서클이란 무엇인가요?
Circle.so is an online community platform for creators, brands, and online 사업 소유자.
It uses Spaces and Space Groups to organize discussions, courses, and events.
Each community platform space can be public, private, or secret.
That structure gives community builders real control over who sees what.
Many teams move here after outgrowing a Facebook group.
💡 Name check: This review covers Circle.so, the community software. It is not Circle Internet Financial (the USDC company), the Circle parental-control app, or the Netflix show.
Here is a walkthrough of the Circle platform in action.
원
Built for discussion-first communities. Spaces, chat, and native live streaming sit in one clean dashboard.
서클 가격
Here is what Circle’s pricing looks like in 2026.
| 계획 | 가격 | 가장 적합한 대상 |
|---|---|---|
| 전문적인 | 월 89달러 | Solo creators launching a first community |
| 사업 | 월 199달러 | Teams needing more advanced features |
| 기업 | 부유한 회원의 프로필, 이벤트 | Larger organisations with custom needs |
| 플러스 브랜드 앱 | 맞춤 가격 책정 | Brands wanting their own mobile app |
Loading...
무료 체험: Yes. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial so new users can test the platform first.
환불 보장: No published refund window. The trial is your testing period.
📌 메모: The Professional plan caps admins, moderators, and spaces. The Business plan raises those limits and unlocks a custom domain and priority support.
⚠️ Pricing conflict flagged: Our CSV lists the Enterprise entry as features rather than a figure. Outside research puts Enterprise at $399/month. Check the pricing Circle publishes before you buy.
Circle의 주요 이점
Circle을 고려해 볼 만한 이유는 다음과 같습니다.
- Space control: Build public, private, and secret spaces. You can control access so certain spaces stay members-only.
- Native live streaming: Host events without a third-party tool. Sessions run up to 30 participants, live streams up to 100 viewers.
- Paid memberships: Charge for access through Stripe in multiple currencies. Discounts and coupon codes are built into checkout.
- 자동화 도구: Workflows handle repetitive community management jobs. They also personalise the welcome message new members receive.
- Rich post editor: Circle’s post editor supports headings, blockquotes, and collapsible sections. Community posts read more like articles than forum replies.
- 모바일 앱: Members reach communities, courses, events, and chats from their phone.

