Vbulletin 5 vs Xenforo
I acquired a vbulletin 4 forum some time ago and I was now thinking of putting more time on it, the niche of the forum suits the mobile market. That's why I'm thinking of getting the vBulletin 5 Connect + Mobile Suite Bundle, it will cost me $359 though. I also like the custom IOS / android apps that is offered which I think will boost the forum.
Or I move away from vbulletin for xenforo which will cost me less but will take some more time to learn the UI and admin as I am completely new with xenforo. I also don't know much about the xenforo mobile version (3rd party solution / wrapper) other than what I read on the website.
Thing is I know many have a hate relationship with vbulletin and I also don't want to do a mistake picking the wrong forum solution. The web is also full of vbulletin 5 rants when it was young, but it sure feels like vbulletin 5 have matured by now.
Money is not an excuse so $150 or $200 more isn't going to change my mind as long as it is on par.
So, what do you say users of either forum, is vbulletin 5 good enough ? or is instead xenforo a good pick for the future?
My plan is to start with this in a few days when things clear.
