Fora

Fora is a white-label community platform for creators, educators, and coaches to run a fully branded space with courses, events, discussions, and members — all under their own subdomain or custom domain.

What is Fora?

Fora is a white-label community platform that lets creators, educators, and coaches build a branded online home for their community. It takes your content (courses, events, posts) and produces a unified, branded experience with community feed, chat, leaderboard, and analytics — all running on your own domain. The platform is built by Fora.so and is currently in beta with free access and a permanent discount for early members.

Key Features

• White-label branding — Your community runs on your own subdomain (e.g., yourname.fora.so) or a custom domain you own. Members never see Fora's name or logo.
• Courses — Structure content into chapters and lessons, publish directly inside your community. Members access courses without leaving the platform.
• Events — Create events with RSVP and add-to-calendar buttons. Integrated into the community dashboard.
• Community feed & chat — Post, discuss, react. A real-time feed that keeps members engaged.
• Leaderboard — Automatically ranks members based on posts, completions, and activity. Drives engagement.
• Member profiles & directory — Each member has a profile; you can manage members and see who's active.
• Analytics — Track member activity, course completions, and engagement metrics.
• Customizable overview page — Set a hero color, headline, description, and member avatars to sell your community on first visit.

Who is it for?

• Creators like Ava Torres, a certified strength coach who uses Fora to deliver 12-week training programs, host live Q&As, and run a supportive community of 847 members.
• Educators who want to combine courses with a discussion forum under their own brand.
• Coaches who need a space for coaching programs, events, and member interaction without juggling separate tools.

What can you do with Fora?

• Run a branded online course hub — Structure lessons into chapters, publish, and let members progress within the community.
• Host live events and webinars — Schedule events with RSVPs and integrate them into the community calendar.
• Build an engaged membership site — Use the leaderboard and discussion feed to keep members active and connected.
• Create a premium coaching community — Offer exclusive content, form-check threads, and weekly live Q&As (as seen in Strong By Ava).

FAQ

Is Fora really free right now?

Yes. Fora is in beta and completely free. No credit card required, no trial period. Just sign up and go. When paid plans launch, beta members get a permanent discount locked in.

How long does it take to set up?

Most communities are live in under 20 minutes. You pick a subdomain, customize your overview page, and invite your first members. No code or infrastructure needed.

Do I need a custom domain?

Not for Starter. Starter uses your Fora subdomain. Pro and Enterprise support your own custom domain (just add a DNS record, and Fora walks you through it).

What happens when the beta ends?

Beta members get early notice, first access to paid plans, and a locked-in permanent discount. The platform continues to operate; no data loss.

Can I migrate from another platform?

Fora does not currently advertise a migration tool, but the platform is designed to be set up fresh in minutes. Contact their support for specific migration needs.
