Supremely vs Discourse

Discourse is the standard for large forums: battle-tested at massive scale, with the deepest moderation toolset in the business.

What Discourse is great at

Serious, large-scale discussion: trust levels, moderation, search and performance proven by some of the biggest communities on the internet.

Where Supremely differs

A forum is one piece, not the product. Supremely pairs durable discussions with member profiles, events, a website and blog, a newsletter and membership tiers, in one system.
Built for closer groups. Discourse shines with thousands of strangers. Supremely is shaped for communities where members know, or want to know, each other.
Ready in minutes. A hosted service with a short setup and a small surface to learn, made for organizers rather than administrators.

Which should you pick?

If you need a pure forum at serious scale, pick Discourse; it has earned its reputation. If your community forms around its members and the things they share, pick Supremely.