기능 비교

| 가장 적합한 대상 | Loading... | 온라인 강좌 판매 |
1. Community Spaces and Group Discussions
원: Spaces and Space Groups organise the entire community around themes. You can run multiple spaces, lock private spaces behind a plan, and open chat spaces for threaded group discussions. Members switch between communities with one click.
카자비: The community feature covers posts, events, and challenges. It works, but it sits beside the course product rather than driving it. Community management here is lighter than what a dedicated community platform offers.
2. Live Streaming and Live Events
원: Native live streaming runs inside the platform. Circle handles small group sessions for up to 30 people and a 라이브 스트림 for up to 100 viewers. You can host events and send reminders without leaving the dashboard.
카자비: There is no equivalent live streaming feature. Creators usually run sessions on Zoom and post replays or 유튜브 videos inside a course module.
⚠️ 경고: Circle’s live tool lacks the moderation controls of dedicated 웹 세미나 software. Large paid events may still need a separate host.
3. Course Builder and Course Functionality
카자비: The Kajabi course builder needs no code. Templates, quizzes, and progress tracking come standard, and students find courses through a clean member portal. Course creation is the strongest part of the product.
원: The course builder supports videos, audio, and PDFs. It works for a lightweight cohort, but it trails Teachable and Kajabi on grading, drip logic, and reporting.
4. Digital Products and Coaching Programs
카자비: One Kajabi account can sell downloads, a membership site, podcasts, and coaching programs. A course creator running a coaching business can keep every product on the same platform.
Coaching gets its own workspace rather than a generic product type.
원: You sell access, not products. Paid memberships unlock certain spaces, and free trials let people look around first. Anything more complex needs a third-party checkout.
5. 이메일 마케팅 및 캠페인
카자비: Broadcasts, sequences, and marketing campaigns all live here. Most creators drop their outside email marketing software once marketing efforts move in.
Artificial intelligence also drafts newsletter copy from your existing content.
원: Email covers community-driven sends such as invitations and digests. It reaches other members well, but it is not a replacement for a full campaign tool.
6. Website Builder and Landing Pages
카자비: An intuitive website builder handles your entire website, blog posts, and unlimited pages. You can create landing pages from templates, and Kajabi websites publish on a custom domain.
원: The website builder is newer and simpler. It covers a landing page and a member-facing home, not a marketing site with funnels.
7. Automation Tools and Workflows
원: Workflows automate repetitive jobs and personalise onboarding for new members. Automated check-ins nudge quiet people back into the conversation.
Check-ins run on their own schedule once you set the trigger.
카자비: Automations attach to sales funnels, so a purchase can trigger emails, tags, and access changes. The branching is deeper than Circle’s, which stays inside the community.
⚠️ 경고: Circle’s automation is often described as basic. Complex multi-step logic usually needs 자피어 or a similar bridge.
8. Analytics and Member Activity Tracking
원: Activity tracking shows who posts, who lurks, and where community engagement drops. That helps you spot the members worth promoting to moderator.
카자비: Reporting leans commercial. You get revenue, conversion rates, subscription metrics, and course progress in one dashboard.
9. Customization, Gamification and Extra Channels
원: Brand colours, logos, and layout are all editable. Gamification adds points and leaderboards, a cool feature for keeping quiet members active.
Points and ranks sit on member profiles where everyone can see them.
카자비: Design control is tighter, which some creators find limiting. In exchange you get channels Circle does not have, including 팟캐스트 hosting through Creator Studio.
10. 가격 및 비용
두 계획을 나란히 비교해 봅시다.
| 계획 | 원 | 카자비 |
|---|---|---|
| 기입 | Professional: $89/month | Kickstarter: $71/month |
| 중간 | Business: $199/month | Basic: $199/month |
| Upper mid | — | Growth: $159/month |
| 맨 위 | Enterprise: Rich members’ profile, events | Pro: $319/month |
| 추가 기능 | Plus Branded App: Custom Pricing | — |
| Sales cut | 0.5%–4% transaction fee | No transaction fees |
원: The sticker price is only part of pricing Circle correctly. A transaction fee of 0.5% to 4% stacks on Stripe’s 2.9% + $0.30, so cost rises as revenue does.
카자비: Entry pricing undercuts Circle by $18 per month, and no cut is taken from sales. Replacing separate marketing tools can beat the $600 monthly stack many creators run.
💡 꿀팁: Do the maths at your own revenue. At $10,000 in monthly sales, a 4% fee costs $400 before card processing.
다양한 시나리오
| 필요하시면 | 선택하다 | 왜 |
|---|---|---|
| To sell courses first | 카자비 | Deeper course builder |
| Discussion-led community | 원 | Spaces and threaded chat |
| Zero cut on sales | 카자비 | No transaction fees |
| Native live streaming | 원 | Streams built into the platform |
| 모든 것을 위한 하나의 도구 | 카자비 | Site, email, and checkout included |
| 최저 진입 가격 | 카자비 | $71/month versus $89/month |
💰 예산
Kajabi’s Kickstarter tier is the cheapest way in. Circle looks close on paper until the transaction fee lands on every sale.
🔌 사용 중인 기술 스택
Kajabi replaces more of your stack, including email and checkout. Circle assumes you keep some tools and connect them, though integrations are thinner than on other platforms.
📝 콘텐츠 스타일
Daily conversation and live events point to Circle. Structured lessons that create online courses point to Kajabi.
🎓 귀하의 경험 수준
Circle’s interface reads easily if you already Slack을 사용하세요 or Notion. Kajabi has more screens, but Kajabi University walks new users through the core features.
🆓 무료 체험 및 데모
Both offer a trial, and Circle’s runs 14 days on every tier. Import real content instead of dummy 텍스트 so the test means something.
🛟 지원 옵션
Kajabi runs 24/7 help on the Growth and Pro plans, while the Basic plan drops live chat. Circle keeps priority support for the Business plan and above.

저희 리뷰에서 다루지 않은 내용
This comparison focused on solo creators and small teams. We did not test bulk licensing, single sign-on, or how either tool handles a community with unlimited members on an Enterprise plan. We also did not benchmark support channels under load. If you run a large operation, your priorities will differ from what we covered here.

🏆 WINNER: KAJABI
Kajabi wins 4 of 7 categories.
다음과 같은 경우에 가장 적합합니다: course creators, coaching programs, memberships, and anyone who wants to grow your business on one bill.
Circle and Kajabi are not really the same product. Circle sells a thriving online community. Kajabi sells the machinery of a successful online business.
Circle is the better home for daily conversation, live streams, and member-led momentum. Tens of thousands of creators use Kajabi because it removes the sales cut and folds marketing into the same bill.
If your revenue comes from courses and digital products, Kajabi is the safer pick. If the community itself is the product, Circle earns its price.
