Discourse TotalCtrl Community

Build the community around your product.

Discourse means hosting and maintaining a forum yourself. TotalCtrl's Community is a hosted forum that's already connected to your help center, support queue, and member records — no server to babysit.

Why switch

It's not just a Discourse replacement

One subscription, 30+ apps

Stop stitching together a dozen point tools. Community is one of 30+ apps you get on every plan — no add-ons, no per-seat surprises.

Your data, actually connected

Everything shares one dataset, so work flows automatically — a won deal opens a project, logged hours become an invoice, a ticket pulls from your help center.

AI woven throughout

Drafting, summarizing, and search powered by AI across every app — not a bolt-on you pay extra for.

Also replaces: Circle
