Xenforo vs IPB

[Ash]

I think I have to go with IPB because personally the themes for it are just so much more appealing and the number of mods available for it just make it the better option

IPB. Much more established, and their ACP is nice. Lots of cool features and add-ons as well. Although, XenForo does have a nice and clean look to it.

Xenforo is by far my favorite. I'll use IPB as a member, but I wouldn't want to run a forum on it. I love love love XF though and if I had the money to drop on it, I'd buy a license in a heartbeat.

I like both even thought I only had an IPB Licence. Some of you guys already know to the fact that i'm running IPB forum software on my website. There are so much plugins for this, and that what I like about it that it has "page" plugins, other words you can create anything that you want with it. ACP is so easy to go thought and so much options all in the one location, you can deal with google and advertisement and others like members and server settings.

IPB in my mind is the best at of all paid software, been using it since July and loved it ever since

Just an update for those that don't know, They have updated there website with way more new options then before and soon enough the next release of 4.1.9 patch will come out after the testing has been thought https://invisionpower.com/forums/ Yes whats' your thoughts on it now

Hey all,

What are your opinions on these two forum softwares? Which one do you think is better?

i prefer XF because
-It's affordable, cheaper than competitors.
- It works very well and very easily, for both users and administrators.
- It has some features to let people engage more often, such as a 'like' feature and getting a notification when someone quotes your message.
- Cool community, which can provide a lot of help.
- Some good addons available (for free as well) if you feel you're lacking certain features.
- Good developers that update often and with minimal issues.
- Easy to get themes and skins set up, and easy to customize colors.
