What Mateflow is
Mateflow is a community platform for creators, brands, education teams, and organizations building branded communities. It brings together feeds, spaces, direct and group messaging, events, courses, and live sessions. An AI Copilot included on every plan can answer from uploaded documents and indexed community discussions. Communities can charge subscriptions, gate spaces, and accept Stripe payments. Monthly plans are $49 a month for Starter, $129 a month for Growth, and $399 a month for Business; transaction fees range from 3% on Starter to 0% on Enterprise. Every plan has a 14-day free trial without a credit card, but there is no free plan. Integrations include Stripe, Slack, Discord, and Zapier, plus webhooks and a REST API. API access and webhooks begin on Growth, which allows 5,000 requests per day and five webhook endpoints; Starter lacks API access. Security controls include configurable two-factor authentication, email verification, Turnstile bot protection, session revocation, and audit logs. Google Calendar and Mailchimp are not yet connectable.
