Mighty Networks pricing starts at $79 a month for Launch, $179 for Scale and $354 for Growth, with a custom quote for Mighty Pro. Every plan also takes a transaction fee on member payments: 2%, 1% and 0.5%. Your real monthly cost is the plan price plus that percentage of what members pay you.
Quick Summary
- TrueCommunity has no revenue share: Solo is $119 a year ($71.40 during the sale until November 30, 2026). Mighty Networks charges $79 to $354 a month plus 0.5% to 2% of member payments.
- Mighty Networks plans: Launch $79, Scale $179, Growth $354 per month on annual billing, and Mighty Pro on custom pricing.

How Much Does Mighty Networks Cost Per Month in 2026?
Mighty Networks has four tiers: Launch, Scale, Growth and Mighty Pro. The old names (Community, Courses, Business) are retired, so any article still using them is out of date.
The official page shows $79 per month for Launch, $179 for Scale and $354 for Growth. Annual billing is the default view and is marketed as “2 Months Free”. The page’s own ROI calculator shows Launch at $950 a year, which matches paying for ten months instead of twelve.
| Plan | Price per month (annual billing) | Transaction fee | Aimed at |
|---|---|---|---|
| Launch | $79 | 2% | A first community, up to roughly $500 a month in earnings |
| Scale | $179 | 1% | Programs, more tools, third-party integrations |
| Growth | $354 | 0.5% | Growth expert sessions, priority support, migration help |
| Mighty Pro | Custom quote | 0.5% | Your own branded apps and full community services |

The price is flat per month regardless of member count, because every plan lists unlimited members. That part is predictable. The part that moves with your success is the transaction fee, covered next.
Does Mighty Networks Charge Transaction Fees, and Can You Avoid Them?
Yes. The official page lists transaction fees of 2% on Launch, 1% on Scale and 0.5% on both Growth and Mighty Pro. There is no plan with 0%, so the only way to avoid the fee is to not sell through Mighty’s payments.
Your payment gateway also charges its own processing fee on each payment, separate from the platform’s percentage. That means a Launch customer pays the gateway plus 2% to Mighty on every sale, and the platform fee of $79 a month on top.
Cost check: The platform price is the smaller number as revenue grows. At $10,000 a month in member payments, the 2% Launch fee alone is $200, more than twice the $79 plan price.
What Is the True Monthly Cost at Different Revenue Levels?
The table below adds the monthly plan price to the Mighty Networks transaction fee, using the official figures. It excludes payment gateway fees, which are the same whichever platform you use. The assumption is simple: members pay you the revenue shown each month, all through Mighty’s payments.
| Monthly member revenue | Launch (2%) | Scale (1%) | Growth (0.5%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $2,000 | $79 + $40 = $119 | $179 + $20 = $199 | $354 + $10 = $364 |
| $5,000 | $79 + $100 = $179 | $179 + $50 = $229 | $354 + $25 = $379 |
| $10,000 | $79 + $200 = $279 | $179 + $100 = $279 | $354 + $50 = $404 |
| $20,000 | $79 + $400 = $479 | $179 + $200 = $379 | $354 + $100 = $454 |
Calculated from the official plan prices and fee rates, checked November 8, 2026. Gateway fees excluded.
Break-even points between plans
Scale costs $100 more per month than Launch and saves 1% of revenue. Those two lines cross at $10,000 a month: below that, Launch is cheaper, above it Scale wins.
Growth costs $175 more than Scale and saves another 0.5%. That crossover is $35,000 a month. Under that, Growth costs more than Scale, unless you need its priority support or migration services.
Watch out: Upgrading for features, such as integrations, can push you onto a plan that is more expensive than your fees justify. Decide whether you need the feature before you decide on revenue grounds.
What Is the Difference Between the Launch, Scale and Growth Plans?
Members, spaces and core community tools are the same everywhere. Every plan lists unlimited members and unlimited spaces, the feed, chat, events, courses, quizzes, subscription payments, badges, points and leaderboards. The differences are limits, integrations and support.
| Feature | Launch | Scale | Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosts and moderators | 3 hosts, 10 moderators | 5 hosts, 15 moderators | 10 hosts, 100 moderators |
| Total storage | 200 GB | 500 GB | 1 TB |
| Livestream hours per month | 20 | 30 | 40 |
| Viewers per stream | 100 | 200 | 1,000 |
| Admin API requests | Not included | 5,000 per month | 50,000 per month |
| Zapier and Kit integrations | Not included | Included | Included |
| Customizable landing pages | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| Scheduled promotions | Up to 2 | Up to 5 | Up to 10 |
| Member video upload | Not included | Not included | Included |

Integrations are the practical gate. Launch has no Zapier, Kit, Google Analytics or marketing pixel integration; those start at Scale. If your email tool or automation runs through Zapier, Launch may not be enough.
