How Disciple and Leadpages compare
Disciple does the thing most community platforms charge a premium for: every plan includes your own iOS and Android app listed under your name, a synced web version, and no Disciple branding anywhere your members look. Groups, feeds, DMs, events, native video, livestreaming, courses, push notifications to segments, and a customer success manager who helps you through the app store submission. Associations, training providers, nonprofits, and membership brands that want an icon on the member's phone are who it is built for.
Leadpages does landing pages very well. Conversion-tested templates, pop-ups, alert bars, A/B testing, lead notifications, and Stripe checkouts help a marketer launch a campaign page in an afternoon and know how it is performing. It stays focused, and that focus is why people keep it.
