Guild's focus is on professional community. In particular, the conversations, connections, relationships and networking that are at the heart of any community. But what if you need other features and functionality, even a full membership tech stack?
We've created this post to recommend other technology platforms that we feel complement Guild well (and we'll keep updating it). We've chosen tech that we believe fits with Guild's own philosophy and approach:
- easy to use
- great customer support
- great value (often with a free version)
- focuses on doing a few things amazingly well