Growth adds team and support extras: growth expert sessions, priority support, migration services and more advanced automations. The official page also notes migration help is available on Growth and above.
Is There a Free Plan or Free Trial for Mighty Networks?
There is no free plan, but every paid plan on the pricing page has a “Start a Free Trial” button. The page does not state trial length or card requirements next to the button, so confirm both at signup before assuming you can test without a card.
That is a real difference from a plugin model. You can install the free TrueCommunity plugin from WordPress.org and keep it free, with its feed, groups, messages, courses and quizzes.
There is no clock running. See the Free vs Pro comparison for what each tier includes.
Is It Cheaper to Pay Annually Instead of Monthly?
Yes. The pricing page leads with annual billing and describes it as “2 Months Free”, meaning you pay for ten months and get twelve. For Launch that works out to $950 a year, which the page itself shows.
The saving is only worth it if you are sure you will stay. Annual billing is a commitment, so a brand-new community is better served by checking engagement with the free trial before paying for a year.

How Much Does a Branded Mighty Networks Mobile App Cost?
Mighty Networks does not publish a price. The official page lists “Your Own Branded Apps” only on Mighty Pro, which is custom-priced and sold by quote.
All plans are available on iOS, Android and the web, but under Mighty’s own app, not yours. If you want an app with your own name and icon in the stores, plan for a sales conversation and a custom contract.
TrueCommunity’s mobile app is coming soon, planned for late February. Each community will get its own branded app on iPhone and Android, sold separately from Pro, with pricing to be announced.
What Else Adds Up Beyond the Plan Price?
Costs outside the headline price are where budgets drift. Mighty Networks offers some options as add-ons or higher tiers.
- Live streaming limits: viewer caps are 100, 200 and 1,000 per stream. Streams of up to 10,000 viewers cost an additional fee.
- Integrations: locked until Scale, so a growing creator may be forced to upgrade for tools alone.
- Hosts and moderators: Launch allows 3 hosts and 10 moderators; larger teams push you up a tier.
- Storage: 200 GB on Launch is generous for text and images but fills quickly with video libraries.
- Custom branding for payments: branded payments inside a custom app are Mighty Pro only.
None of these is unreasonable alone. Together they mean the plan you start on is rarely the plan you stay on if the community grows.
How Does Mighty Networks Pricing Compare With a WordPress Plugin?
The two models charge for different things. Mighty bills a monthly platform fee plus a share of revenue. TrueCommunity charges one flat price per site, and it takes no cut of anything you earn.
| Cost item | TrueCommunity Solo (yearly) | Mighty Networks Launch |
|---|---|---|
| Platform price | $119 per year regular ($71.40 until November 30, 2026) | $79 per month, $950 per year |
| Revenue share | None from TrueCommunity | 2% of member payments |
| Members | No per-member fees | Unlimited |
| Renewal | Same price | Plan price on the pricing page |
| Where data lives | Your WordPress database | Mighty Networks platform |
| Sites | 1 | One network |
Prices checked November 8, 2026 on both official pricing pages. TrueCommunity sale: 40% off until November 30, 2026.
The yearly gap is large. Mighty’s Launch plan is $950 a year before any fees. TrueCommunity Solo is $119 a year regular, about $9.92 a month, with all Pro features included.
Studio covers 5 sites for $199 a year and Agency covers 30 for $299 a year, each with the same features as Solo. See the TrueCommunity pricing page for the lifetime option and the current sale.
Key takeaway: A flat-fee plugin charges the same whether your members pay you $500 or $50,000 a month. A percentage fee grows with every sale.
What a WordPress setup needs on top
The plugin price is not your whole bill. You need WordPress hosting, and if you sell courses you need WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads, as course selling works through one of those. TrueCommunity does not process payments itself, so fees come from your store and gateway.
Hosting varies widely, so budget your own figure. Even with a decent host, the plugin side stays a small, fixed number. Your site, members and data remain yours, and the plugin sends no data to the company.
