Considered Both Products	Disciple No answer on this topic	Discourse PR Padraic Ryan Community Manager Chose Discourse Vanilla's mobile functionality was downright awful and it felt like it was stuck in the 2000s. While they have similar features, Discourse blows them away in almost every department. We don't regret switching at all. Incentivized Helpful? David McCann Software Engineer Chose Discourse Discourse was primarily selected because it was open source and well-known by the team. Open source was a requirement for any tool we selected, and it is by far the easiest to set up, largest/most active contributor community and offers the best customer support. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Disciple	Discourse
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Discourse is perfect for communities and basically the best forum software out there. Wherever a forum would make sense, Discourse is probably the best solution. Having said that, small corporations with little external outreach have limited advantages with Discourse, since it's designed to facilitate discussions which happen at a slower pace while startups and small corporations will probably want to move faster with software like Slack.

Pros	No answers on this topic	It is a super-easy way for members to have online discussions Very easy to administer and moderate discussions The pricing is fair and the support is top-notch Incentivized PR Padraic Ryan Community Manager Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Unsure of how to use tags, since they are all lowercase and it feels a bit messy for a user-centric experience. Private Messages can be seen by Administrators, something which might not be clear to everybody. Mailing List Mode is very powerful but it's a bit tiresome to set-up consistently compared to the experience of the Graphical User Interface. Incentivized Elio Qoshi Creative Lead Read full review
