What is Bettermode?

Bettermode is a customizable community platform that enables users to build unique customer communities.

- Premade templates make it easy to build a community with spaces for common use cases.
- Design Studio allows customers to visually build unique communities using blocks such as CTA, announcement bar, posts, members, and leaderboard. Premade templates can be customized using the design studio.
- Tight third-party integrations with close to 30 apps (including Zapier) allow users to merge the community workflow with the tools they already use.
- Native apps such as Cookie Consent and Custom Code Snippet allow users to extend the power of the community.
- Embeddable widgets allow users to add social elements of the community inside their product or site. For example, the vendor says some SaaS clients have added a knowledge base and discussion board inside the product to offer contextual help and deflect support tickets.
- White label option (paid plan) gives users control over brand-ability to make the community completely their own.

Whenever we have a question about Tribe or a support request, Tribe is always helpful. There is nothing better than getting a quick response from CS team. The only con I can see at this time is that users cannot send private messages to other users at this time. In addition to being able to leave comments on one another's posts, you are not able to send messages directly to each other. Tribe provides different app plugins like Amplitude, Sendgrid, Telegram, Google Analytics, SSO, Zapier, and more, all of which are very easy to use and require only a little bit of technical knowledge to put into practice.

Tribe is way cheaper and simple.

Tribe [Community Platform] is being used by both staff and those who are interested in our organization and credentials. For staff, Tribe [Community Platform] allows us to create a private community in which we can share articles and connect. For the community as a whole, Tribe [Community Platform] allows members to connect with one another and ask questions that are not necessarily customer service related.
  • Ability to create Secret/Private Groups
  • Premium Features - unlimited community members, custom URL
  • Tracking active users, reputation score
  • Spam filters
  • Banning bot accounts
  • Increased ability to use HTML
During COVID-19 Tribe [Community Platform] allowed non-profit organizations to utilize the premium features for free which was a great benefit. It has helped us utilize our community in order to answer questions rather than having an abundance of support tickets. Tribe [Community Platform] needs to increase spam filters and bot accounts however, as many of the community's are overrun with them. I manually remove these accounts each week.
