More than BuddyX Pro
If BuddyX Pro answers "give me a community", Reign answers "give me a platform."
Same agency, same engineers, same code quality. The two themes solve different problems. BuddyX Pro bundles seven free plugins so a founder can ship a community out of the box. Reign trades that bundle for twelve specialised add-ons sold separately, deeper customiser, branded login, niche-specific demos, and layouts tuned for marketplaces, LMS, jobs, and directories.
| What you get | BuddyX Pro | Reign |
|---|---|---|
| Customizer panels | 8 panels | 16 panels |
| Community surfaces themed | 10 surfaces | 20 surfaces |
| Login popup | Yes | Yes, plus branded wp-login + social login |
| Site layouts | 3 community niches | 6 niche demos (community, LMS, marketplace, jobs, directory, membership) |
| Header variants | 3 | 5 |
| Integration add-ons | 7 free plugins bundled | 12 paid add-ons à la carte or bundled |
| LMS support | LearnDash, LifterLMS via base BP | LearnDash, LifterLMS, Tutor LMS, Sensei add-ons with dedicated layouts |
| Marketplace support | WooCommerce store | WooCommerce + Dokan + WCFM + WC Vendors add-ons |
| Job board | Generic post type | WP Job Manager add-on with branded listings |
| Directory builds | No | GeoDirectory add-on with maps and filters |
| Dark mode | Yes | Yes, with full custom dark palette and per-visitor toggle |
| Mobile bottom nav | No | Yes |
| Brand fit | Bundled stack works out of the box | Pick the add-ons you need, scale to enterprise |
| Best for | Founders starting their first community | Builders running multiple communities, agencies, marketplaces |
Want to start small? Get BuddyX Pro at $79 a year. Need a platform? Buy Reign starting at $99 a year.

Before you buy

Are the add-ons required?
No. Reign runs a complete BP or BB community on its own at $99 a year. Add ons à la carte at $39 each, or get the Reign Bundle at $179 (Theme plus every add-on included; saves $271 a year vs buying each separately).

Use the PeepSo build at /downloads/reign-peepso-theme/. Same theme, layouts tuned for PeepSo data.
