No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    The WPManageNinja team is top-tier. I recently needed a specific privacy modification for a professional coaching client portal, and their support staff (Ruman Ahmed) went above and beyond to write a custom solution for me right away. I’ve formally submitted a request to their R&D team to turn this solution into a native core setting. Adding a simple, one-click “Stealth Onboarding” privacy toggle to force global username displays would make FluentCommunity the absolute industry standard for high-privacy niches, medical coaching, and enterprise portals. Plus, it takes the pressure off of newbies to the platform who do not have much tech experience, ensuring a seamless, worry-free signup right from day one. If you want a modern, fast community platform backed by a development team that actually listens to its users, FluentCommunity is it. Highly recommended!

    We have build our community for NibWP.com with FluentCommunity using our NibWP -FluentCommunity integration. The software is, as all other Fluent solutions, full with options, high level of configurability and integration options.

    At the risk of sounding liek Tina Turner. LOL! Fluent Community is better than all the rest! I have tried and tested so many community plugins. This is just amazing! My favourite is the integrations it has with FluentCRM and Fluent Forms. Well, the whole Fluent eco system. I have been able to automate so many functions! Saves me hours of time. Meaning I have not needed to hire a VA to help me run the comunity. Just amazing.

    I’ve had a great experience using the FluentAuth plugin. It’s easy to set up, works smoothly, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do without any headaches. What really stood out to me, though, was the customer service—absolutely outstanding. The support team was quick to respond, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful in resolving my questions. It’s clear they care about their users. Highly recommend this plugin to anyone looking for a reliable authentication solution!

    That really could be the whole review. EVERYTHING WORKS. It works well, it’s logically organized, attractive, well-documented, and it has multiple extensions so that you can create a robust membership community. The mobile version is outstanding. Save it to your phone’s home page and you wouldn’t know it wasn’t a native app. I’ve tried everything and this is by far the best out-of-the-box solution. If you’re looking at Circle, buy this instead.
