Alternative to Facebook Groups

A private group. Without the social network.

Facebook Groups are built for a big platform: accounts, suggestions, adverts and a feed that is not always in order. AmongFolk is invitation only. Your folk see what you shared, in the order it happened.

01 / Why people look elsewhere

You wanted a group. You got a platform.

Private Facebook Groups still sit inside a social network. People need a Meta account. Posts can feel ranked. The product around the group is built to keep attention, not to keep a small circle quietly up to date.

  • Invitation only, with no public address

    Nothing posted in AmongFolk has a public web address. There is no group search for strangers, and no staff screen for browsing your posts.

  • Chronological, not algorithmic

    The day arrives in order. Photos, replies and plans stay where you left them, so grandparents and friends can catch up without wondering what they missed.

  • No adverts, no trackers

    AmongFolk does not show advertising networks, third-party trackers or session replay. The homepage privacy promises are the product contract, not a slogan.

Family, friends and small clubs

Share everyday photos, vote on a date, keep a bring list, and put birthday messages in a guestbook. Free covers the essentials. Plus adds voice notes, albums, date polls and more for one group.

Larger real-world groups

Clubs, teams and neighbourhoods of 30 or more can apply for a year of Plus. Same private product. One host. Everyone else joins free.

Plans

Start free. Bring everyone with you.

One person hosts. Everyone they invite joins free. Current prices for Plus and Together are shown in the app.

Free

The everyday essentials

Up to 8 people, 500 MB of shared photos and video, notes, replies, reactions, one-off events and the weekly digest.

Plus

One group, covered

Room for 100 people and 50 GB. Add voice notes, date polls, recurring plans, albums, recommendations, recipes and traditions.

Together

Up to five of your groups

Up to 250 people per group, across up to five groups you belong to. All the Plus features, with 50 GB for each group.

Try Plus for 30 days, with no card and no automatic charge.

02 / Be honest

When a Facebook Group is still the better choice

Stay on Facebook if you need…

  • A very large community, open or closed, with hundreds of people
  • Public discovery, pages, Marketplace or events tied to Facebook Login
  • People who will only ever open Facebook, and will not install another app
  • Moderation tools built for big, partly public communities

AmongFolk is for private circles of family and friends, and for small clubs that want the same quiet treatment. It is not a public community platform.

A few things you might be wondering

Before you leave the social network behind.

Is AmongFolk a social network?

No. There are no public profiles, no follow button and no discovery feed. You create a private group and invite people you already know.

Do people need a Facebook account?

No. AmongFolk is its own app. People join with the invite you send them, on iPhone or Android.

Who can see what we share?

Only the people in that group. There is no public address for posts, and no staff screen for browsing photos, videos or voice notes.

Can a club or team use this?

Yes. Book clubs, supper clubs and Saturday teams fit well. Qualifying social groups of 30 or more can also apply for a year of Plus on the for groups page.

Life, a little closer.

Want a group that stays private?

Create a group, invite your folk, and keep everyday life off the social network.
