Choose an integrated, modular, and customizable community platform. Save resources to invest in community development.
Spectrum is a group communication software that was launched in 2017 by combining some of the elements of forums and messaging solutions. Essentially, Spectrum is like a hybrid of Reddit and Slack — companies can create groups on Spectrum where all the discussions would be threaded and indexed while organizing them in channels like Slack.
In contrast, Tribe Platform is a complete community solutions package that has been designed from the ground up based on the preferences of new-age social media users. As a community owner, you can use Tribe to build customer communities to improve engagement, collect feedback, and boost retention with a delightful social experience.
Also, Tribe allows you to customize the community with easy-to-configure DIY options — arrange the social elements, change the color combinations, merge with site navigation, and more. Apart from this, you can embed the community touchpoints in the entire customer journey via a host of integrations and pluggable widgets.
