“Members actually come back, which is the whole game”
Used daily for 1–2 years
We ran a community on a cheaper tool for a year and it died quietly. Same members, same content, moved to Circle, and participation tripled. The difference is that people get pulled back by digests and push rather than having to remember.
Pros
Notifications are the underrated feature. Live events and courses in one place removed two subscriptions.
Cons
The 4% fee on Basic cost us more than the Professional upgrade would have.
Problems it solves
Turned a dormant community into one with daily activity.
