Your community finally has its own place. Groupanda is a workspace for private communities: real-time chat organized into channels, with roles, moderation tools, and built-in membership subscriptions. All in one app. Stop stitching tools together. Running a community across a group chat, a social media page and a separate payment platform means fighting your tools instead of caring for your people. Important messages get buried. New members feel lost. And billing lives somewhere else entirely. Groupanda brings conversations, structure and member management into one calm place. CHANNELS, NOT CHAOS Every topic gets its own channel, so conversations stay readable. Someone joining a month from now will still find what matters. No more scrolling through thousands of messages in a single group chat. MEMBERSHIPS BUILT IN Run free groups or paid ones, with a single membership plan or several. A member subscribes and gets access automatically. No manual invites, no spreadsheets to maintain, no separate billing platform. Payments are processed by Stripe. YOUR GROUP, YOUR RULES You decide who joins, who sees what, and who can post. Assign roles: owner, admin, member. Hand off work without handing over control. NO ALGORITHM, NO ADS Every message reaches every member. Nobody filters your conversations. No ads between discussions. A private space for your people. EVERYTHING IN ONE APP Chat, channels, direct messages, file sharing, voice messages, photos, documents, member management, moderation and billing. In one place. FEATURES - Real-time chat organized into channels - Direct messages between members - Built-in subscriptions and billing (payments by Stripe) - Free and paid groups - Multiple membership plans, with channel access per plan, or one-time payment with lifetime access - Roles and permissions (owner, admin, member) - Moderation: ban and mute - File sharing (documents, photos) - Voice messages - Invite links to join in one tap - Member management panel - Billing overview for the group owner - Push notifications HOW IT WORKS 1.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Groupanda at none against Scapade's shown. Groupanda also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Scapade's advantage is iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
