Kampunity

Tap a star to rate

Kampunity is a platform for coaches and course creators who run paid group programs: cohorts, masterminds, group coaching and small communities that learn together. Each program lives in a "camp" that holds the conversation, the curriculum, the events and the payments, so members get one link and one login instead of a group chat, a shared folder, meeting links pasted by hand and bank transfers chased through a spreadsheet. The homepage sums it up as "One tool instead of five." Kampunity is built and run by one founder, and the site is available in English and German.

What a camp contains

The homepage lists six building blocks under the line "Everything a camp needs. Nothing it doesn't." and then says, "That's the whole list."

Channels and threads. Conversation is organized into channels with threads, tags and upvotes, so it stays findable instead of scrolling away the way a busy group chat does. The company blog describes three kinds of channel: public channels to attract prospects, private channels for all members, and course-exclusive channels that keep each course's discussion in one place.

Learning trails. The curriculum is built as trails of modules and lessons, with quizzes, assignments and progress tracking, which the blog calls a multimedia course builder. There is no importer. You paste what you already have into modules and lessons, and the homepage argues that a 30-person program does not need one.

Events. Office hours and calls sit on one shared calendar, shown in each member's own timezone. According to the blog, the events system handles one-off workshops and recurring cohort sessions, integrates with Zoom and Google Meet, uses a color-coded calendar and sends automated email reminders to lift attendance.

XP and leaderboard. Levels and points reward showing up. They are tuned per camp, and the homepage calls them "ignorable if not your style". The blog adds badges, awarded for completing lessons or taking part in discussions, with leaderboards on top.

Payments and your page. You charge monthly or one-time through Stripe, and each camp gets a public landing page that can run on your own domain. Payouts land in your own bank account. The blog lists free access, one-time purchases, recurring subscriptions and membership tiers among the ways to charge, plus landing page templates, so a creator does not need a separate website builder to sell a membership.

Announcements. One post can be pinned for every member and emailed to the members who asked for email, sent from the camp's own address.

The homepage is just as plain about what is left out: there is no AI and no analytics layer. The product is meant to be a small set of tools that a group program actually uses.

How a camp gets started

The homepage lays out four steps. You create the camp with a name and an icon, which it says takes two minutes and no card. You paste your curriculum into modules and lessons. You connect Stripe and set your price, monthly or one-time. Then you share the camp's landing page, and members join themselves by opening the page and creating an account, after which everything is behind one login. Asked what moving actually costs, the FAQ answers "An afternoon, honestly."

The blog sketches what a camp looks like in use. A business coach runs a six-week program in which each course module has its own chat channel, holds weekly live Q&As through the built-in event calendar, and uses the points system to reward finished lessons and active discussion. That combination of course, conversation and live sessions in one space is the whole idea of the product.

Pricing

Kampunity has two plans with the same features. The only difference is the fee Kampunity takes on what members pay.

  • Free Creator, $0. A 10% platform fee on member payments, and no card needed to start.
  • Creator Pro, $99 a month per camp. A 1.5% platform fee, described on the homepage as "same features, lower fee".

The homepage puts the crossover at roughly $1,165 a month: once a camp earns past that, Pro is the cheaper deal, and it says the pricing page does that math for you. The blog adds that standard Stripe processing fees apply to all transactions on both plans, on top of the platform fee. Because Pro is priced per camp, the decision is made camp by camp.

If you stop paying for Pro, the camp drops back to the free plan at the end of the billing month. The FAQ says nothing is deleted and nobody is locked out; the platform fee simply returns to 10%. That makes the free plan a working fallback for a program whose income drops, not a trial that expires.

Who runs it

Kampunity is a one-founder company and says so openly. Support replies come from the person who wrote the code, and the homepage notes that the roadmap is short enough to read. It presents the size as a choice, adding that "Your camp won't be one of ten thousand." On the obvious question of whether a platform this small is safe to build on, the FAQ answers that it is small and run by one founder, and that because payments go through Stripe, "the money side never depends on us." It invites creators to ask anything before they commit, with the founder answering.

Who it suits

The blog names three groups. Coaches and consultants running cohort-based programs, masterminds and group coaching that need both course material and live interaction are described as the main fit. Course creators can use it to add a community to their courses. Training organizations can use it to deliver professional development programs, with several cohorts, events and learning resources in one place.

In practice it suits a coach or educator with a defined group, around the 30 people the homepage uses as its example, who currently runs the program across a chat app, a folder and a payment link and wants it in one place. The free plan lets a new program start with no fixed cost, and Pro pays off once a camp's revenue passes the crossover. Members get a single page and login, which the FAQ argues most of them see as an upgrade over a group chat and a folder.

The trade-offs are the ones the company states itself. The feature list is short by design, there is no AI and no analytics layer, and the business behind it is one person. Creators who want an extensive marketing toolkit are outside what Kampunity sets out to be; creators who value a focused camp and direct contact with the founder get exactly that.
