The big three

Built for serious creators.

The tools that set MemberPad apart: courses, chat rooms, and the money behind them.

REAL-TIME CHAT

Conversations That Flow

Give your community a heartbeat with real-time chat rooms. Multiple channels, instant delivery, and a familiar chat experience your members will feel right at home in.

  • Multiple chat rooms per community
  • Instant real-time messaging
  • Rich text & link previews
  • Persistent message history

VIDEO COURSES

Teach With Cinematic Video

Build full-length learning courses with high-definition video lessons. Upload directly from your browser, track processing in real-time, and deliver buttery-smooth adaptive streaming to your students.

  • Drag-and-drop video upload
  • Adaptive bitrate HD streaming
  • Lesson ordering & management
  • Rich text content below each video

LIVE BROADCASTS

Go Live, Face to Face

Broadcast live to your members with one click: camera, screen share, or audio only, with a movable picture-in-picture so you can present and stay on camera at once. Live chat, a real-time viewer count, and a broadcaster console let you run the show, and every broadcast saves as a replay automatically.

  • One-click Go Live: camera, screen, or audio
  • Live chat & real-time viewer count
  • Broadcaster console with in-stream moderation
  • Automatic replays for your paid members

LIVE ROOMS

Bring Your Members On Stage

Host interactive rooms where your community talks with you, not just watches. Members join as listeners and raise a hand to come up on stage, with real-time reactions, screen sharing for slides and demos, and background blur plus noise cancellation. You run the room with host tools to invite speakers up, move them back to the audience, and keep the conversation on track.

  • Listeners raise a hand to come up and speak
  • Video or audio-only stage with screen sharing
  • Host controls: invite up, move down, clear the stage
  • Record any room for paid-member replays

AUDIO ROOMS

A Room That Runs Without You

Every other live feature needs you in it. An audio room is a voice lounge that sits in your community permanently, and a member with access can walk in and start talking whenever they feel like it. No stage, no queue, and no raised hands, because everyone who walks in can already talk. It closes itself once the last person leaves.

  • Standing rooms your members open themselves
  • Voice only: no camera, no lighting, no prep
  • Host controls to mute one, mute all, or step someone down
  • Exempt from the monthly live minutes limit

MONETIZATION

Get Paid for Your Passion

Monetize your community with Stripe-powered payments, configurable free trials, and a built-in affiliate program that turns members into promoters. Keep more of what you earn with transparent low fees.

  • Stripe subscriptions with free trials
  • Built-in affiliate & referral program
  • Automated email drip campaigns
  • Low transparent platform fee

CONTENT

The Reason They Open The App On A Tuesday

People almost never cancel over the price. They cancel when it goes quiet. Write in a proper editor, give the post a cover worth stopping for, and one publish puts it in the feed of every member entitled to see it, on web, iPhone, Android, and desktop at the same moment.

  • A real editor: headings, tables, embeds, and Markdown paste
  • Up to 16 swipeable images, or HD video, as your cover
  • Free, tier locked, sold in your shop, or unlocked by level
  • Schedule it, then email your members it is up

REACH

Every Post Already Knows How To Travel

The hardest part of a membership is not writing, it is being found by the people who would have paid. Every post gets a permanent link, a share card drawn from its own contents, an embed that earns you a real backlink, and a push to the search engines the moment it goes live.

  • Links keyed on the post, so a retitle never breaks one
  • A 1200 by 630 card built for every post automatically
  • Six networks, a QR code, and an embed with a credit line
  • Members quote your posts into feeds you are not in

PODCASTS

Your Voice, On Demand

Host multiple podcast shows with episode management, cover art, and built-in audio streaming. Members subscribe with one tap in Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or any podcast app via private RSS feeds.

  • Multiple podcast shows per community
  • Private RSS feeds for every member
  • One-click subscribe to Apple Podcasts & more
  • Azure-hosted audio with instant playback

NOTEBOOKS

For The People Who Would Rather Write It

Not everything worth selling is a course. Some of it is just very good writing, in the right order. Publish a playbook, a reference guide, or four years of a trade journal as an ordered set of pages, in the same editor you already use for posts.

