Hi, I have a single male betta and want to have a lively little 10 gallon community tank, WITHOUT FROGS... what can I add?

Platys are good, so are otocinclaus, and mollies. I have never had any problems with platys I'd go with them. Just amke sure that your thank is heavily planted and big enough to house all of the fish

you can add:

- snails: mystery snails, MTS, nerite snails etc.
- shrimp: depends on the betta but less colorful species like ghost shrimp and amanoshrimp generally work, I have them with my betta.
- A group of kuhlI loaches or other similar sized bottom dwellers. Cories usually need more than 10g

You might be able to add a small schooling fish like harlequin rasbora's or small tetra species but I personally think 10 gallon is too small for that.
