our members troubleshoot. The IOS app limitation for purchasing plans is also confusing - although I do appreciate that I don't have to sell on IOS.

Review Source SC Susan C. Co-Host Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Terrific for Creators and Community" July 9, 2021 5.0 Our goal was to create a global community committed to leadership and career development. One where privacy was assured and time zones could be easily spanned. The option of delivering courses in various formats along with posting content and other events makes MN the perfect platform for reaching our goal. Pros Mighty Network (MN) is an extremely robust platform for creating and nurturing a community of people with shared interests and a focus on transformation of some kind. It offers a wide range of options and a terrific support team of MN employees and other users. The design is values-driven and the MN team are constantly enhancing it for ease of use and functionality. Cons The wide ranging options made start-up a bit complicated, but that was handled well by the support team, the Community Design course and the generous comments of other users. Alternatives considered [Meta for Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/213257/Facebook/) Reason for choosing Mighty Networks Facebook is just plain evil. The disinformation rife in the platform and the unethical sharing of information meant we had to look elsewhere. We love that fact that with MN we own the data and it can't be shared by MN. A generic website or blog were too limited in what they offered and would have required multiple add-ons in order to offer events and courses. Review Source JA Jessica A. Owner/Instructor Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Mighty Networks is fantastic for e-schools" July 22, 2021 5.0 I started out with a free membership, and jumped into the paid version after my LMS system was hacked on my Wordpress site. I love the security that comes with Mighty Networks! I have evolved and grown with my Mighty Network and experimented with features with my community, and I appreciate the flexibility of Mighty Networks. I'm in for life! Pros I love the intimate community and intuitive layout of Mighty Networks. It evolves with your community or school curriculum. Cons I REALLY wish I could make an album/gallery and that my student could too. It would be SO much easier for them to share their artwork and see thumbnail views at a glance. I've worked around it and students make articles instead and add photos. But many of my students have asked for an album feature or the ability to post multiple pictures to a post. Switched from [LifterLMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/194458/LifterLMS/) My previous wordpress website got spammed, Mighty Networks feels secure! Review Source Wayne H. Founder Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Perfect for running my online mastermind community" July 11, 2021 5.0 Pros Mighty Networks is great because it just makes sense for building online communities OUTSIDE of facebook or LinkedIn etc. Cons I do not have anything I like the least... Mighty offers an online community for me to interact with other community builders and employees of Mighty Networks. They truly answer all questions and teach me a lot. Switched from [Kajabi](https://www.capterra.com/p/154682/Kajabi/) Because Kajabi is good for courses but their community feature is poor. Review Source Ani P. Pain relief specialist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Build Your Community With Ease" October 30, 2021 5.0 Very positive, they have good educational weekly programs that will help you in your journey to build your community. Pros How you can build a community, individual groups, paid or free, create courses all in one platform. Cons How their payment system was set up. I also couldn't setup an affiliate program for my course. Alternatives considered [Kajabi](https://www.capterra.com/p/154682/Kajabi/) Reason for choosing Mighty Networks At the time the price was very compatible with similar products, also a friend was using and she recommended. Switched from [Teachable](https://www.capterra.com/p/147019/Teachable/) I wanted to have a place where I can not only build online courses but also build a community. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Consutant Computer Hardware Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great application for building a community or network" January 20, 2025 5.0 Overall, its an application that I would suggest to someone looking to build community and grow their own network without using some of the major social media platforms. Pros The Ease of use with this application is great. I was able to build an online community quite easily. Cons Some features were a little comfusing and took longer to understand but once I learned those features, it was a breeze to implement. Review Source CL Cindi L. Training Program Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Community Hosting Platform" July 9, 2021 5.0 I am using Mighty Networks to host an online software and hardware training community for my company's products. I provide both general and custom assistance with "how do I" and "what is" software questions that are not in tech support's wheelhouse and I offer tips and techniques based on user questions and needs. Answers fellow users provide to help each other are vetted for accuracy and modified if needed. We are gradually weaning people away from clogging up tech support phone lines with issues based on operator ignorance. Thus far only 2% of our users are taking advantage of this service, so there's a lot of growth to come. Pros 1\. Mobility: Mighty Networks ability to enable me to create a community website with paid options that could be easily accessed on a computer, tablet or phone, without me having to have extensive staff or knowledge to produce different versions of content. 2. Reliability: The software doesn't fail. I haven't had any worries about my users being able to access content or the community. 3. Support: Mighty Networks' staff has been very responsive and helpful. When I have a problem, if the answer isn't on their helpdesk, I get a return message/email within 24 hours and they walk me through the solution. 4. Growth: I like that they have a roadmap and that they continue to expand their capabilities and give users heads up when they're coming and what they're doing so that we know what to expect and whether it will benefit or impact the services we offer through the gateway of Mighty Networks. FYI, adding the automated tax solution for transactions was HUGE. I look forward to the "Spaces" innovation that is coming soon. Cons The biggest con for me is the lack of customer/user management features. I am not notified the instant someone cancels; in fact,. it's rare that I'm notified at all. I have to run daily reports and compare them to my existing database of members, to ensure I've welcomed everyone new, see who's been retained and who chose to leave. I can't just look at a settings file online and get a customer database and status report based on the individuals. It's a little frustrating how many outside products/apps I need to subscribe to, learn, master and keep "up" on, etc. to be able to do everything I need to do to serve my community and make it worth paying for. There's Stripe and the tax software, I can't live without Typeform to be able to steer my users to the appropriate purchase price, and I need YouTube or Vimeo to host videos, and Zoom for meetings and webinars (used to use Crowdcast Pro, have since let that go).

