What Circle is
Circle hosts a branded community with discussions, courses, events and paid membership in one place, adding email marketing and checkout so that the audience and the billing sit on the same platform rather than being stitched together. Newer AI features summarise threads and answer member questions from existing posts. Published plans are quoted per month on annual billing and exclude tax; the trial runs fourteen days.