What Do You Get in Each Product for Community and Courses?
Mighty Networks is a mature platform. Its official page lists on-demand, cohort and live courses, quizzes and tests, sequential and dripped courses, automatically awarded badges and certifications, SCORM-compliant embeds, built-in subscriptions and a native app. Those are real strengths.
TrueCommunity combines a private social network and a course builder in one WordPress plugin. The free plugin has the community features (feed, polls, reactions, groups, profiles, messages, notifications) and basic courses with seven quiz question types. Pro adds topics, drip content, prerequisites, seat limits, assignments, live classes, challenge exams, course selling and gamification.
The course features and gamification features pages list everything. Gamification includes badges, ranks, challenges, leaderboards and rewards that unlock courses, groups or store coupons. Groups and courses are created by site administrators, not by members.
When TrueCommunity fits (and when it does not)
TrueCommunity fits a SaaS-fatigued owner who wants a predictable cost, who already runs, or is happy to run, a WordPress site, and who wants community and courses sharing one set of members. It suits creators, coaches, associations and agencies building for clients, where a flat per-site price matters more than a hosted platform’s bundled extras.
It is not the best choice in these cases:
- You need paid memberships and subscription billing built in today. Mighty includes subscriptions and tiers. TrueCommunity sells courses through WooCommerce or EDD, and paid memberships are only planned.
- You need certificates now. Mighty lists certifications. TrueCommunity certificates are planned, not shipped.
- You want a hosted platform with no WordPress site to manage. Mighty runs everything for you, including hosting and updates.
- You need a branded app today. Mighty Pro offers one on request. TrueCommunity’s app is coming soon and works in phone browsers in the meantime.
- You need SCORM content. Mighty lists SCORM-compliant embeds. TrueCommunity does not offer SCORM.
If you are on the fence, the free plugin lets you test the community and courses with real members before paying anything, and every Pro payment has a 14-day refund under the refund policy.
What’s coming next to TrueCommunity
TrueCommunity is still young, and the gaps above are on the public plan. These are the items that matter most to a buyer comparing it with Mighty Networks.
- Mobile app: coming soon, planned for late February. Each community gets its own branded app with its own name, icon and colours on iPhone and Android, with every free and Pro feature, and members sign in with their WordPress account. It is a separate product with its own pricing.
- Certificates and course catalog upgrades: planned for late December.
- Integrations and paid private groups: planned for early February.
- Memberships and paid access: planned for late March.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Mighty Networks cost per month in 2026?
Mighty Networks costs $79 a month for Launch, $179 for Scale and $354 for Growth on annual billing, with Mighty Pro on a custom quote. Those are the prices shown on the official page. Remember that the transaction fee is charged on top, so your bill rises with member payments.
Does Mighty Networks charge transaction fees?
Yes: 2% on Launch, 1% on Scale, and 0.5% on Growth and Mighty Pro. No plan has a 0% rate, so the cheapest route is Growth, which costs $354 a month. Whether that pays off depends on revenue, and the break-even from Scale is about $35,000 a month.
What is the difference between Launch, Scale and Growth?
The core community and course tools are shared. The plans differ in limits, such as hosts, storage and livestream viewers, in integrations (Zapier and Kit start at Scale), and in support, where Growth adds priority support and growth expert sessions. Check which limit you actually hit before you upgrade.
Is there a free trial for Mighty Networks?
Each paid plan on the official pricing page has a “Start a Free Trial” button, and there is no permanent free plan. The page does not state the trial length beside the button. If a free tier matters to you, the TrueCommunity plugin on WordPress.org is free with no time limit.
Is annual billing cheaper for Mighty Networks?
Yes. The page shows annual billing as “2 Months Free”, so Launch is $950 a year instead of twelve full monthly payments. The saving only helps once you are confident the community will last the year.
How much does a branded Mighty Networks app cost?
The price is not published. A custom branded app is only part of Mighty Pro, which is sold by quote. Ask for the setup, annual and per-platform cost in writing before comparing it to anything else.
Is a WordPress plugin cheaper than Mighty Networks?
For most communities, yes. TrueCommunity Solo is $119 a year regular with no revenue share, against $950 a year for Mighty’s Launch plan before any fees.
Hosting and a store plugin such as WooCommerce add to the plugin route, and they should be priced into your comparison. See the pricing page for plans.
