Discord vs Mighty Networks, and how to move from Mighty to Discord
Updated · Moving to Discord
Mighty Networks is a paid, branded platform with courses, events and payments built in; Discord is a free chat-first platform where courses and payments come from other tools. Move to Discord if your members want real-time chat and voice and you're fine adding a paywall; stay on Mighty if built-in courses and your own branded app matter more.
