The record

Product: Swarm is a video-first community platform for online experts and coaches.
Community conversations: Discussions support threaded text, video, voice notes, images, GIFs, embeds, mentions and screen shares.
Courses: Course builders support ordered modules and lessons containing video, text, PDFs and embeds.
Payments: Creators can sell memberships, courses, downloads, event tickets and bookings through a branded storefront.
Integrations: The Scale plan includes Zapier, API access and SSO; Swarm’s help center describes syncing new space members to a CRM through Zapier.
Payment processing: Swarm connects to Stripe for paid space memberships and storefront payments.
Mobile app: Swarm provides an installable Progressive Web App for mobile and desktop, with push notifications and no app-store download required.
Trial: Swarm offers a 14-day trial without requiring a credit card; the trial uses Launch and does not allow testing the store, white label, Zapier or API integrations.
Security and subprocessors: Swarm’s privacy policy names AWS and Google Cloud Platform for hosting and storage, Stripe for payments, and OpenAI for AI features, which it says are temporarily processed and not used for model training.
Data retention: Swarm says it keeps most data while an account is active and for six months afterward, and begins deleting personal data within 10 business days of account closure.
Support: Swarm provides a Help Center with guidance on getting started, member management, live events, billing, stores, courses and troubleshooting.
Intended users: Swarm describes itself as a fit for coaches and experts whose teaching is visual, physical or personal, and says it is a poor fit for text-only communities or people who do not want to appear on camera.
