The workspace for private communities
Get your community up and running in minutes
Getting started with Groupanda is simple: create a workspace, invite your people, and turn on paid access when you are ready. No migration project.
Create your workspace
Give your community a name and a look. This is the home everything else lives in.
Create your workspace
Set up your channels
Add channels for your topics, and reply with a quote to keep the context. New members see a clear structure, not a wall of messages.
Bring your people in
Share your group's invite link, and people join right away. If you choose approval, you accept each request first. Members see every channel open to all members, plus the channels of any plan they buy.
Set roles and privacy
Decide who is an admin, and choose who can post in each channel: the owner, the owner and admins, or everyone. You delegate without losing control. Only members see the conversations.

Turn on paid access, if you want
Set a price, and members pay through Stripe. Access opens with the payment. A monthly subscription ends when its paid period runs out, and a one-time payment has no renewal date. Keep some channels open to every member, and limit others to the plans you choose.

Payments handled by Stripe.
Then keep your people close
Notifications bring members back, and your channels and messages are the same on web, iOS, and Android. The daily habit is what keeps it alive.
What it looks like for your members
Your members get a group chat they already know how to use. They join with a link and see the channels they have access to. In a paid group, they buy a plan in the browser, and the mobile apps send them there. No accounts to juggle, no learning curve.

Setup questions
How long does setup take?
A few minutes. Create a workspace, add a channel or two, and share an invite link.
Can I start free and add paid access later?
Yes. Run a free community for as long as you like, and turn on paid groups whenever it makes sense. Stripe Connect pays out to the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Norway, Liechtenstein, Canada, and Switzerland.
Do my members need the app?
They can use Groupanda on the web or install the iOS or Android app. Channels and messages are the same everywhere. In a paid group, they buy a plan in the browser, and the mobile apps send them there.
