IPS or formely known as InvisionPowerBoard is one of the most used software solutions on the internet for boards, content managing, etc. They offer a stand alone licensed software solution or a cloud hosted by IPS solution, they seem to be changing more to cloud rather than self hosted forums. What is your experience with the software? Likes and dislikes ? Discuss the IPS software in this thread.

While IPS is not as popular as XenForo, I believe this is the best forum software if you are just starting out and do not have a lot of money to spend on the forum software. Xenforo is $160, vBulliten is $249 but IPS is $150, and renewal is just $40.

Forums are $150 indeed, but you need the core module which adds another $100 to the price if I'm not mistaking. Making XenForo cheaper.
I still have a license, although due to renewal, however you're not able to sell licenses anymore on IPS, which is kind of sad.

When I was trying to launch my frum about two years ago, I checked the price of various forum software and came to a conclusion that earning revenue on forums is really hard, and if you use premium software your start-up cost will be high and in the second year you will end up spending additional money from your pockets.

I really hate it personally TBH.
