Why creators move their community to HuddleSpot

Teach, not just chat

Turn your expertise into courses with drip content, quizzes and certificates — right next to the discussions where your members already hang out.

Get paid directly

Sell memberships, courses and one-time purchases with Stripe-powered checkout and a 1% platform fee on every plan — no third-party plugins needed.

Own your home base

Your community lives on your own domain with your branding, and can be embedded into your website — not inside someone else’s app and algorithm.

When Discord or Facebook might still be the better fit

  • Your community is mostly real-time chat or gaming voice channels, and you are not selling courses or memberships.
  • You rely on Facebook for discovery and your members never leave the Facebook app.
Migration

Bring your members over without starting from scratch

Data migration and onboarding are part of our Enterprise plan, and our team is happy to talk through a move on any plan. Many creators keep a chat server for casual talk and move courses, paid tiers and events to HuddleSpot.

  1. 1Tell us how your server or group is organized today.
  2. 2Set up your HuddleSpot workspace with your branding, spaces and paid tiers.
  3. 3Invite your members with a link to their new home on your own domain.

Frequently asked questions

Why move a community off Discord or Facebook Groups?+

Chat servers and social groups work well for conversation, but courses, paid memberships, branded domains and website embeds are not what they were built for. HuddleSpot brings discussions, courses, events and payments together under your own brand.

Can I keep my Discord server?+

Yes. Many creators keep a chat server for casual conversation and use HuddleSpot for courses, paid memberships, events and long-form discussions.

How do paid memberships work on HuddleSpot?+

HuddleSpot payments are powered by Stripe and go to your own Stripe account. You can sell subscriptions, one-time purchases and courses on every plan, including Free, with a 1% platform fee. Growth adds several price tiers for one offering, paid event tickets and revenue analytics.

How much does HuddleSpot cost?+

HuddleSpot is free for up to 100 members, no credit card required. Paid plans are Starter at $39, Growth at $59 and Pro at $99 per month — or $31, $47 and $79 per month billed yearly. Enterprise pricing is custom.

Will you help me move my members?+

Data migration and onboarding are included in the Enterprise plan. On other plans, contact us at hello@huddlespot.io and we will talk through your move.