  • The same editor as your posts, no new tool to learn
  • Pages in the order you set, with a contents pane
  • Free, tier locked, or sold outright in your shop
  • No camera, no curriculum, no completion to chase

VIDEO LIBRARY

The Shelf They Never Finish

A course has an ending, and a finished course is a reason to cancel. A library is bigger every month. On demand video in categories your members browse, that picks up to the second where they left it and rolls into the next one on its own.

  • Adaptive HD streaming on every device
  • Resumes to the second, then plays the next one
  • A locked category free members can see but not open
  • Live broadcast and room replays land here too

PHOTO ALBUMS

The Best Content You Already Have

The pictures on your phone are the fastest thing you will ever publish and the easiest thing a member will ever open. Drag a whole shoot in at once, caption the shots worth captioning, then watch a member tap one and see it fill the screen, lit by a blurred copy of itself, with every control fading away while they look.

  • Drag and drop a whole shoot at once
  • A full screen viewer with swipe, zoom, and a filmstrip
  • A free album and a members only one, side by side
  • Or put a price on one and sell it in your shop

POLLS

The Lowest Bar You Will Ever Ask Anyone To Clear

Most of your members are never going to write a comment, and that is not the same as not caring. A poll costs them one tap. Attach it to a post or drop it into a channel, and nobody sees the numbers until they have answered, so the first few votes cannot steer the rest.

  • Results are not sent to anybody who has not voted yet
  • One vote each, changeable until you close it
  • Works on posts and in chat channels alike
  • The answers outlive the post or channel they were on

PREDICTION MARKETS

A Number Your Members Come Back To Check

A poll captures what the room thought once. Attach a live prediction market to a post or a message and it keeps repricing itself all week, which is what gives something you wrote on Tuesday a reason to be opened again on Friday.

  • A real, moving probability, refreshed while it is on screen
  • Expand for every outcome and a month of history
  • Posts, channels and direct messages
  • Nobody has to leave or sign up to read it

FILES

The Part They Get To Keep

Everything else you publish is something a member watched. A file is something they own. Drop your templates, checklists and resource packs into a folder, say who gets in, and that folder keeps proving the subscription was worth it on the days you did not publish anything.

  • Drag a whole batch on, any file type, up to 50 MB each
  • Access set once on the folder, every file inside follows
  • A locked folder free members can see but not open
  • Or put a price on one and sell it in your shop

GAMIFICATION

Progress They Can Watch Themselves Make

The Climb turns showing up into something a member builds. Comments, lessons, videos, quizzes, and daily visits all earn points, points raise them through nine levels, and badges mark the milestones. Switch it on and it backfills from your history, so it launches populated instead of everyone sitting at zero.

  • Points, nine levels, and daily streaks
  • Custom badges with your own art and rarity
  • Gate a course behind a level members earn
  • Confetti on every level-up, plus public shout-outs

WELCOME PAGES

The Screen That Decides Whether They Come Back

Most people who quit a membership quit in the first week, and almost none of them were unhappy. They just never worked out where to start. Record a short hello, write the two or three things you want them to do first, and it opens by itself the moment somebody arrives.

  • Opens on a member's first visit, then gets out of the way
  • A different page for visitors, free members, and each tier
  • An HD intro video, so they meet you in the first thirty seconds
  • Stays on the Getting Started tab, one tap away forever

COMMUNITY

Your Community, Your Rules

Launch a branded community space in minutes. Create public or private communities, customize your presence with logos and descriptions, and invite members through unique profile links.

  • Unlimited communities per creator
  • Custom branding & profile pages
  • Public community directory
  • Invite links & discoverability

EVENTS

Give Them Something To Turn Up For

Content is something a member might get to. A date is something they are going to. Put an event on your community calendar and members get a month grid, a list view, a status that moves to Starting Soon on its own, and a live countdown. Every event carries the time zone it really happens in, so nobody turns up an hour late.

  • Month calendar and list views for members
  • Repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly
  • Time zone aware, with each member's local time
  • Lock an event to a tier, or sell a single seat
