Where each one falls short

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

Mighty Networks

  • A transaction fee is charged on paid memberships on top of the subscription, at 2% on Launch and 1% on Scale
  • Reaching the lowest 0.5% fee requires Mighty Pro, which is custom priced and gated behind a demo
  • Host and moderator seats are capped by plan, at 3 hosts on Launch at $79 a month and 5 on Scale at $179
  • The subscription is charged regardless of revenue, so a community that earns nothing still pays $79 a month

Reddit

  • An ads-free experience requires the paid Reddit Premium upgrade
  • Premium avatar gear, r/lounge access and custom app icons are locked to Reddit Premium
  • Some communities require a minimum amount of karma before you can post or comment
  • Premium subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the subscription ends
  • The iOS app requires iOS 16.0 or later
