systeme.io community: members, access and plan limits

Communities by plan

On systeme.io, communities run 1, 5, 20 and Unlimited across Free, Startup, Webinar and Unlimited, and members are unlimited on all four. The community page says there is no per-member fee, no hosting surcharge and no transaction fee on membership payments; card processing is still charged by Stripe or PayPal.

The systeme.io free plan includes one community, and its members are not capped.

Setting up a community

A community is either private, open only to members you invite, or public, open to anyone who signs up. Invitations expire after 7 days. Inside, the community page lists topics, posts, comments, file uploads, voice memos, video embeds, scheduled posts, post approval and a custom domain.

Selling access

Access is sold through a funnel, with a one-time payment or a monthly subscription: on the order form, choose Digital product and add the community as the resource. Access is granted on purchase and removed if the member cancels. A community can also be added as an order bump on another offer, and a course bundle can be sold as a membership subscription instead.

What a systeme.io community leaves out

The community page names one gap itself: there is no branded mobile app. An existing Facebook group moves as an audience, not as its posts. Live webinars are not supported either, only automated (evergreen) ones, and those need the Webinar or Unlimited plan.

For a community run on live calls, systeme.io vs Skool compares the two, with Skool's prices and fees.
