Why people who run things look past Bettermode

[1] Bettermode also says it helps customers move users, content, and structure from an existing community platform. [1] Its page describes drag-and-drop tools and states that no developers are required. [1] It says it is SOC 2 Type II compliant and supports GDPR. [1] Ongoing support after launch is described as including strategy and best practices. [1] Those are the points to test against each option below, because a tool that fits one team's setup may not fit another's.
