Invision Community
Invision Community combines discussion forums, publishing, event management, media galleries, webinars and other community tools. Its drag-and-drop page builder makes pages from prebuilt or custom content blocks without coding. Course features include lessons, progression paths, certificates, badges and quizzes. Administrators can use group permissions to control access to forums, clubs and pages, including paid membership tiers. Integrations include a REST API, real-time webhooks, a Zapier connection to 8,000+ apps and built-in options; developer documentation also describes GraphQL APIs with API key or OAuth authentication. The platform is available on the web, iOS, Android and as self-hosted software. Cloud customers can choose US or EU data storage depending on plan; cloud plans include TLS (HTTPS) and official support, though response times are not guaranteed. Self-hosted Classic requires a compatible server, secure PHP with GD and mbstring, and MySQL, which customers operate themselves. Classic costs $499, paid once, then 199.00 USD/year for updates. Invision Community is paid, has no free plan, and offers a 30-day trial.
