Disciple: The Best Membership Site Platform
- Private messaging – Disciple makes sending private messages as easy as 1-2-3. Even Facebook with its trillion pound market cap doesn’t have a built-in way for you to send a private message if you’re using a smartphone. Disciple does.
- Moderation tools – Every community needs moderation. What communities don’t need is faceless executives reaching inside the walls of the community and imposing their corporate agenda on members. With Disciple, moderation control is in your hands.
- Push notifications – Push notifications enable you to keep everyone up-to-date with community news and developments, alert members to comment replies, inform as many or as few users as you want about various happenings and much more.
- Groups – Disciple allows you to create subgroups within your community based on common interests, location, or any one of a number of different variables. This is a great way to strengthen ties between community members.
- Crystal clear live streams – Ever view a livestream on Zoom or Facebook? Not great. Disciple offers some of the highest quality live streaming you’ll find in any membership community platform.
Other features include polls, #hashtags, threaded comments, activity feeds, subscriptions, member profiles and much, much more.
A Wealth of Monetisation Options
Another way Disciple stands head and shoulders above the competition is in its monetisation options. This is a company that understands running an online community can be costly and provides you with a plethora of ways to tastefully monetise that community to ensure its long-term health. Those monetisation options include:
- Subscriptions – With Disciple, you can offer free, freemium and premium membership levels depending on what you deem appropriate.
- Paid app download – Some community leaders who think paid subscriptions aren’t quite right for their particular community instead charge a modest, one-time fee to download the app.
- In-app purchases – Online courses, digital downloads, e-books, physical products, exclusive live streaming events and more are all available with Disciple.
- Sponsorships & advertising – Sponsorship deals are a great way to monetise all or part of your community. The type and number of adverts is also entirely up to you.
Where huge social media companies impose ever more restrictions on monetisation, Disciple is always looking for more and better ways to help ensure the financial health of your community.

Frequently asked questions
What do we mean by “membership website”? In a nutshell, a membership site is one that provides a safe online space where people with similar beliefs, interests, or concerns can come together and share their experience, ideas, or love of a particular brand, band, or movement.
Your membership site doesn’t have to fit into any particular category. It can be about whatever you want. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to have a pretty good idea of what that is before you start looking for the membership site platform to create it.
Online community leaders have become increasingly disenchanted with the way they are exploited and restricted, and the way their data is often misused, by social media giants. As a result, more and more are looking into creating their own membership site, but they’re concerned that doing so is either too complicated, or too expensive, or both.
Those were legitimate concerns in 2010, maybe even 2015. But today there are a number of membership website software packages available that are both easy to use and remarkably affordable.
The bottom line is that you no longer have to hire a developer and pay them £50,000 or even £100,000 or more to create a membership site from scratch. The architecture has already been built by these various companies and all you have to do is pick the right one for you, customise it and populate it.
An increasing number of online community leaders have been put off by the growing tendency of Facebook and other social media giants to reach into their communities and impose their corporate values. Many are also appalled by both the misuse of member’s data and the lack of security surrounding that data. It is this desire to find a better way that has driven the development of many of today’s best membership site alternatives. Here are some of the reasons these new membership sites succeed.
- The best membership sites respect their members, have clear rules regarding what’s acceptable and what is not, and leave moderating of user content in the hands of community leaders, not anonymous corporate executives.
- The best membership sites promote and bolster engagement among community members in more ways than are possible with something like a Facebook social media community, including polls, direct messaging and more.
- The best membership sites prioritise the user experience, offer user-friendly navigation, can be easily customised, and are mobile-friendly to accommodate the contemporary user.
- Among other things, the best membership sites offer exclusive content, digital downloads, and a variety of membership levels while protecting sensitive user data.
Disciple Media is the hands-down winner when it comes to enabling the creation of vibrant, secure online communities. Whatever type of community you’re looking to create you can do so with Disciple. The Disciple feature set is unrivalled in the industry, video streaming quality cannot be beaten, and users have myriad ways to customise their experience without compromising your branding efforts.
Disciple satisfies all the criteria for creating a sustainable online community:
- It puts control back in the hands of community leaders where it belongs and allows them to set and enforce the rules as they see fit.
- It allows community leaders to bolster engagement through the aforementioned features including polls, direct messaging, #hashtags, threaded comments and more.
- It offers user-friendly navigation and is mobile-friendly in every sense of the word.
- It provides rock-solid security to prevent user data from being misused.
- It’s more affordable than most of the competition.
- And it provides an array of convenient, effective monetisation options that enable you to accept online payments and ensure the long-term viability of your community.
With all those things and more going for it, Disciple is the clear choice for the best membership site platform. If you are planning to create a new online community or to migrate your Facebook group to a more agreeable platform, you owe it to yourself to talk to the team at Disciple.
