Tribe Reviews

What an absolute joke of a company. They raise their price to 499$ per month and if you have a free plan and don't upgrade they delete your site. I cannot say this any clearer: stear far away from building your new community on bettermode.

Bettermode has chosen to change their plan options, removing the free plan and raising the price of a subscription from $50 a month to $399 a month. There was no indication of this change happening when I made my account only 1.5 months ago, and in that time I've spent countless hours building my website around their product, expecting that I would be paying $50 a month. $399 is a ridiculous fee for a product that is not even flawless in it's usability or look - I would not recommend pay this price for this service.

Disgusted with Better Mode!

Created two communities and hoped for great things from the previous Tribe software now Bettermode.

There's nothing BETTER about it - here's why: I go away for a while, and return to find that one of my sites has been completely deleted from my account - I sure as hell didn't delete it!

This is not a reliable platform and I would reconsider other options first.

Came to Bettermode after having my platform "dormant" for some years when it was still "Tribe". Thinking Bettermode would bring better things, I
started again building the platform, but immediately after logging in to my community saw major issues.

I used to have an appsumo deal that offered all the following features as showcased below.

But after now the platform is "Bettermode", they are all gone. If I want now webhooks, I need to pay a whooping $199/month, CMS upgrade, another $99/month, Bandwidth Books, $199/month, so almost $500/month to run a community that I should have by default. I was expecting that at least the LTDs would be honoured and would just pay for new features, but this really feels a disappointment. I heard in Appsumo forum, that they delete all bad review posts of Appsumo customers, so it will just show that nothing changed and no care for customers, unless they can bring "new" money to the table, at least this post they can't delete.

I "love" how below in a comment Bettermode replies "Over the years, we have invested heavily in building a platform", would love to know how much "investment" was milked out of the Appsumo deals, and then leaving these people with nothing?
