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.

When building on

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.

When building on

BuddyBoss

You have flexibility, to extend the feature set using existing free and premium plugins, or even build your own should you come accross 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.

“If you want to work with a team that is organized and if you want to get the results you’re looking for, I absolutely recommend working with AppBoss.”

Adelaide Olguin

Founder & CEO at
TalkBox.Mom

“There are other services out there but none of them have the framework that these guys have created, that uses an API connection, right into the website. A lot of the cheaper options out there are more of the web wrapper type apps,, so it will open an app, but it’s just looking at a web page, in an app.“

Tim Topham

Founder at Top Music Co.

“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 , the experience and the standard that I was looking for…”
