Alternatives to Disciple
Other Customer communities vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Disciple does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 23 that differ from Disciple on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Disciple has 8 gaps in what we could measure: Data location stated, Status page with history, Public pricing, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change, Named privacy contact. The column “publishes and Disciple does not” is the one that closes them.
