I like that I had the opportunity to buy a lifetime license, however, I don't even want to use it anymore so it was a waste. > > **Cons**: I think it's the theme and not Learndash itself. Only one to three pages are ranking on Google. I liked the old theme 'social learner' but they upgraded to a newer version which is not as good. I originally bought social learner even though it hadn't been updated in three to four years. I ended up changing it to the newest version even though I liked it less but the newest version had an app and was continuously updated. > > Good customer service although they didn't understand why my pages were ranking. ----- ### "Fantastic product\!" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *28 April 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and customer service. I had a bit of an issue, transferring my license over from one server to another and BuddyBoss was able to resolve my issue, swiftly and completely > > **Cons**: I really don't have any cons to speak of at the moment. The software is working fantastic and the customer service has been great. > > Buddy Boss is a robust and well-designed product in their customer. Support is second to none. Highly recommend\! ----- ### "Our TEST APP is live\!" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *19 February 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love that we can build our dream so easily\! > > **Cons**: We were not sure where to begin and what was the most important priority. > > \[sensitive content hidden\] was such a big help. He was very patient and helped us under stand what each setting meant and what its level of importance was. We ran into some technical issues and \[sensitive content hidden\] navigated us right through them. ----- ### "Be very clear on renewal pricing and basic site control" — 1.0/5 > **Kieron** | *12 December 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Feature-rich community platform Polished front-end experience Deep BuddyPress integration with other plugins > > **Cons**: High renewal pricing Limited transparency on total cost of ownership Essential branding controls tied to active license > > From a business perspective, pricing clarity and governance are the main concerns. The initial purchase does not adequately communicate the long-term cost of ownership, particularly renewal pricing. Once a site is built around BuddyBoss, switching costs are high, which makes upfront transparency critical. A notable issue is that basic branding actions, such as changing a site logo, are restricted without an active license — despite not requiring ongoing development, support, or updates. In practical terms, this can mean paying hundreds of dollars simply to maintain branding control on an otherwise stable site. This model may suit larger budgets, but smaller operators should evaluate it carefully before committing. ----- ### "The importance of quality in tools when working full-time." — 5.0/5 > **David** | *12 September 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The number of tools and solutions they offer. I like how they keep improving and increasingly considering the business logic for tools as sophisticated as WordPress. > > **Cons**: Communication with support seemed a bit complex at first, with no response for extended periods of up to 4 days, but it improved over time. > > I like the services they offer; the interface is intuitive. I would like more freedom to modify the topics, but they are functional for the needs at hand. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1036633/buddyboss?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1036633/buddyboss) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
