I just received this letter from a Disciple saleswoman. Can you help me out and tell me why I should stay with Peerboard. I really want to, but I thought i should check this out.
Here are her comments:
-
Disciple is a mobile-first solution. There are other options out there such as Peerboard, MightyNetworks and Circle but they are all web-first solutions. Whilst Disciple also offers a web version, internet traffic is overwhelmingly trending towards mobile so we've focused on offering the best app based solution in the market. (Last time I checked, Circle doesn't even offer an Android version of the platform...People have been waiting for the release for a couple of years).
-
On Disciple students can get push notifications for every post on the community platform. Push notifications are one of the most powerful tools to engage your audience. Disciple also offers customizable push notifications which can target a sub-group of users based on custom user profile fields (Circle and MN don't offer this).
-
Mighty Networks and Circle are both considered 'aggregators' whereby an end user has to search for each community within the overall Circle /MightyNetwork. Disciple allows you to have your own branded, independent, stand alone app in the App Stores.
-
Disciple has a very familiar UI to that of Facebook, so it's extremely intuitive and easy to navigate.
-
Disciple has extremely advanced livestreaming functionality. Circle and Mighty Networks are in the very early stages of releasing livestream functionality. Disciple released it over 3 years ago and we've continuously iterated and improved it since then.
NB Disciple, Circle and Peerboard all have SSO integrations with Thinkific
