ToGather vs Kommunity: choosing a Turkish community platform in 2026
Kommunity pioneered pay-when-you-earn for Turkish communities. Here's where ToGather goes further, and where Kommunity still leads.
Kommunity is the platform every Turkish community organizer evaluated at least once. The 5%-on-earnings pricing model is genuinely clean. So this comparison is the one we owe Turkish organizers the most honest version of.
We'll tell you where we go further, and where Kommunity still leads.
Pricing parity, different bets
| Kommunity | ToGather | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform fee | 5% on earnings | Single-digit % goal (target parity) |
| Monthly fee | $0 | $0 |
| Payment processing | Stripe (~2.9% + fixed) | Iyzico |
| Tier structure | Single tier, transparent | Single tier, transparent |
| Custom enterprise | ✓ | ✓ |
Both bet on the same model — no monthly subscription, take a cut when organizers earn. The difference isn't pricing strategy; it's what you get on top.
Six languages vs. two
Kommunity's homepage is English-first. Their product supports Turkish, but the international play hasn't materialized.
ToGather is built for organizers who serve mixed-locale audiences from day one. English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian — every event page, every email, every error message. A Turkish community with German alumni gets one platform instead of two.
Map, gallery, badges — the event surface
The atomic question: what does an event page actually contain?
ToGather event pages ship with:
- Native map for in-person events — your attendees' location data stays out of Google's pipeline
- Photo gallery at the channel level (event-level binding is on the roadmap)
- Speaker drag-and-drop reordering with proper swap semantics
- Sponsor section with custom tier assignment (name your own tiers)
- Badges and certificates with their own profile tab on the attendee side
- Comments with threading, recent-first, mobile-three-dot menu
Kommunity has events. ToGather treats the event page as the surface that makes the event a thing.
Monetization SKU parity (the honest read)
Kommunity ships these in production today:
- Paid memberships (recurring)
- Event ticketing
- Sponsorships
- Advertisements
- Job listings
- Donations
ToGather ships event ticketing, paid memberships (subscription type + frequency), and sponsorships today. Advertisements, job listings, and donations are on the roadmap. We're behind here, and we'll say so.
What we ship that Kommunity doesn't surface publicly: revenue tracking with cancellation/refund/bulk-add exclusion math, an organizer panel that breaks out sold vs. cancelled vs. organizer-added tickets, a balance you can withdraw with bank details on the channel.
What Kommunity still wins
Native iOS and Android apps. ToGather is web-first today. We're investing in PWA + push notification before native, but Kommunity's mobile presence is a real gap to close.
Job listings and donations as production SKUs. We have them on the roadmap; Kommunity has them shipped.
Brand history in Turkey. Kommunity has been in the Turkish tech community lexicon since 2018.
What ToGather wins
Six locales. A public changelog and roadmap at /now where we explain what we're shipping and what's coming next. Map-native event pages. Sponsor tiering with named placements.
The path forward is honest: we're going to keep shipping. The CHANGELOG keeps growing. If you want a platform whose roadmap you can read, this is it.
