Talk it through with the founder.
I answer support myself, and a small team builds the product with me. On a 30-minute call we look at what you want to run and how to set it up here.
Faizan, founder and technical leadA large photographers' community runs on it
Great Big Photography World moved to TribeCrafter in September 2026, and its members came across with their profiles, without signing up again. Our founder looked after their old BuddyBoss site for years.
It's the first setup in a long time that feels like it was built for a community and not patched together.Irfan Arshad, Content and SEO Manager at Great Big Photography World
Run it from one admin app
Studio is where you and your staff run the network, built for people who aren't technical.
- All your members in one listSearch them, change roles, suspend someone, and invite people by email.
- One review queueMembers report posts. Your team works the queue, To review and Done, and removes, restores or keeps each one.
- Staff rolesCommunity Admins run it all with you. Moderators, Course Managers and Blog Managers see only the parts their job needs.
- Export your member listAs a CSV, for your board or your own records.
- See how it's goingMembers, paid members, signups and sales at a glance.
- Only the parts you useSwitch off courses, events or the blog while you're not using them, and chat any time. Members won't see an empty menu.
The menus are grouped in a way that just makes sense. It's not complex at all, super self-explanatory, and easy to pick up.Cheerlyn, Creative Director at Great Big Photography World

Professional networks, answered
Can I vet who joins?
Yes. If members already log in on your own website, where you approve them, close sign-up and let them in with that login (single sign-on, set up with our help). With open sign-up, paid content stays with paying members, and you can suspend anyone from Studio.
How do my members move from Circle, Slack, LinkedIn or a Facebook group?
You invite them by email from Studio, or share your sign-up link. Add some posts and an event first, so there's something waiting on day one. Paying members subscribe again on your site, so stop their old subscriptions when you switch. From WordPress and BuddyBoss, our team moves your members and the content that matters.
Can I charge yearly dues?
Yes, a monthly and a yearly price on each plan, paid to your own Stripe account. We take 0%; Stripe's normal fees apply.
What does it cost for a large network?
Members are unlimited and never take a team seat, so you pick a plan by staff and storage: 3 seats and 100 GB on Starter, 10 and 500 GB on Growth, 30 and 1 TB on Scale. Ask within 30 days of your first payment and we refund it in full. After that, cancel anytime. See pricing.
Can members show their firm or job title?
Yes, in the bio on their profile, next to their name, photo and location.
Can I export my member list?
Yes, as a CSV from Studio.
Can we run training courses for members?
Yes. Courses come with hosted video, progress and a PDF certificate at 100%. Sell them on their own or include them in a plan.
Can I keep some content public for search engines?
Yes. Blog posts can be public or premium, and you choose which blog posts and events search engines can see.
Does it work on phones, and outside English?
Yes. It works in any phone browser, and native iOS and Android apps are coming in early 2027. The member site works in English, German, French or Dutch, and you sell in your own currency.