It is nice to have a group solely focused on the subject at hand. Mighty Networks allows information to be shared between community members. Pros I like that it is a way to connect with people in a group I am in. People can post and share ideas as well as comment. It is relatively easy to see what has been posted and to follow the discussion. Cons I don't find the interface to be the most easy to use. I was in another group on another app and it seemed easier to navigate than this. However, it is easy enough to use. I just don't find myself using it as much as I used the other app when I was in the other group. Review Source AJ Amy J. Values & Idea Integrator Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I love Mighty Networks" May 4, 2023 5.0 Mighty Networks offers resources that support my growth as a business owner to thrive in this ever-changing world. I sought MN out because I wanted an alternative to FB, and I'm so grateful I did. I received far more than another option - I discovered a new way of showing up and growing my business, serving my clients and members - and, most importantly, making it fun! Mighty inspires me to up-level my business and think differently about how a community can support my business. Pros Mighty Networks is amazing! Not only do I like the cultural software, but the support of the whole MN team and their standout guides is better than anything else out there. Adding spaces has been a game changer for the organization of my community. And I really like the other hosts who are on MN. Hands down it's the best out there. Cons Sometimes it can be difficult to navigate through the new tech, but they have incredible host support that whenever I've had a problem, it's been resolved and that is the most important thing. Review Source SS Saskia S. Empowerment Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The Best Community Software " July 20, 2021 5.0 Pros When I started my online community, I didn't want to rely on Facebook and I also wanted software that would allow me to share pre-recorded workshops etc. Mighty Networks really is the best of both worlds. If you include topics you can easily build a resource database for your members AND you have a social media feed where members can interact with each other. It's super easy to use, much cheaper than Kajabi and the likes (which imo don't really work for a membership anyways) and the customer service is the best. Cons Here are some smaller adjustments that I'd like to see in the future: - option to choose more than one topic for an article - embedment of audio, instead of file sharing - migrate members from monthly to annual plans - plans in NZD - more options to adjust the landing page - free trial period for members without having to put in credit card details (and allow members to use the whole trial period even if they cancel earlier) Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/)[Kajabi](https://www.capterra.com/p/154682/Kajabi/) Reason for choosing Mighty Networks \- ease of use - price - social media aspect Review Source TB Tango B. Director Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MN intuitively understands what people desire in a social network" July 27, 2021 5.0 Overall, this software has been a game changer. No one I’ve ever recommended it to has passed on it. Mighty Networks is the secret garden between, say, Facebook and Discord. Pros So many features and so cleanly organized! New members are automatically led through an onboarding process, which frees my team up for more creative engagement work. And on the Host end, there’s also a walkthrough process. So overall, I love the intuitive design of this software. Cons Since launching my MN in April 2019, my biggest critique to date is the lack of a hashtag feature — or at the least, the option to tag a post with multiple topics. Probably 80-90% of the questions or complaints I receive are about this lack. Review Source HH Holly H. CEO Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Better Than Slack or Facebook " October 15, 2021 5.0 Pros Love the network app. It's such a decent place to actually network with people and not have so much distracting noise around you like Facebook and Slack. I couldn't recommend more. Cons Signing in is a hassle when trying to join a network. It really sucks having to keep having to log in although you're already in the network. Reason for choosing Mighty Networks I actually wanted to network for real with professionals Switched from [Slack](https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/)[Meta for Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/213257/Facebook/) Too much distractions Review Source MY Mohammed Y.

