Real communities in the real world, but with online capabilities **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tamara B. | Technical Content Writer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Meetup Pro?** Meetup makes it easy to manage a community of people: a straightforward event scheduler that suits both free or paying meetings, a messaging system that allows the manager to contact one of the members, or everyone at the same time, an essential forum, to share discussions within the group. **What do you dislike about Meetup Pro?** The interface has been changed and improved, but the platform should have a better forum board.

It has event scheduling tools, messaging tools, contact systems, and a forum board. The board seems a bit old-fashioned to me, but it does its job anyway. I guess it's not the most necessary thing in this type of platform. **What problems is Meetup Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use it for a WordPress Meetup in my city. When the pandemic began, we couldn't have in-person gatherings anymore, but Meetup continued to be very useful to organize and manage our online events.

Only people willing to attend the meeting will receive it, and they need to send a positive RSVP, so you, as an organizer, are sure that only the people who have been invited and are part of the group will attend. ### 4.
