Here are the questions we hear most often. If yours is not here, reach us at [email protected].
GroveHub™ is an all-in-one community platform for educators, creators, and community builders. It lets you run classes, host a private community forum, manage events, and do it all under your own brand and custom domain. Think of it as everything you wished Facebook Groups, a course platform, and a chat tool could do together, in one clean space that you actually control.
Facebook Groups are free, but you pay for that with your audience's attention. Ads show up in your group feed, the algorithm decides which of your posts members actually see, and you have no control over any of it. Your members also need a Facebook account to join, which is a dealbreaker for many groups.
GroveHub gives you a private, ad-free space where every post reaches every member. No algorithm, no ads, no strangers wandering in. Your members do not need a Facebook account to join.
Kajabi and Skool are both powerful platforms, but they are built for a specific type of creator: one selling high-ticket courses with a big marketing budget to match. Kajabi starts at $119/month. Skool has its own affiliate culture baked in. GroveHub starts at $9/month and is built for people who want a real community, not a funnel.

GroveHub™ is designed to be self-serve, and most community owners are up and running on their own without any trouble.

No. GroveHub includes a built-in website for your community. Your members land on your branded site, with your domain, your logo, and your content. You do not need a separate WordPress site, Squarespace, or anything else. Everything lives in one place.
