Crews vs Mighty Networks

Mighty Networks is an all-in-one platform for creators and brands, combining community, courses, events and paid memberships, with options for branded apps.

Crews is much narrower. It's for organizers of clubs, studios and local groups that meet up, and it focuses on the essentials: a shared calendar, RSVPs, real-time chat, a memory wall and friendly leagues between crews.

Key differences

  1. 1

    Business platform vs group space

    Mighty Networks is built for running a community as a business, with courses and memberships. Crews is built for a group of people who want to do things together.

  2. 2

    Breadth vs focus

    Mighty Networks does far more. Crews does less on purpose: calendar, RSVPs, chat, memories and leagues, with very little to configure.

  3. 3

    Cost

    Both are paid. Mighty Networks’ cost depends on the plan (check their site). Crews is $59/month per crew, including up to 100 members, after a 14-day free trial.

  4. 4

    Across groups

    Crews gives members a personal calendar across all their crews, and crews compete with other crews in weekly leagues.

When Mighty Networks is the better choice

Mighty Networks is the better fit for creator businesses.

  • Creators combining courses and community
  • Paid memberships and subscriptions
  • Brands that want their own branded app
  • Online-first communities with lots of content

Moving your group from Mighty Networks

If your network is mainly a social group that meets up, moving to Crews can simplify things.

  1. 1.Create your crew and choose public or private. Private crews are joined by invite link or approved join request.
  2. 2.Make one or two trusted members moderators so organizing isn’t all on you.
  3. 3.Add the next few upcoming plans to the crew calendar, so there is something to RSVP to on day one.
  4. 4.Send personal invite links to members, or let them request to join.
  5. 5.Ask members to install Crews to their home screen and turn on push notifications, so they don’t miss new events.

The verdict

Mighty Networks is a strong all-in-one for creator businesses. Crews is a focused space for clubs that meet up in person. If you're not selling courses or content, you probably don't need a creator platform.
