Think of it this way: if Nudj were a mall, your organization would be your business lease and admin office, while your communities would be the actual storefronts where customers shop. As Plato wrote, “The beginning is the most important part of the work”—and your community structure sets the foundation for everything that follows.

Organization

Your business accountTeam management, billing, global settings. The backstage stuff that keeps everything running.

Communities

Where users actually goChallenges, rewards, leaderboards. The fun experiences your users see and interact with.
Most people care about communities (that’s where the action is), but you need an organization first because someone has to pay the bills.
Your org might only have 1 community — and that’s totally fine. You still need to understand the difference because some settings live at the organization level (team, billing, integrations) while others live at the community level (challenges, rewards, members). Knowing which is which saves you from looking in the wrong place.

Real Examples

Marketing Agency: One organization called “Creative Spark Agency” might run communities for “Nike Summer Campaign”, “Startup Pitch Contest”, and “Holiday Social Challenge”. SaaS Company: “TechCorp Inc” organization could have “Beta Testing Program”, “Customer Onboarding Journey”, and “Annual User Conference” communities. The pattern: One business account (organization) manages multiple user experiences (communities).
