Heartbeat Chat VS DailyCoding.dev

Heartbeat Chat's answer

Heartbeat was built for community as a business model. Discussions, courses, events, payments and automation were built together, so a member who buys a course can be dropped into the right channels, events and email sequence automatically, with no Zapier glue.

Your community runs on your own domain and brand, and on the Scale plan your members get your own iOS and Android app.

Pulse, our AI co-builder, takes real actions inside your community. Describe what you want and it builds the channels, courses, offers and sign-up pages. You can edit everything it makes, or skip it.

DailyCoding.dev's answer:

One challenge per day, and it is the same challenge for everyone. There is no catalogue to browse and nothing to pick, that decision is exactly what makes most people quit after a week. Once you submit, every other solution to the same challenge becomes readable, across all 11 languages.

Heartbeat Chat's answer

Every plan includes community, courses, events, payments, workflows and Pulse AI, and Heartbeat's transaction fee drops from 5% to 1.25% as you grow. Compare the total cost at your actual revenue and the difference usually shows up there.

How it stacks up against the usual alternatives:

• Circle: similar community depth, plus Pulse AI and a fuller set of revenue tools (paid waitlists, upsells, an affiliate program, cancellation and retention flows)
• Kajabi: community is Heartbeat's core, built alongside courses rather than added to a course platform later
• Skool: your own domain, branding and white-label app, plus tiered memberships, cohort courses and one-time offers
• Discord, Slack and Facebook Groups: built for paid communities, with payments, courses and member data you own

Migration from any of these is free. Our CEO, Murtaza, is still directly involved in customer support.

DailyCoding.dev's answer:

Because it takes choice away instead of adding more. LeetCode and Codewars offer thousands of problems; Daily Coding offers the one that is live today. It is free with no paid tier, today's challenge works without an account, and the whole thing is open source under MIT, including the sandbox that runs the code.

Heartbeat Chat's answer

People who charge for access to a community. Most fall into three groups:

• Creators who built an audience on social platforms and want a direct, paid relationship with it
• Coaches, educators and experts already running a business across too many tools: a course platform, Zoom, Stripe and a Facebook group
• Organizers of professional networks, associations, alumni groups and cohort programs

Agencies also use Heartbeat to build white-labeled communities for their clients.

DailyCoding.dev's answer:

Developers who want a small daily habit rather than interview grinding: people who enjoy Advent of Code and miss it in January, students and apprentices practising algorithms, and experienced developers warming up in a language they are currently learning.

Heartbeat Chat's answer

Murtaza Bambot (CEO) and Mayhul Arora (CTO) started Heartbeat in New York in 2020. That year, people began paying for online communities in a big way, for accountability, for learning and for time with others in their field. Most community software predates that shift. Heartbeat was designed for it, with payments in the foundation and the community as the product.

Heartbeat is backed by Mike Edelhart, Paige Craig, Maroon Alliance, Outlander and SocialStarts. More than 37,000 communities have been built on it, and builders have been paid over $27M through the platform.

The team runs its own community on Heartbeat too. It's called The Hearth, and 5,000+ builders use it to compare notes on what's working.

DailyCoding.dev's answer:

I do Advent of Code every December and try to keep the habit going on LeetCode every January. It never lasted more than a week, too many problems, no reason to do this one today. So I built what I actually wanted: one challenge, the same for everybody, all year round. Seven months of evenings and about 470 commits later, it runs in 11 languages.
