Community & membership
A community that rewards showing up.
Spaces, paid tiers, events and real courses — with gamification that rewards contribution, not a popularity contest. On your own domain.
For creators building a paid membership community.
You want a room where your people actually show up — talk to each other, do the work, stick around. Not a ghost-town feed that spikes when you post and flatlines when you don't.
But the popular "keep it simple" option is simple because it's thin: one flat feed, no real course depth, and a points system that rewards whoever gets the most likes. And the powerful alternatives cost more, take a manual to run, and still keep your members on their turf instead of yours.
Points for contribution, not for popularity
The market leader gives a point every time someone likes your post — so the leaderboard measures who's loudest, not who's building. We award points for completing a course, attending an event, keeping a streak, referring a friend and answering questions. The people who make your community valuable are the people who rise.
Spaces, not one endless feed
Organise your community into spaces and sub-spaces — by topic, by tier, by cohort — each with its own access. Members find what they came for instead of scrolling past everything they didn't.
A real course engine inside it
Not a stripped-down "classroom" — modules, drip, quizzes, graded assessments and certificates, tied into the tiers and gamification. The depth people pay Kajabi extra for, without the extra bill.
It's your community, on your domain
Custom domain, your branding, full member export. Your members belong to you — the whole platform is built so you never get locked out of your own audience.
Why Gbeya
The most popular "simple" community tool awards points only when people LIKE your posts — a popularity contest that rewards noise. We reward the things that actually build a community: finishing the course, showing up to the event, helping someone, coming back. And your members live on your domain, not a platform that owns them.
And it isn't a bolted-on tab — the community shares one login, one audience and one analytics spine with your courses, email, payments and everything else you run on Gbeya.
