A Facebook alternative that answers to you, not advertisers
Most people don't want to leave their friends behind — they want to leave the ads, the ranked feed and the data harvesting behind. FrendFace is built for exactly that: the familiar things you actually use, funded by a dollar a month instead of your attention.
What a real alternative to Facebook needs
Plenty of apps call themselves Facebook alternatives and then hand you a stripped-down timeline. If you're switching, you need the parts you use every day, not a demo. FrendFace has them:
- A friends feed in plain chronological order — newest first, no engagement ranking.
- Photos and albums, with tagging that waits for the tagged person's approval.
- Groups for the interests, neighbourhoods and families you keep up with.
- Local and private, invite-only events with RSVPs.
- Direct and group messages, with typing indicators and read receipts.
- Stories that disappear after 24 hours.
- Yard Sale — a member-to-member marketplace for buying and selling locally.
- Reactions and threaded comment replies, so conversations stay readable.
FrendFace compared with Facebook
| FrendFace | ||
|---|---|---|
| Advertising | Ads and sponsored posts throughout | None, anywhere |
| Feed order | Ranked to maximise time spent | Newest first, from friends |
| Selling your data | Ad targeting built on your activity | Never sold or shared |
| New account privacy | Public by default | Friends-only by default |
| Price | Free — you're the product | $1/month — you're the customer |
| Photo tags | Appear first, review later | You approve before they appear |
Why a dollar a month changes the product
An ad-funded network has to know as much about you as possible and keep you scrolling as long as possible. Those aren't bugs; they're what the business model rewards. When members pay instead, the incentive flips: FrendFace only has to be worth a dollar to you.
That's why we can promise a chronological feed and no data sales in writing — there's no advertiser on the other side of the table asking for the opposite.
Who FrendFace isn't for
We'd rather be straight with you. FrendFace is a small, growing network — you won't find every acquaintance here yet, and it isn't a creator platform with a monetised reach algorithm. If you want a giant public audience, this isn't it. If you want a calm place for the people you actually know, it is.
