Question 1

What's the best platform for tarot readers and spiritual teachers in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Depends on what you're selling. 1-on-1 readings only: Calendly + Stripe is fine. Monthly subscription circle ('Full Moon Coven', 'Weekly Pull') with group access + video lessons + community: Kourze. Mighty Networks is the established player but $39-$179/mo and feels corporate. Patreon: cheap but you don't own the audience or the brand. Kourze sits between: cohort circles + courses + community + your branded domain at $29-79/mo.

Question 2

Can I sell 1-on-1 readings AND a group circle on the same platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 1-on-1 readings via the calendar booking module (client picks a slot, Zoom link auto-generated, $80-$200 per reading). Group circle as a $19-$49/mo recurring subscription that includes weekly video pulls + group thread + monthly live ritual. One Stripe account, one URL (sacred.yourname.com), one billing dashboard.

Question 3

What about energetically holding the container — does Kourze get the spiritual side?

Accepted Answer

Honest answer: Kourze is software, not a coven. What it CAN do is give you the practical scaffolding (recurring billing, video player, community feed, cohort drip) so you can focus on the energetic work. What it CAN'T do is replace your facilitator presence. Mighty Networks markets itself harder to the spiritual niche but the actual product is similar. The 'feel' of your space depends on YOUR copy + ritual + facilitation, not the platform UI.

Question 4

How does the community feature work without Discord?

Accepted Answer

Native feed (posts, replies, reactions), DMs between members, weekly check-in threads ('What card pulled you this week?'), XP for showing up, paid challenges ('21-day shadow work', $49 entry). Lives at YOUR domain. No 'join my Discord' friction. Members log in once, everything is there: video lessons + group chat + ritual replays + readings booking.

Question 5

What about live group rituals via Zoom?

Accepted Answer

Zoom integration: schedule a 'Full Moon Ritual' as a live event, the subscription gates access (only paying circle members get the link), auto-record + auto-upload as a replay module for members who couldn't attend. The container exists across timezones.

Question 6

What does payment processing cost?

Accepted Answer

Stripe 2.9% + $0.30 everywhere. Kourze: 9% Free → 1% Pro → 0% Scale. Mighty Networks: $39-$179/mo + 2-3% transaction fee on top of Stripe. Patreon: 5-12% Patreon + Stripe. At 150 members × $29/mo subscription: Kourze Pro = $29 + $44 = $73 in fees. Mighty Mighty = $179 + ~$130 = $309. Patreon = ~$300. Kourze Scale ($79 flat) wins above 100 members.

Question 7

Can I also sell tarot decks or oracle cards through Kourze?

Accepted Answer

Kourze is digital-first (courses + subscriptions + readings), not a physical product shop. If you sell physical decks: keep a Shopify store for the decks, link from Kourze to Shopify. The Kourze affiliate marketplace can promote your deck — you give a 30% commission to fellow readers who refer buyers. Most spiritual creators keep physical on Shopify + digital on Kourze.
