Features

Power your social networking ideas.

SocialEngine is a feature-rich white label social networking application built to support almost any concept.

White-label software

Complete control and 100% ownership.

SocialEngine gives you a simple, unbranded network that you can customize in any way. You’ll have the freedom to maintain fine-grained control over all aspects of your site and content.

No “powered-by” branding.

SocialEngine helps you build a community that's unique to you, with absolutely no "powered by" links or "SocialEngine" branding presented to your members.

Keep your content

Your community's content is yours to own. Unlike most hosted services, SocialEngine never prevents you from moving your community or serving your own advertisements.

Fully unencrypted source code

Self-hosted

SocialEngine is hosted on your own server where you have complete control over your community. Need technical help? We can install in for you.

Flexibility to implement your community concepts.

SocialEngine makes diverse styles of social networking possible. You decide how your community members will connect, share, and interact with each other on your site. See all Core Features »

Multiple social frameworks to choose from

Choose from two-way friendships (e.g. Facebook), one-way followers (e.g. Twitter), verified/unverified friendships, and more. Add sub-networks to group your members by university, workplace, location, age, gender, or anything else.

Drag-and-drop Content Management

Use SocialEngine's built-in, visual drag-and-drop CMS to arrange content, customize widgets, create whole new pages, and place advertisements. Import new widgets or develop your own with our guides.Activity Feed

Membership levels and moderators

Create multiple levels of membership in your community to give some members access to special content or extra privileges. You can also assign moderators to help you maintain your community and remove unwanted content for you.

So far, I have been able to get my site up and running in 12 months with a small budget. If I had started from scratch I don't know how long it would have taken or how much it would have cost.

Quote from customer

I just wanted to thank you guys for producing one of the best products I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I have purchased many pre-packaged solutions, but never one as well thought out and supported as SocialEngine.

~ Ron

Quote from customer

Thank you for your answer. I am starting to understand more about how the system works. Shortly said; all the positive reviews you have got has a good reason. We are impressed and just purchased 2 more licenses for some other sites.

Quote from customer

I appreciate it and look forward to building the worlds first garage sale network with your awesome software. I tried 7 other "social Programs" and chose you, I mean socialgo, dolphin, etc... good work, keep it up.

Quote from customer

Just wanted to say thanks for such an outstanding product. We just re-launched our website (www.mitosis.com) yesterday using socialengine and a custom widget we're internally calling "Likked-it" (as a play on reddit). Looking forward to all the improvements you guys have been showing peeks of.

~ Simon (http://www.mitosis.com)

Quote from customer

You guys have a great product. I tried many other products and SE4 is by far the best. Your group should be very proud of your work; and your customer service surpasses others as well.

Quote from customer

Check out what we did with SocialEngine 4. We integrated a "deal" component, among a TON of other cool stuff (custom album/video tweaks, notifications, search functionality, etc.). A killer design brings it all together! It's called Pawsley and we were recently featured in TechCrunch and TIME.com. Overall, SE has been AWESOME. Fantastic job and huge thanks!!!

~ Mike Pacifico (www.pawsley.com)

Quote from customer

Thanks for making such a great product. SocialEngine has come to mean a lot more to me than social networking software. SocialEngine is an opportunity.

~ Karlos (http://flagstamp.com/)

Quote from customer

Your company is top notch, and Social Engine is the best social networking script available. I can't thank you guys enough for this great script. I tried numerous other scripts and IMO they are decades behind Social Engine. I recommend this to script to anyone who is serious in starting a successful Social Networking site.

~ Rick Von Ruden
