Gather Socially is a faith-native social platform where creators, coaches, and entrepreneurs build community, host live events, and sell courses — keeping 90% of what they earn. It combines a social feed, live audio and video rooms, and creator monetization in one place.
Gather Socially is for pastors and ministry leaders, coaches and consultants, course creators, community builders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs. It suits anyone who wants to run a community, teach what they know, and earn from it in one place rather than across three tools.
Gather Socially is free to join and free to publish. There is no seat-based pricing and no monthly floor to start. Creators who sell on the platform keep 90% of what they earn and Gather Socially keeps 10%; an optional Pro plan at $39/month raises the creator's share on recurring income to 95%.
Creators on Gather Socially are paid through Stripe. Earnings from courses, paid community access, and supporter subscriptions accrue to the creator's balance and pay out monthly. Card processing is deducted from the top before the split, so the percentages describe what reaches the platform rather than the gross charge.
A Gathering Circle is Gather Socially's live community room, where a host brings members together in real time around an actual event rather than a comment thread. It is one of the two live surfaces on the platform, alongside Round Table.
Round Table is Gather Socially's seat-based live audio room, attached to a book club session. The host controls a fixed number of speaking seats, members raise a hand to request one, and everyone else listens — so a large room stays orderly without muting the conversation.
Gather Socially calls a creator's community a Space, and it holds six tabs in one place: Community for the feed, Classroom for courses, Calendar for what is on, Members, Leaderboard, and About. Membership of the Space is what decides which of those a person can open.
Yes — a creator on Gather Socially can attach a course to their Space so that joining, or a particular paid tier, is what unlocks it, instead of the member buying it separately. Access granted this way ends if the member leaves; a course somebody bought outright stays theirs.
Yes — points on Gather Socially are counted per community as well as platform-wide, so a Space's leaderboard reflects what people do inside that Space only. Everyone starts a new Space at zero, however long they have been on the platform.
Yes — an event on a Gather Socially Space calendar can repeat weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and it then appears on every date it runs rather than only the day it was created. Events belonging to a private Space stay inside it and are not listed publicly.
Gather Socially differs from Skool in that it includes a full social feed and live audio and video rooms, which Skool does not offer. Skool combines courses and community and lets creators keep 100% of revenue, but charges a flat monthly platform fee; Gather Socially is free to start and takes 10% of what creators earn.
Gather Socially differs from Circle in pricing model and in having a native social graph. Circle is community and course software priced per seat, so costs rise as a community grows. Gather Socially is free to join, charges no per-seat fee, and adds a public feed and live rooms alongside the community space.
Yes — Gather Socially is designed as a destination for communities leaving Facebook Groups. The practical difference is ownership: on Facebook the reach of every post is decided by an algorithm and the member list belongs to the platform, whereas on Gather Socially the community, the content, and the revenue belong to the creator.
Gather Socially is faith-native and built primarily for Christian creators and communities, but it is open to anyone. Nobody is required to state a belief to join, and the platform is used for business, coaching, and course work as much as for ministry.
