## Key features

- **Cohort and self-paced programs:** Build programs from modules and lessons with video, quizzes, assignments, surveys, prerequisites and learning pathways, with templates for cohorts.
- **Community chat and events:** Channels, threads, DMs, feeds, a member directory and leaderboards sit beside live and in-person events with calendar invites.
- **Disco AI:** Generates course outlines, quizzes and images, adds transcripts and summaries to video, and Ask AI answers members from your own content.
- **Memberships and checkout:** Sell programs at one-time prices and memberships billed weekly, monthly or yearly through your own Stripe account, with Stripe discount codes.
- **Automations and reporting:** Unlimited automations on Organization, plus course progress, engagement, event attendance and revenue reports with CSV export.
- **Mobile app:** Members use Disco's iOS and Android app for lessons, events and chat; a custom branded app is an Enterprise option.

## Good for

- Training businesses running live cohorts with a community around them
- Companies teaching customers, partners or employees in a branded academy
- Programs that split large cohorts into groups and subgroups

## Worth knowing

- There is no free plan; the one self-serve plan is $399 a month billed annually and covers up to 500 members.
- More than 500 members, the API and webhooks, SAML SSO and a branded mobile app all need the custom-priced Enterprise plan.
- Disco charges no transaction fee, but payments run only through Stripe at Stripe's own rates (typically 2.9% + 30 cents).
- Discount codes and sales tax are set up in Stripe, not in Disco.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. Disco is a branded learning academy: cohort and self-paced programs, chat, events, AI that answers members from your content, and automations, with no cut of sales. It's built for training businesses and companies, and priced like it: $399 a month billed yearly for up to 500 members. For a solo creator selling a first course, that's steep.

- **Value for money: D.** Organization is $399 a month billed yearly, with no transaction fee, so $2,000 of sales costs $399 a month. That's in this category's dearest tenth and nearly ten times its middle figure of $42. It's priced for training firms with up to 500 members.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but a free trial with no card needed: 14 days on the pricing page, 7 in the billing help docs.
- **Features: C.** Programs with quizzes, assignments, surveys and pathways, chat and events, Disco AI, unlimited automations and revenue reports. A full kit, but the listing names a gap: discount codes and sales tax are set up in Stripe, not in Disco.
- **Ease of use: C.** No App Store rating on record. AI drafts courses and quizzes, but setting up an academy with programs, groups and automations is real work.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with Stripe, Zoom, Slack, Zapier, Google Analytics and Tag Manager. The API and webhooks need Enterprise. No desktop app, which an A needs.

These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Disco's own pages on 17 October 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Disco you could make: online courses and surveys. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 15 of the 18 other course and community platforms grade higher. It costs $4,788 a year.

- You could make: Online courses and surveys: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Stripe, Zoom and Slack among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
