Project Life Mastery

I looked at Kajabi and Thinkific and Teachable and a variety of others, but they didn’t accomplish what I was looking for, they didn’t allow the customization and the experience standard that I wanted for my customers to be able to experience when they invest in my programs.

Hey College

BuddyBoss’s app product is such an innovation in the world of e-learning. Being able to offer students a mobile app, it’s not a perk really. It’s pretty vital these days for lots of reasons.

Over 50,000 customers trust BuddyBoss.

The WordPress Advantage

BuddyBoss is built on WordPress, an open-source platform, allowing you to have the flexibility,
control
and freedom that you need to launch and scale a successful online business, without being
held back by a closed system such as typical SaaS platforms.

SaaS Platforms

  • You are limited to the features that come with the software, making it hard to grow and improve.
  • You have little or no control over how your website functions. You are at the mercy of what the software owners decide.
  • You get stuck, and getting out can be very costly. SaaS platforms do their best to keep you locked in, so migrating to a platform you control can cost you thousands of dollars.
  • It’s hard to grow! Growth always comes with changes and improvements. If you can’t implement a new tactic you learned in the last conference you attended, or the last course you took, the software becomes a handicap to your growth.

BuddyBoss

  • You have the flexibility, to extend the feature set using existing free and premium plugins, or even build your own should you come across a unique scenario that is important for your project.
  • You have complete control over your website. Our software is open-source, which means you can modify, add to and make any changes to it.
  • You have freedom and options to host your site anywhere, to break free from us. Being on WordPress gives you lots of options.
  • As you grow, the software grows with you. You have the freedom to implement new tactics you learn, iterate and improve.
