Pricing questions

Quick answers on prices, billing, trials, security and how the plans differ.

How much does Bettermode cost?

Starter is US$199 a month billed monthly (US$2,388 a year) or US$149 a month billed annually (US$1,788 a year). Growth is US$1,750 a month billed monthly (US$21,000 a year) or US$1,500 a month billed annually (US$18,000 a year). Premium is priced for your community, so talk to sales for a quote.

Annual billing takes Starter from US$199 to US$149 a month, a 25% saving, and Growth from US$1,750 to US$1,500 a month, about 14%. Annual plans are billed once a year.

What is Bettermode?

Bettermode is an all-in-one community platform: discussion forums, events, knowledge base and member analytics on your own domain. Marketing teams use it to turn customer conversations into search visibility, advocacy and pipeline.

How does a community generate pipeline?

Buyers show intent in the community before they ever fill in a form. They compare plans, ask migration questions and read the threads your customers wrote. Bettermode syncs that activity to HubSpot or Salesforce, so your team sees it on the contact record and can follow up while it’s warm.

How long does it take to launch a community on Bettermode?

You can set up a community yourself in minutes. If you’d rather have help, our team runs a guided launch that covers setup, structure and your first weeks live.

Can we migrate from Discourse, Gainsight, Circle or Khoros?

Yes. Our team moves your members, posts and categories across from your current platform and guides the process end to end, so you switch over with minimal downtime.

Does Bettermode integrate with HubSpot and Salesforce?

Yes, natively, on Growth and Premium. Member activity lands on the contact record in your CRM, and Bettermode also connects to Intercom, Zendesk, Slack and the analytics tools you already use. For custom workflows there’s a GraphQL API and webhooks.

What security and compliance standards does Bettermode meet?

Bettermode is SOC 2 Type II compliant and GDPR and CCPA compliant on every plan. Every plan also gets data residency in the US or Germany and 256-bit encryption at rest and in transit. JWT and OAuth2 single sign-on come with Growth and Premium, and Premium adds SAML for admins and moderators, a 90-day audit log, a 99.9% uptime SLA and the SOC 2 report.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. You can try Starter or Growth free for 14 days without a credit card. If you’d rather see Bettermode against your own use case first, book a demo with our team.

SAML single sign-onAvailable on Premium: Admins and moderators sign in through your company’s identity provider over SAML, so staff use the accounts your IT team already manages. Members sign in with social login, OAuth2 or JWT.
Data residencyAvailable on Every plan: Choose whether your community’s data is stored in the United States or in Germany for the EU. Bettermode is hosted on Amazon Web Services.
SOC 2 Type IIAvailable on Every plan: The whole platform is SOC 2 Type II compliant on every plan, covering security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. Premium customers can request the report from Sales for a vendor review.
GDPR and CCPAAvailable on Every plan: Bettermode is GDPR and CCPA compliant, and its data processing agreement also covers UK GDPR and PIPEDA, with EU standard contractual clauses. A cookie consent manager is built in, and OneTrust and Usercentrics connect on Growth and Premium.
Uptime SLAAvailable on Premium: Premium includes a 99.9% uptime SLA. Anyone can check live status and incident history for North America and Europe at status.bettermode.com.
Secure site embeddingAvailable on Every plan: Admins list the domains allowed to embed the community, so no other site can frame it, which protects members from clickjacking. Admins can also add custom security headers to harden the browser against common attacks.
Data encryptionAvailable on Every plan: Member data is protected with 256-bit encryption at rest and in transit, and every custom domain is served over SSL.
JWTAvailable on Growth and Premium: Your own application signs a token for a member who’s already logged in to your product, and Bettermode signs them in with it, so there’s no second login. OAuth2 single sign-on comes with the same plans.
