Alternatives / White-label community
Own the network. Not a clone, and not a scheduler.
Closed Circuit sells a white-label social network on your domain, plus the media APIs that feed it. The search results for "white-label TikTok" mix that up with four other businesses.
Five products, one search
| What you are buying | Where members live | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Hosted community | On their platform. You brand a corner of it. | Circle, Mighty Networks, Bettermode |
| Alumni and association suite | On their platform, sold as an organization portal. | Hivebrite |
| Social network script or clone | On the server you operate. | ShaunSocial, Miracuves-style clone apps |
| White-label scheduler | On TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. You rent the posting tool. | PostPlanify, OnlySocial |
| Closed Circuit | On your domain. We host it. | CC Community, plus Encode, Scribe, Audio, and Images |
Hosted communities
Circle, Mighty Networks, and Bettermode are the product your members log into, on infrastructure you do not take with you. They fit a course, a paid membership, or a customer community when you want their app and their roadmap. Hivebrite is the same shape aimed at alumni networks and associations.
We wrote the money comparisons for the two that publish a rate card we can check: Circle and Mighty Networks. Both take a cut or a meter that we do not. CC Community is $199 a month (Launch) or $399 a month (Operator), unlimited members, 0% platform fee. Use your own Stripe account or ours; standard Stripe fees apply.
Use them if their mobile apps, their templates, or their marketplace of integrations are the reason you are buying. Use us if the transaction fees and the seat meters are the reason you are leaving.
Scripts and clones
ShaunSocial is a commercial PHP social network you license and host. The server, the upgrades, and the downtime are yours. Clone shops, Miracuves among them, sell a TikTok-shaped or Instagram-shaped app as a project. You get a skin of an existing network and a codebase to maintain.
That is a real product if you have someone to run a VPS and you want source you can edit tonight. It is not a media API, and it is not a managed network. We do not publish a script price, and their license fees move, so this page does not quote one.
PeerTube is the open-source version of a narrower idea: federated video, not a full social network. That comparison is separate.
Schedulers are not a network
PostPlanify and OnlySocial, and the rest of the white-label social tools in those results, publish posts onto TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Agencies resell the dashboard. The followers stay on those apps. Nothing in that category gives you the feed, the members, or the video files.
Closed Circuit does not post to TikTok for you. Short video, long video, stories, and live run on your domain, under your brand, with your rules. "Your own TikTok + YouTube + Instagram" on our homepage means the features, on a network you operate. It does not mean a pipe into those companies.
What we actually sell
CC Community is the network. White-label on every plan, your domain, unlimited members, 0% platform fee, from $199 a month. We host it.
The media APIs are products on their own. CC Encode, Scribe, Audio, and Images are prepaid from $5. HD encode is $0.01 per output-minute, into your bucket or ours. A community platform that cannot hand you the transcode, the transcript, and the image transform as an API is a website. The encode comparison against Mux, AWS, Cloudflare, and Qencode is its own page, because it is a different purchase.
Questions
What is a white-label community platform you own?
Your domain, your brand, your member payments. 0% platform fee. $199 or $399 a month, unlimited members. We host the software. Video and the other media jobs are APIs you can call without going through the community UI.
Is this a TikTok clone?
No. A clone copies an app you do not control. This is the network: long video, shorts, stories, live, messaging. It does not send posts to TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram.
How is this different from Circle or Hivebrite?
Circle, Mighty Networks, and Bettermode are hosted communities. Hivebrite is that model for alumni and associations. You are a tenant. We charge per community and take none of the membership payment. Seat-level numbers for Circle and Mighty Networks are on their own pages.
How is this different from ShaunSocial?
ShaunSocial is a PHP script you host. You pay for the license and then for the machine. We host the network. Pick the script if you want to edit PHP this week. Pick us if you want the network and the media APIs without running the box.
Do you post to TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram?
No. That is what a white-label scheduler does. Members stay here.
