Chipi builds an independent online community for your business and maintains it. Your domain, your database, your member list. Every piece of software installed, connected, and paid for. Your members get an app on their phone. One flat price that does not move when you grow.
Most small businesses run a community tool, an email tool, a store, a form builder, a project board, and video hosting as six separate subscriptions, then move the data between them by hand. We install all of it on one system with the connections already built.
Spaces, feeds, member profiles, direct messages, events, and courses, on your domain and under your name. Members install it on their phones as an app.
Email marketing, a store with subscriptions and tiers, forms, project boards, and video hosting. Same install, same login, one bill.
A member joins and lands in the right spaces with the right welcome. A purchase grants access. A form creates a contact. Built during the build.
Every community ships connected to an AI assistant that reads and runs your own data. Ask for the numbers, the campaign, or the change, in plain language.
Bought separately this stack runs past $1,500 a year before anyone configures it. Every license is included in your price.
No admin panels to learn. No reports to build. Your community, your member list, your store, and your boards, connected to an assistant you talk to.
Scoped to your site and your data. We set the permissions during the build and document what it reaches.
Twelve month term, billed monthly. The build is included in the first year, so there is no setup invoice. It renews at the same rate, and it does not change when your community grows.
You own the hosting account and pay your host directly. We install, configure, and maintain everything on it.
Everything on the left, plus the hosting itself. We provision it, pay for it, and keep it running. You point your domain at it and log in.
Four things sit outside the price. Every one carries a number.
Per-member seats. Storage tiers. A branded app behind the top plan. A cut of everything you sell to your own members. A price that rises every time the thing works.
Chipi charges for the build and the upkeep. Nothing on the invoice moves when you grow.
One short form. Who your members are, how you want them grouped, what you sell them, what your brand looks like. No call required to start.
We install the stack, build your spaces and roles, apply your brand, wire the automations, and connect the AI. Fourteen days.
A walkthrough of your own community with your administrator, including how to run it by asking. Then you invite your members.
Updates, backups, monitoring, and two structural changes a month, every month, for as long as you stay.
Every small business with customers who talk to each other has the same problem. The talking happens on a platform they do not control, in a group they cannot export, in front of an audience they cannot email. Everyone knows this. Almost nobody fixes it, because fixing it means running software.
The software exists. It is good, and it costs less than people think. The only question was whether anyone would install it, connect it, and keep it running at a price a small business can pay every month.
The answer is Chipi.
Back to topYour members are on a platform you rent. The list of who they are belongs to the company that runs it. Your reach is a setting on somebody else's dashboard. The rules change on a Tuesday and nobody sends a memo.
You built something real and handed the keys to a company that has never met you and will never take your call.
A community you cannot export is a community you are borrowing.
Back to topCircle, Mighty Networks, and Kajabi charge by the member or by the seat. Grow and pay more. Succeed and pay more. Every new member is a line item, so the better your community works, the more the invoice hurts.
That pricing model asks you to think twice about inviting people. A community that punishes you for growth is working against the only thing it is for.
Our price is the same at fifty members and at fifty thousand.
Back to topPosts are traffic. Engagement is weather. The list of people who raised their hand and said they want to hear from you is the only durable thing a community produces.
On a rented platform that list is a number on a dashboard. On yours it is a database with email addresses in it, and you can reach every one of those people tomorrow morning without asking anyone's permission.
If you cannot email your members, you do not have members. You have viewers.
Back to topA feed is a river. Everything scrolls past once and is gone, sorted by an algorithm optimizing for something that has nothing to do with your business. Your best thread from March may as well have never happened.
A place has rooms. Spaces by topic, searchable history, documentation that stays where you put it, events with dates on them, courses that people finish. Members go there on purpose instead of encountering you by accident.
People come to a place. They get served a feed.
Back to topThe usual setup: a community tool, an email tool, a store, a form builder, a project board, and video hosting. Six vendors, six invoices, six logins, six exports, and a person on your team moving spreadsheets between them on Friday afternoons.
All of it runs on one install, on one login, with the connections already built. A purchase grants community access. A form creates a contact. A new member gets the right welcome and lands in the right room.
Integration is not a feature you buy. It is a thing somebody has to sit down and do.
Back to topThe community installs on iOS and Android home screens with your name and your icon, and push notifications reach members for posts, comments, and messages. Members open an app instead of remembering a URL.
The platforms sell this as an enterprise upgrade at four figures a year, because they know what an icon on a home screen is worth.
Included. Every plan. No tier above this one.
Back to topBought separately, the stack we install runs past $1,500 a year before anyone configures a thing. Renewal dates, license keys, expired activations, plugins that stop updating because a card expired in March.
None of that is yours. Every license is in your price, and keeping them current is the job you are paying us for.
You should never receive an email about a license key.
Back to topMembers buy their own ad placements and pay through your store. Sponsors buy the header and the sidebar. Ad networks run in the feed. Members who want a clean view buy an ad-free plan from you.
Every other platform treats your community as a cost that rises with its success. A community with an audience in it is worth something to somebody, and that somebody should be you.
Your community is inventory. You should be the one selling it.
Back to topEvery community we build ships connected to an AI assistant that reads and runs your own data. Ask how many members joined last month. Ask it to write the newsletter and send it to one space. Ask it to add a membership tier, or to build a board and assign the tasks.
Software that requires a training course is software that gets used for three weeks. The whole point of owning your infrastructure is defeated if operating it takes a specialist.
Ask your business a question and get an answer back.
Back to topWe install the software, connect it, update it, back it up, and keep it running. We do not write your posts unless you ask us to. We do not moderate your threads, recruit your members, or speak in your voice.
Members can tell when an agency is doing the talking. The relationship you have with the people in your community is the only thing on this page that cannot be installed.
We own the infrastructure. You own the conversation. That division is the entire company.
Back to topHourly billing rewards slow work. Project billing rewards scope creep. Per-member pricing rewards your growth by taxing it. We charge one flat rate because it puts us on the same side of the table as you.
The twelve month term exists for one reason: the first month is a build, not a subscription, and a community takes two to three months to take root. It funds the work without a separate setup invoice.
The price you see is the price at renewal, at any size.
Back to topThe domain is yours. The database is yours. The member list, the content, the courses, the sales records. Ask for the export and you get it, whole, in a format anyone can read.
We would rather earn the next month than trap you into it. A company that keeps clients by making leaving painful has stopped competing on the work.
If you go, you take all of it.
Back to topPublished on purpose. It is how the price stays where it is.
The short answers.
Fill in the brief and we will have your community running in fourteen days. Look at a live one first if you want to see what you are buying.
