Pro
Developed by a thriving social enterprise

Loomio development is led by a group structured as a worker-owned cooperative company, which is part of Enspiral, a mutual aid network of other social enterprises. As a result, both the Loomio code and the cooperative's hosted instance at Loomio.org are being actively maintained and developed, with new features being planned and deployed regularly.

Cons

Con
Monthly fee for extra features

You generally must pay a monthly fee to support a group with additional features, integration options, and memberships cap increases (however, unfunded community organizations can apply to use it for free, and non-profits with a budget receive a discount.)
