Guides
Running the front door of a Facebook group
Five guides on the part of group admin work that nobody writes about: the membership questions, the answers Facebook discards, and what to do with them before they are gone. Written for admins who approve people themselves.

Comparing the tools instead
Four other tools do a version of this job. Each comparison says what the other tool is genuinely good at before it says where we differ.
A Group Leads alternative, compared honestly
The category's most established tool. What it does well, and what leaving a browser open costs.
A Groupboss alternative, compared honestly
A low annual entry price and a long integration list, capped at 20 groups and billed every year.
A Group Collector alternative, compared honestly
Sells a subscription and a $297 lifetime licence. The price differs, the browser requirement does not.
A Group Funnels alternative, compared honestly
Set the $297 lifetime anchor for the category. What that buys and where the work still lands on you.
