ColibriOS

Mighty Networks alternatives: your community on your own domain, with no fee on a sale and the books built in.

A community with channels and member-only spaces, memberships that renew themselves, courses and live events, on your own website and domain, with no percentage taken from anything you sell. And then what a community platform leaves out: booking from your calendar, events as real rooms with capacity and deposits, and income that lands in your books the day it is paid.

If any of this sounds familiar

  • A percentage of every membership and every course sale goes to the platform, on top of the subscription and the card fee.
  • Your own domain and a branded app are on the custom-priced plan; below it, the community lives on their address.
  • The community is the product, so the 1:1 call, the in-person retreat and the newsletter still need other tools.
  • Membership revenue lives in the network while the books live in a spreadsheet.

ColibriOS and Mighty Networks, side by side

Mighty Networks is a community platform for creators running paid memberships, courses and live events inside a branded network, with native mobile apps and a percentage fee on every sale.

When Mighty Networks is the better choice

A comparison that says we win every row is not one you should trust. Here is where Mighty Networks genuinely does more.

A community engine, first and foremost

Spaces, member-led activity, livestreams, badges, gamification and native mobile apps; Mighty Networks says most content in a network is created by members. ColibriOS community is a feed, channels and member-only spaces built for a practice, not a network of thousands.

Source, checked August 2026

Native and branded mobile apps

Members use iOS and Android apps on every plan, and Mighty Pro ships a branded app under your name. ColibriOS is a web portal that works in a phone browser, with no native app.

Source, checked August 2026

Built-in livestreaming

20 to 50 streaming hours a month with up to 3,000 viewers on Mighty Pro, inside the network. ColibriOS attaches a Zoom, Meet or other video link to a session or event; it does not host the stream.

A community for a practice, on your own site

ColibriOS Pro includes a community: one shared feed, member profiles, announcements that land in members' inboxes, sign-in by email link with no password, topic channels, spaces locked to paying members or to the students of a course, a host highlight for answers worth keeping, and a weekly digest of what people missed. It runs on your website, on your domain. Leaving Circle instead? See Circle.so alternatives.

Memberships, courses and events, with nothing skimmed

Recurring memberships, class packs and member pricing renew themselves. Courses sell with student portals, quizzes, drip release and certificates. Live events take registrations with capacity, waitlists, deposits and door check-in, whether the room is on Zoom or in a hall. Payment runs through your own Stripe at the processor's rate, and ColibriOS adds nothing per sale.

The rest of the practice

Discovery calls and 1:1 sessions book from your real availability with intake forms and waivers. Newsletters and sequences go out from your own sending domain to a list with no cap, with opens and clicks reported. A member, a client and an attendee are one record, with every payment and every email on it.

The books, included

Every membership renewal, course sale and ticket is income the day it lands. Connect your bank and expenses are categorized under Schedule C categories. Profit by offer and a year-end report by Schedule C category are pages you open. Mighty Networks does not list bookkeeping; ColibriOS includes it in ColibriOS Pro.

Questions, answered

Does ColibriOS take a percentage of membership or course sales?

No, on any plan. Payment runs through your own Stripe at the processor's standard rate and ColibriOS adds nothing on top. Mighty Networks lists a 2%, 1% or 0.5% transaction fee by plan.

Which plan do I need?

ColibriOS Pro, at $129 a month, includes the community feed, courses, your website on your own domain, booking, the CRM, email and the books, plus recurring memberships, member-only spaces and topic channels, the weekly digest, and events with capacity, waitlists and deposits.

Is ColibriOS cheaper than Mighty Networks?

On the sticker Mighty Networks Launch is cheaper, $79 a month against ColibriOS Pro at $129, and Scale at $179 costs more. The transaction fee changes the sum: on $3,000 a month of memberships, Launch takes $60 and Scale $30 on top of the plan every month, and ColibriOS takes nothing. ColibriOS Pro also brings your own domain, booking, and the books, which Mighty Networks does not offer at any price. Mighty Pro is custom-priced, so compare your quote.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, in ColibriOS Pro, for the website, the community, the courses and the booking pages. Mighty Networks lists a custom domain only on Mighty Pro.

Is there a mobile app?

No native app. Members use a web portal that works in any phone browser, signing in with an email link. Mighty Networks has native iOS and Android apps on every plan and a branded app on Mighty Pro; if an app icon on the home screen matters to your members, that is a real point for Mighty Networks.

Can I run live events for members?

Yes. An event can be members-only or member-priced, with capacity, a waitlist, reminders and a portal with the video link or the address. ColibriOS does not host the livestream itself; attach a Zoom, Meet or YouTube link.

Does it replace QuickBooks?

For income and expense tracking, yes: sales land as income, bank transactions are sorted into Schedule C categories, mileage is logged, and the year-end report goes to whoever prepares your taxes. If you need a general ledger, a balance sheet, bills or payroll, keep QuickBooks. Colibri helps you organize your income and expenses. It is not a tax preparer, accountant, or a substitute for professional tax advice.

How do I move my members over?

Export your member list as a CSV and import it with tags and consent; members sign in to the new community by email link. Rebuild the membership tiers and upload course lessons, connect your Stripe, and point your domain when the site is ready. Announce the move inside the old network with a date, and run both for a few weeks.
