Built for Membership sites
Unlimited members on every plan, a community and a course library in the same portal, and dunning that recovers failed payments before they become churn.
Unlimited members always · community from $29
The usual problem
The economics of a membership are simple — recurring revenue minus churn minus tooling. Most platforms make the third term grow with the first.
Kajabi Basic stops at 2,500 contacts. Simvoly's top plan stops at 2,500. Growth means an upgrade conversation, every time.
Circle Professional is $99 a month on top of whatever hosts your content, and the member in one is a different record from the member in the other.
A card expires, the payment fails, nobody notices, and the member is gone. Recovery is a feature, not an accident.
What you get
Everything a membership needs, priced so growth doesn't cost more.
01
No per-member pricing and no member cap at any tier. A membership that doubles doesn't change your bill.
02
Groups, channels, profiles and discussions sitting beside the course library and the file downloads, behind one login on your domain. $29 plan.
03
Bronze, silver, gold — access granted automatically on purchase and revoked automatically on refund or cancellation.
04
Failed payments retry on a schedule, and a recovery sequence emails the member before access lapses. $97 plan.
05
Release material by days since joining so month three still has something new in it — the single most reliable retention lever a membership has.
06
See who has gone quiet and start a re-engagement sequence automatically, before the cancel button. $97 plan.
The maths
| Kajabi Growth (25,000 contacts) | $199/mo |
| Circle Professional | $99/mo |
| Dunning tool | $50/mo |
| All of it, on OpusFunnel | $97/mo |
Circle is a better standalone community product. What it cannot do is share one member record with the content, the billing and the email.
Where to start
$29 gives you unlimited members, the community, the course library, the branded portal and subscriptions — the entire membership product.
Move to $97 Grow when you want the dunning sequences, re-engagement automation and segmented email, which is usually the point where churn starts mattering more than growth.
Questions
No member limit on any plan. Each plan does include a contact allowance, and contacts above it are billed rather than blocked, so a good launch never breaks your account.
Yes. Access is granted by what someone bought, so a higher tier can unlock extra courses, extra community channels or both, automatically.
Retries run on a schedule. From the $97 plan a recovery sequence emails the member, and access can be revoked automatically if it never clears.
Yes, through a billing portal — which is both better for them and required in several jurisdictions.
As a standalone product, no. Circle has live rooms and a branded app; Skool has a stronger gamification loop. Ours wins on being the same record as the subscription and on costing $29 rather than $99 on top.
