The short version

  • Only Clubhouse has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Clubhouse no pricing information available on public website or app download pages; Disciple the entry plan starts at £599 a month, so a community with a few hundred members pays more per head than almost any percentage-fee alternative, and the flat fee only wins above a revenue threshold you should calculate before signing.
  • They diverge on capability: Clubhouse covers Audio Rooms, Disciple covers Native branded apps.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Clubhouse

  • Live voice chat social networknot Disciple
  • Audio-based discussion communitynot Disciple

Disciple

  • A membership body moving several thousand paying members off Facebook Groups into an app that carries its own name in the App Storenot Clubhouse
  • A fitness or coaching business selling subscriptions where a percentage-based platform fee would cost more each month than a flat licencenot Clubhouse
  • A sports club or faith organisation that wants push notifications to reach members directly rather than competing with a social feed algorithmnot Clubhouse
  • A brand running a customer community that must live on its own domain and its own app listing for reasons of ownership or sponsorshipnot Clubhouse

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Clubhouse

  • No pricing information available on public website or app download pages
  • Pricing model not disclosed
  • Customers must access app or contact support for cost information

Disciple

  • The entry plan starts at £599 a month, so a community with a few hundred members pays more per head than almost any percentage-fee alternative, and the flat fee only wins above a revenue threshold you should calculate before signing.
  • Video is metered at 10,000 minutes on the entry plan and 20,000 on Pro, so a community that leans on live streaming will hit overage or a plan upgrade rather than the unlimited storage the marketing implies.
  • Owning your own App Store listing means owning App Store review, rejections and the annual developer account, and a policy change at Apple becomes your problem rather than the platform vendor's.
  • Apple and Google still take their cut of in-app purchases regardless of Disciple charging no transaction fee, so the zero percent claim applies to Disciple's share only and not to the total cost of collecting money in-app.
  • Pricing is in sterling, which introduces exchange rate exposure and, for some buyers, VAT handling that a US-billed competitor would not create.
