Is Rabbit better than BuddyBoss or PeepSo… what’s the deal?

Review

Hi everyone, we’ve launched Rabbit, a plugin made to tackle issues with BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, and PeepSo. These plugins may look like social networks, but they’re just basic blog tools.

Check out our site for more info: https://rabbit.pw/

Let us know if you have any questions. :blush:

Looks good, but calling it ‘lifetime’ when you only get 6 months of support feels misleading.

Hi,

You can use Rabbit forever without restrictions. The 6-month period is only for updates and support. After that, you’ll still get compatibility updates.

Thanks for your feedback!

You said Rabbit solves issues with those plugins… what are those issues exactly?

Hi, BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, and PeepSo might seem like social networks, but they’re based on outdated blog features. They are slow, not designed for large-scale use, and lack key features.

For example, BuddyPress requires extra paid plugins to add messaging or stories, and even then, these features don’t fully integrate. With Rabbit, you get everything built-in, like real-time messaging, video calls, and stories, without needing tons of separate plugins.

Instead of patching together a system with extra costs, Rabbit provides a streamlined experience with better performance.

Hope this helps!

It looks interesting, but isn’t it too new to charge this much?

I don’t think the pricing is unreasonable considering the features, but I’d still like to see more reviews.

Fair point, but I feel like I’m the target audience, and I still have questions about its value.

We appreciate your feedback. Constructive criticism is welcome, but consistently negative comments can feel like harassment. If you’re part of a competing team, that’s one thing, but otherwise, it’s disappointing. Let’s keep things respectful. Thanks!

I appreciate your response, but I still have doubts about Rabbit. For example:

  1. Does it work with MemberPress?
  2. Can it integrate with ThriveCart?
  3. Is there support for Zoom?

Great questions! Rabbit has its own systems instead of relying on other plugins.

For example, it has built-in video and voice calls instead of needing Zoom. Rabbit Coin will handle subscriptions and spending without ThriveCart. Member management is also done within Rabbit itself.

Our focus is on building a true social media platform with features like real-time messaging, live streaming, and story modules. For educational tools like LearnDash, Rabbit doesn’t provide built-in options. Let me know if you’d like more details!

Thanks for the detailed answer!

Follow-up question: If I move platforms, will Rabbit subscriptions still work? And does Rabbit support drip-feeding content like MemberPress does?

How is Rabbit better than BuddyBoss?

The UI looks great. Quick questions:

  1. Can comments be indexed by search engines?
  2. Is there a directory to see all members?
  3. Does it work well with plugins like WooCommerce for subscriptions?

Hi,

  1. Yes, if you enable the ‘make comments act like links’ option, comments will be indexed individually. Titles are also supported but disabled in the demo.
  2. You can view members in the community’s members tab or through the wp-admin users section.
  3. Rabbit focuses on reducing reliance on external plugins. Features like Rabbit Coin (similar to Reddit Coins) will handle user limitations and payments. Using WooCommerce for highly interactive setups isn’t ideal due to performance issues.

Thanks for your interest!

That sounds interesting. Thanks for the info!

Is Rabbit related to bunny.net or does it just have a similar logo? :sweat_smile:
