Does Votel have communities and courses, and what do they cost?

Yes. Votel has a Communities feature, similar to Skool, with courses built in. Click Communities to launch the community app. If you do not see it, go to Settings, click Labs and turn on Communities.

Courses live inside a community. Each community has a Classroom where you build your own courses with videos and other content, and you add members to the classroom or course, so you do not need a separate course platform such as Teachable. A community also has posts where members write and share, a calendar, a members list, a map that shows where members are located around the world, leaderboards and gamification, an about page, chat and an affiliate program. It includes a built-in meeting so you can go live inside the community. Use the classroom for anything prerecorded and the meeting room for anything live, such as a live class or your own challenge.

You get your own community platform, not just a community on someone else's platform. You can create as many communities as you want on any plan, including the Professional Plan, charge people to join, set your own pricing and tiers, and even charge people to create their own communities. The community carries the brand of your white label, so you can sell the ability to create communities to your own clients.

There is no cost for the Communities feature itself. Members, plans, classrooms and courses are all unlimited. The built-in meeting feature costs a penny per minute per participant, so 100 people in a meeting cost a penny a minute each.

If you want a membership site with tiers and different content or courses at each level, Communities is a good fit. If what you need does not fit Communities, use the AI assistant to build a web app.

Products you sell are separate from courses. They are under Payments, together with invoices, subscriptions, transactions, coupons and offer links.
