Live demo
BuddyNext is live. You can post to the feed, open a space, follow people and go into the owner admin, in a real community that belongs to you for the afternoon. Two ways in, and they suit different people.
Fastest look
Your own seeded community on its own URL, with owner access, in about a minute. Nothing to install.
Keeps what you build
The same software, on your hosting, with your members in your database. This is the one to pick if you are going to build something real.
Not ready to launch or install anything? Every screen is below, and the plugin source is public.
Once you are in
A sandbox you click around aimlessly tells you nothing. These are the five that answer whether the software is any good, in the order that gets you there quickest.
Write to the feed, add a poll, react to a post and reply in a thread. This is the surface members live in, so it is the one worth judging first.
Spaces are the rooms of a community. Post inside one and watch how the main feed changes. If you have used groups elsewhere, this is where the difference shows.
Following and For you are two different feeds, both built in. Follow two or three members and compare them.
You get owner access, so look at moderation, members and settings. Most demos only show you the member view, which is the half that never causes you trouble.
Delete a space, ban yourself, flood the feed. The site is yours alone and it is gone in four hours, so there is nothing to be careful about.
Or skip the signup
If you would rather not hand over an email to look at software, these are the real screens rather than mockups. Click any one to open it full size.
Straight answers
Where you are now
What you should do after the sandbox depends on what you are running today, so here are four routes rather than one button.
Then the fastest way to judge this is to use it. The sandbox spins up a real community you can post in, and you can throw it away afterwards.
The bill grows with your membership and the members sit on their servers. Moving is the part people assume is impossible, so it is worth reading what it actually involves before you renew.
Your members keep their WordPress logins, so nobody re-registers. The free BuddyNext Importer brings the rest across: members, profile fields, groups, activity, forums, media and private messages.

A full REST API ships in the free core, so a custom front end or an integration is a first-class path rather than a retrofit. The plugin source is public, so you can read it before you commit a client to it.

Great customer service. I have asked several questions about the website theme template I am using from them, and they have always been very helpful in their responses- answering all of my questions and in a timely manner.
Very impressed with the customer service and technical team. There were some misalignments after the theme update. The team responded promptly and provided fast technical assistance. Thank you again for your fast actions.
Varun is always generous with his knowledge and time. Thank you for all you are doing for weDIDit.Health!
A team member responded quickly and answered my question. Great customer service!
I worked with Varus and he was very friendly and cordial. He is an honest person and does what you ask of him. I recommend you 100%. I currently use the plugins that your company has used and so far they are working very well for me.
Camila Scot of Wbcom was helpful. I got a super prompt help with my BuddyX Theme. Although I am a free version user, I got irst attention. I am satisfied. I will eventually buy the lifetime version once we fully deploy it and we are sure it meets our need.
I've used several of their plugins. Occasionally support was needed but they were quite prompt in their support and solved the issue.
A plugin made a conflict and they fixed it immediately, great plugins anf great support.
