    Who is Vbullitin's Closest Rivals In Forum Software?

    Hello all,
    I have previously made use of free hosting and yet I noticed that Vbulletin forums always get loads of traffic and followers.
    But what other forum software tries to compete with this mega website? Are Vbulletin the greatest forums in terms of seo?
    Because you guys are certainly not the cheapest! But I feel you are the best for SEO purposes and my future business plans.

    I personally believe that XenForo is vBulletin's closest rival but many will disagree.

        Invision Power Board
        Simple Machines Forum
        phpBB
        XenForo
        ProBoards
        ZetaBoards
        UBB.threads
        PunBB
        IceBB
        MyBB

        Along with many, many others. Any competing board software can be considered a rival to vBulletin.

              With regards to forum software, I believe the closest rivals are IPB and phpBB.

                XenForo
                I could sell you my unused vB4 Suite license, but I'm not so cruel...

                  I read somewhere vbulletin's fiercest competitor was Wordpress, so maybe bbpress (as lacking as it can be).

                      Definitely XenForo. When it comes to forum softwares, it can't get any better than Xenforo, I'm glad I made the move.

                        IPB. They are a worthy competitor.

                          Don't trust those xenforo advertiser, they get paid for spreading this all over the web. vBulletin is hopefully still the leader in forum community software.
