## What a Tribe includes

- A feed for posts, with pay-per-view posts members can unlock
- Chat with members, including video attachments
- Lessons: courses inside the Tribe, open to everyone or gated by tier
- Events and webinars with RSVPs and paid tickets
- Live video rooms for calls, office hours and workshops
- Points and leaderboards to recognize your most active members
- Tips on posts and messages

## Paid tiers

Create membership tiers with their own price and access. Members subscribe through Stripe Checkout and get the tier's access when their payment succeeds. Allied Tribes takes 11% of sales on Free, 5% on Pro ($11 a month) and 3% on Leader ($111 a month). Stripe's processing fee is separate, and payouts go to your own Stripe account.

## Child Tribes for teams, cohorts and offices

Child Tribes under a parent Tribe, so one organization can run a Tribe per team, cohort or office. A coaching business can run a Tribe per cohort; an agency can run one per office or team, all under one parent. Pro includes 11 Tribes and Leader is unlimited.
