The professional community platform

Build your next community with us.

An invite-only workspace for professional educators: creator-managed communities, tier-gated spaces, and an honest assisted migration plan.

Migrate from Skool →Start from scratch

The Founding 100 — a hundred migrations, done personally. Applications open.

Presence, typing, live sessions — liveness is built into the fabric.

A transparent starting point

Payment, country, and feature availability are confirmed before each launch.

“How I set pricing tiers for my cohort”

Moved the certificate track behind the core tier and kept the free funnel open — conversion receipts inside.

The algorithm-free feed: an upvote lands with a spring + ring burst — motion as a receipt for a human act.

03 · The operational core

Run the whole operation.

Tiers, member admission, spaces, invitations, and the chronological ledger are already the narrow, working core for design partners.

Tier gating lives in the nav — locked spaces stay visible. Aspiration is a growth mechanic; the lock row is the upsell. Free funnel in front, core membership in the middle, inner-circle behind the gate — one community, three tiers, no second $99 subscription.

Leaving is the product.

A documented, assisted cutover — no promises beyond what your export and payment setup support.

  1. step_01

    Map your permitted export

    We review what your current platform can export, map it to community.io, and document every gap before anything moves.

  2. step_02

    Rebuild and verify

    We rebuild the community structure, tiers, and permitted content with you in an invite-only workspace.

  3. step_03

    Choose the cutover

    You approve the member communication, billing transition, and launch date. Nothing changes until the checklist is complete.

The anti-lock-in pledge

Read the pledge
Porter carries a migration package.

Porter carries your history out the door with you.

Porter is community.io's mascot and the face of every migration we run. When you leave — whether that's from Skool or from us — your streaks, levels, and post history are packed up in an assisted, documented export. Nothing about leaving should feel like losing your community's history.
