Ning allows you to create an affordable custom social network and can be a great platform for your fans and supporters to hang out and chat. NationBuilder does many of the things that Ning does, plus gives you a highly customizable public website, a social CRM and email and texting features. A key differentiator is that while Ning is a community platform, NationBuilder is designed to help a leader or leaders move volunteers and loosely aligned supporters towards a common goal. Ning is more about hanging out, and NationBuilder is more about action.

Anna, NationBuilder does not have Ning or Facebook-like groups. However, we now support “subnations” which are autonomous groups where basic supporter information is shared with a primary nation. You can read more about subnations here – http://nationbuilder.com/nationbuilder_subnations_empower_your_local_groups_with_their_own_nations

We have not built out a full group functionality, however, there is an ability to make sections of your sites available to members only.
