Gainsight Customer Communities, sold as Gainsight CC, is built for software companies that treat community as part of customer retention. It gives customers one place to ask and answer questions, join groups around shared goals, follow product updates and suggest ideas for the roadmap, with no-code tools to shape the experience by product, role or region. Gainsight adds a moderation AI agent, AI answers and AI translation, a Developer Studio for building custom widgets, and an MCP server for working with community data from AI tools. The main reason to choose it is the connection to Gainsight CS, Skilljar and Gainsight PX, so customer success managers can see what customers ask and learn. Plans are Professional with 3 admin seats and self-service support, Business with 5 admin seats, all community products and CSM support, and Enterprise with 10 admin seats and custom integrations. Gainsight does not publish prices.
