Compare duno with the tools you know
Every tool is good at something. These pages explain, as fairly as we can, what each one does well, what duno does differently, and when you should pick the other one.
duno vs Facebook GroupsFacebook Groups are where many communities start. duno networks offer a separate, ad-free space at your own address, with approval-based membership and posting controls. Here's how they differ and when each makes sense.
Discord alternativeDiscord is excellent for real-time chat and voice. If your community also needs posts that don't scroll away, a public page people can find, and member profiles, a duno network can sit alongside it — or replace it.
Slack alternative for communitiesSlack was built for teams at work, and many communities borrowed it. If your community needs a lighter way for members to join, a feed people can catch up on, and a public page, a duno network may suit it better.
WhatsApp groups alternativeWhatsApp groups are perfect for small, close groups. When dozens of people join, announcements get buried and everyone sees everyone's phone number. A duno network is built for that next stage.
LinkedIn alternativeLinkedIn is the biggest professional network. duno puts professional profiles, a free jobs board and community answers next to the social side — groups, events, networks and friends — in one free account.
Nextdoor alternativeNextdoor organises neighbours into areas it defines. On duno, you create a network for your street, building or village, decide who is a neighbour, and appoint moderators who live there.
Meetup alternativeMeetup is built for discovering events. duno gives organisers free groups with events and RSVPs, live chat, and a network for the community between events — without organiser fees.
Linktree alternativeYour duno profile at duno.com/@yourname can be the one link in your bio: your links, who you are and what you do, plus posts, followers and a way to message you — free.
Mighty Networks alternativeMighty Networks is built for creators and brands who sell memberships, courses and events. If your community is free to join, a duno network gives you approval, moderators, a feed and your own address — at no cost.
Circle alternativeCircle is a polished community platform for businesses and creators, with courses and paid memberships. If you need a free space where you approve members, run a feed and appoint moderators, a duno network covers that.
The short version
duno is free, gives your community its own address at duno.com/net/your-name, lets you approve every member, and keeps profiles, jobs and Q&A in the same place. It has no voice chat, no paid memberships and a smaller audience than the biggest platforms.
