I also love that I can host my course directly on Circle, check in on students' progress, and offer help. Also, the ability to host live meetings within the platform saves time and money. Circle has given me the chance to create a safe, supportive space where everyone feels part of something special. And to do it away from other social media platforms. > > **Cons**: At first, Circle can feel a bit overwhelming due to its many features, but demo videos help for me and for my community, and it gets easier over time. Though I’m still new (3-4 months in), every feature I’ve used has been very helpful. It just takes a little time to adjust, which is normal. > > My overall experience with Circle has been sincerely positive. It’s given me the tools to build a values-driven, supportive community where people can connect in meaningful ways. The platform is user-friendly once you get used to it, and features like Spaces and the ability to host courses and live meetings all in one place make managing my community much easier. Circle allows me to stay close to my community members, offer real support, and create a safe, inspiring environment. I’m really happy with how it has helped me grow my community and make it more engaging for everyone. ----- ### "Circle is very useful “all in one” platform and tool" — 5.0/5 > **Tea** | *8 November 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything is in one place and it’s really easy to use > > **Cons**: There is no multiple languages like Croatian > > Very easy to use, seamless platform and intuitive ----- ### "Great tool for community building" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *31 January 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: So many options for building community. payment options from the platform, automations and workflows to reach out + automate actions like tagging folks and bulk emails or DMs > > **Cons**: Sometimes certain views are not ideal like the DMs scroll up instead of going to the most recent message. > > Been using circle for our community for 4 months now and its been great, people share a lot to help folks with their own community giving tips/ideas/workflows and so much more. The support team is also super nice and helpful. ----- ### "User friendly and effective to build a community" — 4.0/5 > **Alessandra** | *30 January 2025* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: User friendly and with all the functions needed to build a community > > **Cons**: Analytics needs improvement and CS is not always the greatest > > Very positive and as my very 1st experience in building a community it was pretty easy to find my way around ----- ### "User friendly and responsive" — 5.0/5 > **Angie** | *30 October 2024* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I absolutely love Circle. As someone who's not extremely tech savvy, it's very user friendly and easy to navigate. I like that there are multiple ways to host my information, discussion, chats and courses. They're always adding new features which have really enhanced our community. The ability to have locked spaces that have a paywall has been great for helping members upgrade. My members love that they can use the app or use the browser. > > **Cons**: I wish it was easier to send voice notes and that they had transcription. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/380296/circle?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/380296/circle) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
