Compare · vs Facebook

Everything your Facebook group and Facebook Marketplace should have been, and you actually own it.

Your community, your members, your marketplace, your domain, your Stripe. Keep 100% of what you earn. No algorithm deciding who sees you. No platform that can delete what you built.

Five honest contrasts

What you actually get on each side.

Ownership

Facebook owns your group. Your members, your posts, your years of work live on their platform under their rules, and they can remove it tomorrow with no recourse. Mobieus is yours down to the database: your own isolated data, your own domain, your own branding. Nobody can take it, because nobody else holds it.

Reach

On Facebook, an algorithm decides which of your members ever see your posts. The people who joined to hear from you are shown what Facebook chooses. On Mobieus, the members who subscribed get what you publish. No feed in the middle deciding your community isn't worth showing.

Discovery

A Facebook group's knowledge is locked inside Facebook, invisible to search. The guides, answers, and threads your community builds can't be found by the next person looking for them. On Mobieus, your forums, wiki, and listings are indexed and searchable, so the knowledge your community creates brings new members in instead of disappearing.

The marketplace

Facebook Marketplace throws your members in with anonymous strangers and no accountability, which is why scams thrive and recourse barely exists. mobieusMarket is your members: known accounts that carry trade reputation, can be required to verify their identity, and answer to your moderation. Buyers and sellers who have something to lose behave differently than strangers who don't.

Honest disclaimer. Mobieus is not a payment intermediary and does not guarantee, insure, or escrow transactions. The marketplace reduces risk through reputation, verified identity, and owner moderation.

The money

Facebook controls any commerce in your community and you can't truly monetize what you built. On Mobieus, sales run through your own Stripe and Mobieus takes 0%. You keep every dollar minus Stripe's own processing. Your community, your revenue.

Security posture

Built security-first, so what you build can't be taken, leaked, or held hostage.

Owning your community only matters if it's safe. Mobieus is engineered to a professional security standard from the ground up. Every community runs on its own isolated database, so one tenant's data can never touch another's. Every action an admin or moderator takes is written to a tamper-evident audit log. Every file upload is scanned for malware and stripped of hidden payloads before anyone sees it. A full perimeter, web application firewall, intrusion blocking, request filtering, guards every community. We never touch your payment flow; your money moves through your own Stripe, not ours. You can export your data and delete your account on your terms. This is the part most platforms treat as a footnote. We treat it as the foundation, because it's the difference between owning your community and just renting a nicer-looking version of the same risk.

Creator Plus +

The platform helps run itself, and you stay in control.

Running a busy community is exhausting: moderation, welcoming new members, keeping people engaged. The Mobieus AI Community Manager drafts the work: welcomes, summaries, re-engagement, moderation recommendations, and nothing goes out until you approve it. The grunt work gets handled; the decisions stay yours.

Own it, don't rent it

Stop renting your community. Own it.

I'll personally set up your whole community: forums, mobieusMarket, knowledge base, on your own domain, for free, and you run it for 30 days at no cost. If it's a better home for your members, you keep it at the founding rate. If not, you walk and owe nothing.
