What is the best premium forum software?

[Jason]

I can't really say cause I have only used Xenforo as a buyer. Well, some deciding factors on this topic might be price and upgrade price. Who are a better deal in this regard?

Oh, you can have more than one choice as the overall answer to the basic thread question.

The major problem of Xenforo is release updates or upgrades mean a week you can not opt-out for 3 or 4 releases updates during the weak like version 2.6.1 to 2.6.2 to 2.6.3 and the disable of the update isn't recommended.

For my forum, I use Woltlab Forum software. It's really easy to use on a phone, and it's even better than Tapatalk. Of course, it's not free, but it's well worth it.

VBulletin is the premium forum software I know about. It has the option to host the forum software yourself, or through their affordable and reliable cloud hosting. This forum program can be set up in 15 minutes and it’s built with SEO and security features so you don’t have to worry about sorting that out yourself. It also has an AI-powered user engagement feature to help your community grow organically. Additionally, it has mobile-ready out-of-the-box. The mobile experience is even automatically optimized. So, your online community will be displayed well across all devices and desktops.

It depends on the users' preferences. I see XF being used more than anything else, therefore, I believe XF is probably the best premium software.
