The problem
You've tried the others.
Here's why they didn't work.
Discord
Chaotic UX. Zero monetization. Your brand gets buried under Discord's purple UI.
Circle
White-label costs $30K/year. No gamification. No real-time chat. It's a glorified forum.
Skool
No custom domain. No white-label. No API. Your community looks like everyone else's.
Mighty Networks
Slow, bloated, confusing. Members complain about the UX. White-label on Pro only.
Features
One platform.
Zero compromises.
Everything you need to build, engage, and monetize your community.
Real-Time Messaging
Channels, threads, DMs, reactions, typing indicators. Discord-quality chat that members actually want to use.
Gamification Engine
XP, levels, badges, streaks, challenges, leaderboards. Members don't just join — they compete, earn, and stay.
AI Community Agent
Answers questions from your knowledge base. Auto-moderates. Generates digests. Works 24/7.
Built-in LMS
Video courses, quizzes, certificates, progress tracking. No Teachable needed — it's all inside.
Full White-Label
Your brand, your domain, your colors. Not a single mention of Bonfire. Members think you built it.
Churn Prediction
Engagement metrics, revenue tracking, member health scores. See who's about to leave before they do.

FAQ
Questions? Answers.
How is Bonfire different from Circle or Skool?
Bonfire combines Discord-quality real-time chat, advanced gamification (XP, badges, challenges), AI assistant, and full white-label — all in one platform. Circle charges $30K/year for white-label and has no gamification. Skool has no custom domain, no API, and one layout for everyone.
Do I need technical skills?
Zero. Pick a template, customize colors and logo, invite members. Everything is visual. Most communities are live in under 5 minutes.
What does "0% transaction fees" mean?
On Growth plans and above, we don't take a cut of your revenue. You keep 100% (minus Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢). Compare that to platforms charging 3-10% on top.
Can I migrate from another platform?
Yes. We offer assisted migration from Circle, Skool, Mighty Networks, Discord, and Heartbeat. Member data, content, and courses can be imported.
Is there a free trial?
14 days, full Growth features, no credit card required. Cancel with one click.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Growth+ plans. Point your CNAME to us — SSL is automatic. On Business plans, you get full white-label: zero Bonfire branding anywhere.
