# Community Platform Experience Report

> This comparative report assesses the end-member experience offered by Salesforce Experience Cloud, Personify Community and Patreon across accessibility, mobile use, personalization, consistency and perceived speed, while examining the practical journeys that matter: joining discussions, finding events and people, sharing knowledge, staying safe, returning regularly and paying. Salesforce offers the broadest enterprise configuration and moderation toolkit but asks implementers to make many experience decisions. Personify is closely aligned with associations and events, joining community activity to member data. Patreon presents the clearest consumer path from content to conversation to payment, though feature availability varies by surface. Threado, whose AI business was wound down in 2025, is included as evidence of the risks in depending on a management layer that does not own the member destination.

## Achievements

- Salesforce publishes formal accessibility conformance reports for Experience Cloud Lightning Web Runtime.
- Personify Community connects forums, groups, blogs, events, member data and mobile-optimized access for associations and nonprofits.
- Patreon reports more than 10 million fans paying for memberships each month, more than 100 million free memberships, more than 300,000 creators and over $10 billion earned by creators since 2013.
- Patreon combines monthly and annual memberships with one-time digital sales, chats, comments and creator content.
