Build a community around what you know
What is Nadi?
Nadi is where a community lives in one place: a feed to post in, a classroom to teach in, a calendar for live sessions, and the people in it. We build the room and everything it runs on. What gets taught inside belongs to whoever runs it.
New to all this? Our guide explains what a paid community platform is, in plain words.
Who is Nadi for?
Creators use it for what they know about attention and audience. So do coaches, teachers, and anyone who has learned something worth passing on and wants a place to pass it on in.
What do you get?
- The same four rooms, in every community: a feed where people post, ask and answer; a classroom holding courses in the order you wrote them; a calendar for live sessions in each member's own timezone; and a members list where anyone can message anyone.
- Courses that stay yours: you write them, you set who can reach them — everyone, paying members, or people who have earned their way in. Nadi hosts them and takes no claim over them.
- A way to charge, if you want one: free, one-off, monthly, or free-to-join with something paid inside. Members pay you; we take a transaction fee and nothing else.
- Somewhere to be found: every community gets a public page built to be searched for and shared, in twelve languages, right to left included.
Is Nadi only for Arabic communities?
No — Nadi is fully translated into twelve languages, and Arabic came first. Changing the language changes the whole product — every button, every email, and the way dates and prices are written where you live. Arabic and the other right-to-left languages turn the page around with them, so the menu, the buttons and the words all sit on the side they belong on.
How do owners earn on Nadi?
Members pay the owner on the community's own page, and the owner picks one of five pricing shapes: free, a monthly or yearly subscription, free to join with paid upgrades inside, tiers, or a one-time price. A course or a library item can carry its own price too. And if an owner raises a price later, members who already joined keep the price they joined at.
What does it cost?
Two numbers, both shown before you set a price: card processing, and Nadi's share. Nothing is added afterwards, and you see the whole thing before your first payout rather than after it. If our rates ever go up, a community already running on the old rate keeps it — and if they come down, every community gets the lower rate straight away.
What does Nadi refuse to do?
The shortcuts. A live page never shows an invented number — a weak true number is hidden, not dressed up. Automated posts are always labelled as automated, and they are capped. And nothing is claimed before it ships: an empty shelf stays visibly empty rather than pretending to be full.
What do we believe?
A room people come back to is built on more than polished lessons delivered in order. People stay where somebody is being honest with them. At Nadi, we champion the reality of the process — whatever the process is. We believe in documenting the entire journey, highlighting the hard-earned wins while maintaining total transparency about the failures along the way.
Welcome to Nadi. Let's build.
