Community platform

A community platform in your link in bio, free or paid

Pluff runs your community from your link in bio: an ongoing community, free or paid, with topics, a classroom, events, points and levels — sold on the same page your followers already tap. Challenges get a private group for each round. Run it all with Pluff's AI or the ChatGPT or Claude you already use.

How it works

  1. 1

    Create it

    Name it, add a cover and choose free, one-time, or weekly, monthly or yearly with an optional free trial. It goes live on your link in bio as a card. Or tell Pluff's AI — or ChatGPT or Claude — what it's for and it sets the community up.

  2. 2

    Fill it

    Add topics, a weekly event with your own Zoom or Meet link and the challenges and courses you've built to the Classroom. Every setting starts with a default, so you can launch without opening any of them.

  3. 3

    Share your link

    Followers tap your link in Instagram or TikTok, join or pay on the page and they're inside. No app to download and no password to make.

What a Pluff community is

A community is another thing you sell or give away from your link in bio: free, one-time, or weekly, monthly or yearly with an optional free trial, with a waitlist or apply-to-join if you want one. Members get a feed with topics, polls and search; an Events tab; a Classroom; a Members directory; and messages with you. Run as many as you like — a free one and a paid inner circle, say — on every plan.

Challenges and courses fit in naturally. Each round of a challenge gets its own private group, and General is the space for everyone who has bought from you.

Built for showing up

Most communities go quiet because members have nothing to come back for. Pluff gives them reasons:

  • Events with your own link: a weekly Q&A shown in each member's own time zone, a reminder email 15 minutes before and a replay on the event — your Zoom, Meet or YouTube Live link, with no hour caps
  • A Classroom of your challenges and courses that unlock as members stay — after a number of days in the community, or when they reach a level
  • Points and levels: a member earns a point for every reaction their posts and comments get; Levels 1–9 show on their avatar and a Leaderboard shows the top members
  • Reply alerts: one email a day when someone replies to a member or you answer their question
  • A calm weekly digest of the week's best posts and events
  • A Start here checklist and a welcome message from you for every new member

Members join from your link

A follower taps your link in Instagram or TikTok and lands on the community's page. Free: a name and email in a sheet. Paid: Stripe's form right there on the page — cards work inside the in-app browsers. Then they're inside, with an emailed link that reopens it on any device.

There's no app to install and no password to set. Members use the community in their browser; Pluff has no separate member app.

Run it with AI

Tell Pluff's AI, “Start a paid community for my clients, $27 a month, with a weekly Q&A on Thursdays,” and it creates the community with a welcome, rules, topics, the event and a pinned Start here post. Or connect ChatGPT or Claude to your Pluff account (pluff.social/mcp): they can read your community, draft replies and welcome posts and change its settings.

It's included on every plan. Anything that reaches your members asks for your yes first, and importing people and sending invites stay with you.

Moderation and safety

Members can report any post or message. You can remove a post, pin one, mute a member for 24 hours, remove a member, make moderators and block words. New members can share links after 24 hours in the community. Scam, self-harm and illegal reports also reach Pluff. Groups are private: Pluff never publishes members' posts, and visitors to your community's page see no member content.

Moving from another platform

Moving in from Skool, Circle, Mighty Networks, Kajabi, Whop or any list with emails is self-serve on every plan. Paste the old community's link, upload the member export and invite your people; paying members are free until the date they've already paid through. The full flow is on the move page.

What moves and what doesn't

What moves: your community's name, about, price and rules (Pluff rebuilds them from its link), your people from the member export, and your best posts — paste up to 10 and they become pinned posts from you.

What doesn't move: members' own posts, comments and direct messages; lesson videos hosted on the old platform (paste a YouTube, Vimeo, Loom or Google Drive link instead); and points and levels (members get a Founding member badge instead).

Questions

What's the best community platform for creators?

Pluff, if you sell from social media: the community lives in your link in bio, so a follower taps from Instagram or TikTok, pays on the page and is inside. Your challenges and courses run in its Classroom, you can run all of it with AI (Pluff's own, or ChatGPT or Claude), and plans start at $19 a month, against Circle's $89 (billed yearly) and Mighty Networks' $79 (prices checked October 20, 2026).

Can I charge for my community?

Yes. A community can be free, one-time, or weekly, monthly or yearly with an optional free trial. It can also have a waitlist or an apply-to-join form, and take discount codes.

Do members need an app?

No. Members join from your link and use the community in their browser, including inside Instagram and TikTok. There's no app to download and no password to make.

Are members' posts private?

Yes. Groups are private, and Pluff never publishes members' posts. Visitors to your community's page see what it offers, never what members said.

Can I run it from ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes. Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or Codex to your Pluff account with the MCP connector (pluff.social/mcp), on every plan. They can read your community, draft replies and posts and change settings; anything that reaches your members asks for your yes first.

Can I move my community from Skool or Circle?

Paste the old community's link and upload its member export. Pluff rebuilds the community, brings your members in with one tap each, and gives paying members free access until the date they've already paid through, then lets them keep their spot — by default at no higher price than they paid before. Invites go out in waves, and Pluff won't invite paying members until you've confirmed you've stopped their renewals on the old platform. Your community's name, about, price and rules are rebuilt from its link, your people come from the member export, and you can bring your best posts (paste up to 10). Members' posts, comments and direct messages don't move, nor do lesson videos hosted on the old platform (paste a YouTube, Vimeo, Loom or Google Drive link) or points and levels (members get a Founding member badge instead).
