Play with sound from the beginning
A paid community on the same record as your courses and orders.
Create spaces, decide who can read, comment or post, and charge for access with subscriptions.
The member feed: posts, likes and comments by space.
- Spaces. As many as you need, grouped in sections.
- Permissions. View, like, comment and publish, each set by a CRM filter.
- Subscriptions. Trials, retries, a grace period and pause.
- One record. Purchases, lessons, posts and failed payments on the same contact.
Good to know: One community per account. Members use a web portal on your domain; there is no app-store app.
The member feed, threads, points, settings and events.
Screens from a demo academy account. Open any of them to see it full size.

Questions people ask.
How do I control who sees which space?+
Each space has four permissions: view, like, comment and publish. Each one is a CRM filter, for example “active subscription” or “finished the course”. You can also give one person access by hand, with an end date.
How do members sign up and log in?+
At your member portal, on a subdomain or your own domain, with one login for the community and your courses. Open registration lets anyone join a free space; turn it off and only buyers and invited people get in.
Do you take a percentage of membership payments?+
No. AXL takes 0% of what members pay. You pay your payment provider’s processing fee. AXL has a permanent Free plan; paid plans start at $49 a month.
Can I run more than one community?+
One community per account. Inside it you can create as many spaces and sections as you need.
Your members, your domain, your revenue.
Free plan, no card needed. Paid plans from $49 a month.
