Less course platform, more hangout.
Circle is built to sell courses and memberships. Probed is built for the conversation itself: live chat, drop-in voice rooms and events, with members always free.
Stay on Circle if
- You sell courses or a paid membership.
- Your community is mostly long posts, not live chat.
- You want your own branded app.
Switch to Probed if
- Your group talks in real time.
- You want voice rooms people can drop into any time.
- You don't need a course platform, or its price.
What's different
A group that talks all day.
Channels and threads where people chat in real time, not a feed of long posts waiting for comments.
Drop in, no scheduling.
Voice rooms are always there. Walk in, share your screen, walk out. Nobody has to start a session first.
A fraction of the price.
If you don't need courses or payments, you don't need to pay for them.
The cheapest paid plan, billed yearly: Circle $89/mo (Professional), Probed $16/mo (Premium, $190 a year).
Side by side
Circle wins 2. Probed wins 2. 2 come down to your group.
Common questions
Is Probed a Circle alternative?
If your community is about talking rather than courses, yes. Probed is real-time chat and voice; Circle is posts, courses, live sessions and memberships.
Do my members pay on Probed?
No. Only the space owner pays, on every plan.
