Why Kinvo
We built the platform
we wished we had.
Kinvo is for creators, founders, educators, and operators who want a calm, structured home for their community. One product where the chat, the courses, the events, and the money live together — with an AI copilot built into the admin workspace from day one.
Six pillars, one product.
Most community tools focus on one thing — chat, courses, or monetization. Kinvo treats them as one product so they actually work together: a course unlock is the same primitive as a paid channel; both are governed by the same access grants; both are reported in the same revenue dashboard.
- CommunityChannels, posts, comments, reactions, members, DMs, role-gated content.
- ClassroomModules, lessons, drip, free previews, per-member progress.
- EventsSchedule, RSVP, capacity, replays. Notified on the right surfaces.
- MonetizationOffers, access groups, member checkout, invite/comp flows.
- AI copilotDrafts and apply for the operating actions you already do.
- Revenue opsAnalytics, dunning visibility, and a real audit trail.

Fees, plainly
A small slice. Snapshot at purchase.
Kinvo's platform fee on member purchases is fixed when the purchase is made. Plan changes don't retroactively re-apply. The owner's net is recorded on the row so historical reporting is exact.
Build
8%
Subsidized seat cost, higher fee.
Scale
4%
Most communities sit here.
Elite
1%
Lowest fee, highest AI budget.
Members pay through your Stripe Connect account. Stripe routes Kinvo's percentage to the platform as an application fee on each charge. You don't see Kinvo on your customer's receipt.
AI credits
AI that you can budget, audit, and trust.
Every AI call in Kinvo flows through one accounted entry point. That means we can show you exactly how much each draft cost, hard-stop spend when credits run out, and refuse silent SDK use anywhere in the codebase.
Plan-included credits
100 / 500 / 4,000 credits per month on Build / Scale / Elite.
Clean top-ups
Buy a credit pack any time. Elite gets 15% off top-ups.
