Swarm
The video-powered community platform
Swarm is a video-first community platform that brings discussions, courses, live events, payments and gamification together in one place. It is built for coaches, experts and creators who want members to interact through video and voice rather than text alone.
Core modules include threaded Discussions with video, voice and screen share replies, a Course Builder with modules, quizzes and certificates, native live Events with meeting and webinar modes plus recordings, and a branded Storefront for memberships, courses, downloads, event tickets and bookings. Gamification, DMs and groups, hubs and topics, moderation, AI Assist, a branded app, white-label domain, Zapier, API and SSO are also listed.
Pricing is organized into Launch, Growth and Scale editions, with limits on members, spaces and live stream duration varying by plan, along with different transaction fees. A 14-day free trial is available without a credit card, and custom plans can be requested.
