What Bettermode is
Bettermode is web software for running an online member community. Its listed tools cover event hosting, private spaces, custom domains, and moderation. The Starter plan allows 10,000 members and five collaborators, while Growth allows 25,000 members and 10 collaborators. Premium is listed for 100,000+ members and 20+ collaborators, but no price is provided. Starter costs $499 a month when billed monthly, and Growth costs $1,750 a month when billed monthly. The listed starting price is $399/mo (annual), and a 14-day trial is available. There is no free plan. Bettermode runs on the web, with no mobile apps listed. The maker, Bettermode, is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Plan selection therefore depends on member capacity, collaborator needs, billing term, and whether the community requires the larger Premium allowance.
