"I brought in Halyard to move my Northbound operators community off a patchwork of social groups and into Halyard Studio. The team was patient and quick through the whole migration, and I can already tell this is a real step up for the 3,140 members we have today."

Frequently asked questions

Why choose Halyard Studio?

Halyard Studio is a turn-key, fully branded app that ships with concierge support — and without the enterprise price tag. The platform underneath is the same feature-rich, genuinely pleasant home your members already know.

Other community platforms offer something similar, but they cost more and ask more of you. Custom-built apps let you make anything you like, and they are expensive to build and heavier still to maintain — especially without engineers on payroll.

With our design services, done-for-you migrations and a dedicated strategist, you are unusually well positioned to grow both audience and revenue.

How much does Halyard Studio cost?

Plans start at $429 per month billed annually, which covers design, migration, both store listings and ongoing maintenance. Pricing scales with member count — your strategist will map it out on the walkthrough call.

Will I have full control over my community, content and data?

Yes. Your members, posts, courses and payment records belong to you, and a full export is one click away at any time. We never contact your members on our own behalf.

How do the exclusive design services work?

After the kickoff call our design team builds an icon, splash screen, type scale and color system from your existing brand. You get two full revision rounds before anything is submitted to the stores.

What kind of migrations do you offer?

We move members, posts, course libraries, file archives and active subscriptions from most major community and course platforms. Anything unusual gets scoped in week one so there are no surprises later.

What are the higher product limits that come with Halyard Studio?

Studio plans include 180 spaces, 40 admins, 120 moderators, 90 live-stream hours a month and 2 TB of file storage — roughly four times the standard tier.

What does concierge support refer to?

A named strategist who runs your launch, joins a standing monthly call afterward and answers in a shared channel within one business hour during your working week.
