What sets us apart
Key features that make a difference for modern clubs and societies
Membership Management
Discord tracks who's in your server, not who's paid their dues. communities.one manages applications, payments, renewals, and member profiles.
Event Ticketing
Sell tickets, manage capacity, and check in attendees. Discord events are just calendar entries without payments or check-in.
Payment Collection
Collect membership dues and event payments directly. Discord doesn't handle money—you'd need separate tools.

Discord is excellent for chat and voice. communities.one handles the operational side—memberships, payments, events, and tasks—that Discord can't.
Many clubs use Discord for chat AND communities.one for operations. If you need to collect money, manage memberships, or run events, you need more than Discord.
