A free community platform where you can sell courses and tickets.
Free has unlimited members and unlimited courses, a feed, events and messages. Connect Stripe and you can sell courses and event tickets on the free plan.
01 ·What you can sell on Free
Sell courses and tickets on the free plan.
Set a one-time price on a course, or charge for an event with one ticket that covers every session. Guests buy tickets with a free Lockers account without joining your community. Payments go to your own Stripe account once it is connected and ready.
- 5% of each sale, plus Stripe processing.
02 ·Community on Free
Unlimited members, a feed and messages on Free.
The feed has categories you name, polls and pinned posts. Direct messages and private groups of up to 50 people are included, along with the member directory. Keep member records with private notes, tags and follow-up dates, and use your own colors, logo and layout without a Lockers badge on your posts or feed.
03 ·Courses on Free
Build your first course in Course studio.
Drop your videos and files into Course studio and turn them into lessons with notes and downloads. Upload native video or add YouTube lessons, which use none of your stored video allowance.
04 ·What Pro adds
Pro adds paid community access.
Charge a monthly or annual price to join your community. Pro lowers the Lockers fee on every sale to 1% and adds quizzes, certificates and your own domain. A paid membership includes every course in that community. Webinars in the browser need Pro plus the paid Live hosting add-on.
05 ·Storage on Free
Store 1 GB of files and 120 minutes of video on Free.
Uploaded video counts in stored minutes, and your community runs at a lockers.social address. Everything you upload stays in place at the limit, and new uploads continue once you free up space or move to Pro for 25 GB and 1,200 minutes.

Is the Lockers free plan open with no card?
Yes. Free is $0 per community, has no end date and needs no card. Your first Locker starts with a 14-day Pro trial if you have not used a trial before. No card is required. When the trial ends, that Locker moves to Free unless you subscribe to Pro. Nothing is deleted.
Can I sell courses and event tickets on the free plan?
Yes, once your own Stripe account is connected and ready. Sell courses at a one-time price or sell a ticket that covers a whole event. Guests can buy tickets with a free Lockers account without joining your community. The Lockers fee is 5% on Free, plus Stripe processing.
What counts toward storage?
Images and other uploaded files use your file storage: 1 GB on Free or 25 GB on Pro. Uploaded video has a separate allowance of 120 minutes on Free or 1,200 minutes on Pro, shared across course and community videos. These are stored minutes, separate from viewing time. YouTube embeds use neither allowance. The owner sees a notice in Admin as file storage nears its allowance.
Can I charge for community membership on Free?
Paid membership requires Pro. It includes every course and carries a 1% fee on each membership payment, plus Stripe processing. To sell individual courses as well, run a separate free-to-join community; each community has its own plan.
Can I leave and take my content?
Yes. Owners can export supported community records and uploaded files as a ZIP from Admin. Private messages, private learning and Audience records, and billing data are not included. The ZIP lists each native video by reference and does not include the video file.
