Key takeaways
- Nas.com handles paid access, payments, content and messages around an existing WhatsApp group.
- Its home page now leads with AI marketing agents for small businesses, and its pricing page speaks to solo sellers.
- Circle and Mighty Networks offer paid memberships too, but on their own platforms.
- Milvao doesn't take payments. It adds private introductions between members.
What changed at Nas.com
nas.io now redirects to nas.com. The home page is titled AI Marketing Agents for Your Business and doesn't mention communities, and the pricing page is headed Plans for Solo Sellers. The WhatsApp page is still live: members stay in their existing group while Nas handles membership, payments, events and content, and owners can message members.
The free plan was phased out on 31 March 2026; businesses must subscribe to Pro or Platinum or are locked. Pro shows $20.75 a month and Platinum $66.58 beside a Yearly and Monthly toggle, plus payment processing fees by country. WhatsApp messages to members come from Nas's own account, with monthly allowances of 500 on Pro and 1,000 on Platinum.

Keeping members in WhatsApp
If the reason you chose Nas was that members stay in the group, the hosted platforms change that. WhatsApp Communities, Periskope and Milvao don't. Periskope suits a team that needs to read and reply across many groups, and lists Communities support as coming soon in its docs. Milvao suits a community whose members keep asking each other for contacts: requests go privately to the community's business number and introductions happen only with both people's agreement. See Milvao vs Nas.com.
Where Milvao is weaker
- Milvao takes no payments and doesn't manage paid access, events or a content library.
- It can't message all members at once.
- No chat between members: they reach each other through introductions, or Contact on someone who chose to be listed.
- English-only bot replies, Starter capped at 300 onboarded members, Meta's message charges on top.
- Early stage and focused on India; needs its own WhatsApp Business Platform number.
