Overview
Disciple, formerly Disciple Media, is a London-based platform that lets creators, coaches, and brands build a fully white-labeled community app for iOS, Android, and web, complete with groups, courses, livestreams, and monetization, without writing code.
Founded around 2013 by Benji Vaughan and Jeremy Smith out of a desire to give musicians a direct, algorithm-free way to connect with fans, the company shifted from a bespoke app-development agency into a self-service SaaS platform starting around 2016.
Key Features
Every Disciple plan includes a fully branded native iOS and Android app plus a web version, with tools for discussion groups, direct messaging, live and on-demand video, monetizable online courses, and event hosting.
Disciple applies a 0% transaction fee policy across all plans, meaning customers keep the revenue they collect from members and courses, subject only to standard payment-processing fees.
Pricing
Disciple's plans range from Branded App at $399/month (annual billing) up to Branded App Pro at $999/month, with a custom-priced Organisation tier for large enterprises; higher tiers add more admin seats, groups, monetizable courses, video minutes, API access, and multi-host livestreams.
Key Features
Fully branded native apps — Launch your own iOS and Android app in the App Store and Google Play under your own brand, not Disciple's.
Discussion groups — Create multiple groups to segment community conversations by topic, tier, or cohort.
Live and on-demand video — Host livestreams and video events, including multi-host livestreams on higher-tier plans.
Monetizable courses — Build and sell online courses directly within the branded community app.
0% transaction fees — Disciple does not take a cut of member subscription or course revenue processed on the platform.
Direct messaging — Members can message each other directly within the branded app.
Advanced analytics — Track community engagement and membership metrics on Plus and Pro tiers.
API access and Zapier integration — Connect Disciple to other tools and automate workflows on higher-tier plans.
