Why is Mighty Networks unique?
Mighty Network lets me create a separate online community for each course, instead of just one big social network for all my courses like most other platforms do. This is way better because it means my students can get more personalized help and support from me and other learners.
Mighty Networks pricing
The Community plan costs $39 monthly.
With this plan, I can build a community with live streaming, chat, and membership. This plan also supports a custom domain, unlimited hosts and moderators, plus polls and questions.
The Business plan provides additional features for coaching and hosting courses. I can also integrate Zapier and Google Analytics. It costs $99 monthly.
If I require a more scalable solution, the platform offers a custom plan that I can select.
Feature 1: User experience of course builder
I tried out Mighty Networks for free for 14 days. I didn’t even have to give them my credit card details.
The onboarding was straightforward, fun, and interactive. My network was up and running in no time. The dashboard was beginner-friendly and uncluttered. It allowed me to create quick posts, articles, questions, and polls and even host live sessions.
However, creating courses was not as straightforward as I had imagined given its smooth onboarding. I had to create a Space first, which was easy. And, the AI feature made it a breeze to create the course outline.
But I couldn’t use AI to create the lessons. I have to do that manually. So if you need help outlining your course consider Mighty Networks.
Feature 2: Learner engagement tools
I can add quizzes at the end of each lesson, enabling learners to assess their proficiency on the course topics.
Besides this, you can create quick posts, articles, polls, and questions. You can also schedule a Zoom meeting and even restrict who can join. These features provide additional ways for students to actively participate in their learning experience.
Feature 3: Marketing and payment features
Marketing and payment features within this platform are limited.
Looks like I can only offer paid memberships and bundles, and it only supports Stripe.
But since it’s self-hosted, I can market my network however I want, without relying on the platform’s native capabilities. And Mighty Networks supports Zapier integrations, so connecting it to third-party marketing apps will not be an issue
Feature 4: Scalability
Scaling on this platform shouldn’t be a problem.
The tiered pricing means I can always upgrade my plan as my business grows, without having to worry about any downtime. I also love that the two paid plans support unlimited hosts and moderators, members, and spaces. So, no matter how big my business gets, this platform can keep up.
Feature 5: Affordability
Mighty Network has a fair pricing.
I think $39 monthly for the starter plan is a bargain. I can create unlimited spaces and add as many hosts and moderators as I want, and it can also support unlimited members.
Also, $99 monthly for the ultimate plan is not bad. I get unlimited courses and Zapier integrations, which is pretty reasonable.
Feature 6: Unique features
Anyone can create events and restrict who can join.
I created a member account to try out how it works for them and I was surprised to learn they can even host a live video, webinars, and meetings. They can even host a text chat event for all members of the community.
Creating events is easy, so members won’t have any trouble figuring it out.
