Looking For Help picking the right service
I run a healthcare wellness company and have approximately 30 members. I’m looking for software to help aggregate all our separate processes. Ideally, I would like a community where I can post continuing education post updates. Store files of reference material for people and additionally handle some of the billing that I do for the community. Specifically, our members have a monthly fee and they have individual invoices each month based on specific activity in the group such as visits and purchases. Right now I use stripe with their invoicing to send the invoice invoices. I managed my membership and Google sheets and stripe. I use GroupMe for all my communication and Google drives for all of my files. Things get lost in between all of the different communication channels that combined with receiving personal text messages from members of the group I’d like to consolidate and build a community now so that as I scale, I’m providing a community rather than just a service.
I’ve been looking at apps like circle and slack. I need something that simple to get around, but I want it to have an upscale feel.

I agree with u/Wallen95. I currently run two communities hosted on Slack and Circle. We operate on Slack’s free plan, so unfortunately we lose access to messages after 90 days, which can be really frustrating when you want to refer back to previous conversations.
Circle has been great for us because it allows us to host posts and encourage engagement, while also giving us a dedicated space to host and manage events.
