A community feed in a Passion App with posts, replies and reactions
The short answer

Passion.io is for creators who want community revenue in a channel they own. You can host free and paid communities, organize multiple channels, control messaging privileges, use member profiles, and send real-time push notifications from the same app as your content and offers.

Community flow

One community. Three control layers.

The operating model for owned community: organize the conversation, define messaging access, then bring members back when the next moment matters.

Channels keep context.

Creators can create free and paid communities with multiple channels for onboarding, Q&A, course feedback, accountability challenges and celebrating wins.

What the community app handles

Discussion needs ownership.

Passion.io moves community out of borrowed social feeds and into the same owned app where people buy, learn, ask questions and come back.

Capability What it lets you do
Free and paid spaces Create free and paid communities so discovery, onboarding and premium access can live in one app.
Multiple channels Organize onboarding, Q&A, course feedback, accountability challenges, wins and other focused threads.
Messaging rules Control whether members can message each other, start conversations with you, or unlock messaging through a paid subscription.
Rich in-app chat Send messages, photos, videos and files inside the community instead of losing the thread across tools.
Push notifications Send real-time alerts. Push notifications have a 7x higher clickthrough rate than email.
Member profiles View activity history, purchases, time spent in-app, contact email, display picture and other member context.
Onboarding surveys Use Typeform onboarding to learn what members need before you personalize the value you create.
Membership upgrades Use free trials, teaser content, subscription upgrades and one-time purchases to move members into paid community value.
