Can you clariy, the headline say all-in-one so does this aggregate messaging from Facebook, Slack, SMS, GroupMe, etc. or are you just saying that it's all the different forms of communication in one app?
Hey guys - massive congrats on a remarkable looking product! I am literally just reviewing my community options as we speak over the last week and was weighing up circle or mighty but now you guys have thrown a very deliberate spanner in there!
I'd love to know what the main points of differentiation are if you are happy to share - why choose you over them (intended in the nicest non confrontational tone possible!) x
@murraymuzz Hey Daniel, thank you! Glad we caught you in the nick of time and appreciate the question. The biggest difference is that Circle and Mighty focus on one type of interaction: asynchronous, forum-style posts akin to a Facebook Groups. On Geneva, you can use that same style of asynchronous post rooms, PLUS real-time chat rooms, group audio and video rooms, and broadcast rooms (which are a bit like private Instagram live or Clubhouse with video).
@murraymuzz building on @rightbackatyu's point - we've found that the ability to mix and match these different communication types creates a more dynamic space. And of course, unlike those platforms, Geneva is totally free to use!
You can read our introductory blog post for more details (https://geneva.com/blog/hey) and if you'd like, feel free to reach out to Kim, our Head of Groups & Communities (kim@geneva.com) to learn more and/or to see all of the above in action!
@rightbackatyu great answers thank you - makes lots of sense.
Next question - are there paid/unpaid versions of joining the community? Couldnt really see that option in any obvious way...
And whilst I have you is there like a public landing page experience you could send people to so to speak....
Oh and finally - does this sit separately to websites/brands or can it be integrated with shopify/squarespace etc as an extension of the brand experience?
Thanks!
PS: Totally appreciate you cant make it all things to all use cases so sorry for some of the nuanced questions here but in case you've not guessed - brand owner here! I did read your whole post of who's using it etc but all the links link to their websites, not their community spaces so its kind of hard to see how those are run....
@murraymuzz Hey Daniel, a couple responses:
- Yup, built-in entry fees are coming this summer so leaders will have the option to do a paid model.
- Yes: today, when you share an invite link to your Geneva home and someone clicks it, they'll see a mini-landing page that shows your home's name, details, and list of rooms inside. Toward the end of the year we're planning to make public-facing home landing pages even more robust and pair them with custom (vanity) domains.
- For now, Geneva groups sit separately from third-party payments and vendors, but we're planning to launch a membership API (likely through Zapier) in Q3 or Q4.
We completely understand (and hear from the groups on Geneva today!) that brands really value customizability and a space that looks and feels on-brand, and are working hard to make that happen :)

@rightbackatyu ...thanks Austin, that a good news, but I guess at the moment it's not a whitelisting as such, is it?
I'm looking for a complete "package" so I could potentially move "desktop" community to a mobile version.
@rightbackatyu@richzalan Hi Richard – I see. I'm not sure we support the exact type of white-labeling you're looking for yet, but if you'd like to learn more or have more specific questions, feel free to email Kim, our Head of Groups & Communities (kim@geneva.com) to learn more about the customization features that are in the works. Thank you for your interest and support! ❤️🌼
This seems neat! I can't actually sign up, either on the android app or the website. The website gives me an error that my phone number "is not allowed from Republic Wireless - Bandwidth.com - Sybase365" @justinhauser anything I can do to actually register?
@justinhauser@zkanfer Hi Zachary! While we don't allow Google Voice and other VOIP phone numbers by default (to mitigate spam and trolling), we make exceptions and whitelist people who are legitimate and their actual phone number happens to be powered by Google Voice, Republic Wireless, etc. Sorry for the trouble, please send us a note with your username and phone number to support@geneva.com and we'll sort this out! Thank you for your support! 🚀

What makes your product different from Slack and Discord, which are very similar in nature?
The interface is great and the app looks easy to use.
Thanks @brandmast3r! There are a bunch of differences already, and you'll see us continue to move in different directions over time too. While Slack was created for corporate workplace communication and discord for gamers, we designed Geneva from the ground up for social groups, clubs, and communities. Unlike Slack which charges a monthly fee per user (or offers free version with limits on functionality and message history), Geneva is totally free to use. The other big difference is that on Geneva, there are 5 different ways that people in groups can interact: synchronous chat, asynchronous posts, group voice/audio, group video hangouts, and audio/video broadcasts (which are like an instagram Live and/or "clubhouse with video"). Slack is only real-time chat and Discord only chat + voice/video and voice broadcasts. And last but not least, Geneva has a bunch of built-in tools that help groups stay tight-knit and vibrant: 'new member surveys' are like a built in typeform that lets leaders gather info about new potential members, roles & permissions let you control who can do what in your space, and Geneva's built-in events calendar makes it really easy for groups to plan virtual and IRL events together!
Looks like your app is a little bit broken Monday 20210524 3:32pm PST ??
user profile not updating? … you prolly know already, but heads up. 😃
@justinhauser
Thank you so much for the catch @rowemore and sorry to have inconvenienced you. We're on it. Please let me know if you experience any other issues with the app. We are grateful for your consideration and your feedback :)

Been using Geneva to keep in touch with my friend group for awhile now - been a breathe of fresh air really compared to other group messaging apps we had tried before. Looking forward to what's to come!
