What Gradual is
Gradual is a branded community platform for organizations that host events, teach members, and build ongoing engagement. It combines online and in-person events, conferences, courses, blogs, podcasts, videos, resources, discussions, and member connections in one white-labeled space. Communities can be public or private, with separate controls for content, events, and member access, plus custom domains and moderation tools. Members can use messaging, one-to-one matching, discovery, and guided discussions. A multi-user dashboard manages members, discussions, content, courses, events, team roles, platform activity, and engagement analytics. Event organizers can set tiered access, moderate chat, and report, block, or remove users. Hybrid event features include an attendee mobile app, check-in kiosk app, and badge printing. The community app runs on iOS and Android phones and tablets. Integration resources list HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Slack, Zapier, Segment, and Google Analytics. A public API and outbound webhooks support automation. Pricing is available on request.
