In their own words
Concord
Concord combines creator monetization and community features in one app. Creators can offer memberships, paid or subscriber-only posts, tips, digital products, role unlocks and revenue-sharing collaborations. Community tools include channels, roles, permissions, forums, threads, voice, stage, video, screenshare, custom emojis and stickers. Concord says its Discord import transfers categories, channels, roles, permissions, custom emojis, stickers, branding and full chat history. It describes direct messages and communities as end-to-end encrypted. Creator payouts use a connected Stripe account; Concord says it does not add a markup to payment processing, though Stripe processing fees apply. The service is available in a browser and apps for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux. Starter allows one recurring tier, one one-time offer and 150 MB of attachments; Growth allows two of each and 3 GB; Advanced allows 25 recurring tiers, 100 one-time offers and 10 GB. Growth and Advanced include recurring trials of 1–90 days and failed-payment recovery. Webhooks and website embed widgets are Advanced features.
