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

Tinder

  • Tinder states that no cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during the active subscription period
  • Paid subscriptions renew automatically and are charged within 24 hours before the end of the current period unless auto-renew is turned off in App Store settings
  • Extra discovery, matching and expression features are split across three separate paid tiers, Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold and Tinder Platinum
  • The iOS app requires iOS 16.0 or later