I recommend using " June 25, 2023 5.0 A wonderful application and contains many features that I loved and recommend to everyone to use it. Pros Management and access to everything is very easy, and more than one operation is accomplished in a short time Cons There are a lot of advantages and nothing happened that bothered me or was negative Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lacking accessibilty " May 19, 2022 4.0 Pros community members experience a fairly simple learning curve Cons Lacking in accessibility features for vision impaired people. Does not play well with popular programs for vision impaired people. Review Source AL Anatashia L. Community Manager Facilities Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Mighty Networks - The Platform You Need to Grow Your Membership" July 27, 2021 4.0 Pros The homepage is easy accessible and highlights the top posts that are important to our members. I like having the option to do polls and embed links. The analytics are very helpful. Cons I would like to have the option to delete a DM message. The polls only allow a certain amount of characters. The profile pages lack a sense of who you're accessing/you don't get a real sense of the person. Adding an option to incl. more photos and videos for profiles would be ideal. Also, seeing a person's activity w/o having to click on the option. Review Source DJ Deidre J. Founding Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Idea" May 14, 2024 4.0 Initially it was great. Now, it serves more like an upgraded blog for all of my previous content. Pros In the beginning, Mighty Networks was GREAT for building a "Facebook" like community and more. The set up allowed more people to be engaged in general content and to participate with one another. Cons They changed their structure, making members and content specific to rooms or spaces and that instantly limited my overall, general engagement and the ability market and encourage users to move into paid spaces. Review Source LP Lisa P. Running Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Love this platform!" December 24, 2019 5.0 I've loved everything about it so far. Very user friendly, I love all the options I have within the platform (I use the highest level plan) from having different groups to the courses I can create. I have barely tapped into everything I want to do with it. From the CEO to staff, everyone has been so helpful in engaging and responding to questions. Absolutely loved the Masterclass they offered as well! Pros I love how easy it is to use and all the engagement I can get out of it without any other distractions. I love the Masterclass which really helped me learn so much more about it. Cons I love a lot about it but there are some functionalities missing. I am impressed with how they respond to requests and how open they are about what they can and can't do and what items are priorities. Review Source Response from Mighty Networks January 3, 2020 Thank you Lisa! We love hearing that you find your Mighty Network easy to use and distraction-free. We appreciate you highlighting your experience in our Community Design Masterclass too! KA Katie A. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Depends on what you use it for" July 27, 2021 4.0 Eh. It's pretty limited. Pros The newsfeed style is great and our audience likes it since it feels like Facebook. The login is also easy. Cons The "plans" and pay gates are a mess. You can't delete a plan once you've created it and the structure/permissions are confusing at best. There's also a severe limit on indexing content you upload. You can only tag things once, so if you're organizing content by topic you have to upload multiple times to have it appear under different tags. Pretty shortsighted in that regard.

MN team support/responsiveness and Mighty-Hosts community are real game changers. As users we feel/are connected and supported. Pros It is mostly intuitive and easy to use, navigate, get to know. The same ease-of-use is experienced by most new community members - and this IS our member experience priority! Cons Limited options for 3rd party payment platforms. "STRIPE or nothing" is no choice. Reason for choosing Mighty Networks The ability in 1 platform for membership, community, events, programs/courses, product sales, sub groups and communications. And the community design masterclass as an aid to getting started. Review Source Response from Mighty Networks July 7, 2020 Thanks for the specific feedback Scott! Darryl D.

Pros It is a good alternative to big social media platforms. It allows a lot of features that encourage participation. Cons We used it as a course platform, and felt a bit frustrated that we couldn't control some of the features. Review Source Response from Mighty Networks April 13, 2020 Thanks for the feedback Darryl!
