Best for social networks inside WordPress
PeepSo adds profiles, groups, chat and a feed to a WordPress site, free with paid bundles from $149 a year. The free version shows a Powered by PeepSo badge, and you host it yourself.
Who PeepSo is for
- Fits if you run WordPress and want a member social network
- Works for course sites that run LearnDash, Tutor LMS or MasterStudy
Who PeepSo is not for
- Skip it if you don't want to host a site, as it runs only on self-hosted WordPress
- Tight if you stay free, because removing the Powered by PeepSo badge needs the Community bundle
- Watch out: site counts and a Lifetime option change the price, and only the 1-site yearly prices were readable
- Watch out: renewals are not refundable, and staging sites use a license seat

Keep PeepSo, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of PeepSo you could make: online courses and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 83 of the 98 other course and community platforms we grade. It costs $149 a year.
What you could make
- Online courses and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, LearnDash, Tutor LMS and MasterStudy LMS among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. PeepSo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
