Comparison
Natterio vs Facebook Groups
A Facebook Group is free and familiar — but it isn't a website you own. Posts get buried by the algorithm, people who aren't on Facebook can't find your information, and if the rules change, you have no control.

Quick, informal chat among members who are already active Facebook users.

Natterio vs Facebook Groups: FAQs
Should we replace our Facebook group with Natterio?+
Keep both. Facebook is good for reach and casual chat, so don't delete it. Make Natterio your club's real home — the website you own, where members and newcomers find everything — and link to it from Facebook.
Can members still chat like they do on Facebook?+
Yes. On the Community plan and above, your site includes a members forum with passwordless sign-in — the discussion of a group, but searchable, permanent, and free of the algorithm.
Is moving off Facebook complicated?+
No. Natterio builds your site in about 60 seconds, you add your content, and you point new and existing members to it over time. Your Facebook group can keep running while you make the switch.
