When Mighty Networks is the better choice
You need native mobile apps with push and the full breadth of an established suite, including big reach features. Mighty delivers more there.

Pukalani vs Mighty Networks
Modular instead of a suite — your community, your design, your data in Germany.
Mighty Networks brings community, courses and events together, mobile apps included. That's strong if you want the full breadth. Pukalani is the lean counter-proposal: only the blocks you need, hosted in Germany, no transaction fee – and individual blocks are embeddable in your own website.
An honest comparison
Compared honestly. Including where we're (not yet) the answer.
We only compare what we can back up — with sources and a date. Where we're weaker, it says so right here.
| Criterion | Pukalani | Circle | Skool | Mighty Networks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry price per month | free | $89 (Professional) | $9 (Hobby) | $79 (Launch) |
| Transaction fee | none | 2% | 10% (Hobby) · 2.9% (Pro) | 2% |
| Hosting / company base | Germany | USA | USA | USA |
| Courses incl. paid access | yes (early access) | yes | yes | yes |
| Blocks can be switched off individually | yes | suite | suite | suite |
| Blocks embeddable in your own website | yes (discussions, events) | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Native mobile apps with push | no | yes | yes | yes |
“n/a” means: we couldn't verify it properly — so we don't claim anything. Spot a mistake? Tell us and we'll fix it.

You want native iOS/Android apps with push, or a community with 50,000 members and enterprise SSO? Then the big suites are (still) the better choice. For everyone who wants to start lean, fair and privacy-close, we're the right way.
When Pukalani fits
You want to start lean, pay predictably, host in Germany and decide yourself which blocks are even visible – without ballast you never open.
