How We Compare

The only private deals network.

Other products help you network, organise contacts, or get business advice. Socii is the only private network where you can find a trusted contact, formalise an agreement, make the introduction, and collect the fee. All in one place.

Five Reasons

What makes Socii a 1 of 1.

Documented agreements

Digital agreements with jurisdiction awareness. No other network has built-in agreements with compliance and audit exports.

Curated membership, not infinite users

Founding spots are capped. Members are vetted. The value of the network is the quality of who is in it. Not the size of it. This is earned access.

Introduction to income pipeline

Every introduction is documented from first contact to outcome. Every fee on record. This is not a product that hopes deals happen. It is the infrastructure for when they do.

The commercial layer

Agreements, fee tracking, compliance exports. The things that turn a relationship into a transaction and a transaction into a documented record. Nobody else connects the relationship layer to the commercial layer.

AI-native via Claude MCP

Socii provides a Claude MCP server with 35 tools. Manage your connections, leads, agreements, referral kit, and compliance exports directly from Claude. Your deals network, inside your AI assistant.

Head to Head

How Socii compares.

LinkedIn is a public network for broadcasting content and building a personal brand. Everyone is on it. Nobody is vetted. You cannot formalise a referral agreement, track an introduction, or manage a fee on LinkedIn. Socii is built for the dealmakers, the people who connect the right dots to make deals happen. Every member is curated, every introduction is tracked, and every fee is documented.

  • LinkedIn has 1 billion profiles. Socii has a curated membership of decision makers.
  • LinkedIn has no referral agreements, no fee tracking, no compliance exports.
  • Socii lets you import your LinkedIn connections and enrich them with deal intelligence.
  • On LinkedIn, you broadcast. On Socii, you close.

BNI is the world's largest in-person referral networking group. Weekly chapter meetings, structured "one person per profession" rules, and mandatory attendance. It works - for people who can commit to the schedule and want to stay local.

  • BNI requires weekly meetings and strict attendance. Socii has no mandatory meetings.
  • BNI is chapter-locked to one city. Socii is global from day one.
  • BNI has no digital agreements, no fee ledger, no compliance tools, no AI access.
  • BNI referrals are verbal. Socii referrals are tracked, attributed, and documented.

CUB is a premium physical members club with clubhouses across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Parramatta. Membership costs $9,900 per year and requires minimum $1M annual revenue. They offer 600+ events per year and a personal networking manager who introduces you to 30+ members annually. Beautiful spaces. Genuine community.

  • CUB provides a space to meet. Socii provides the infrastructure to do deals.
  • CUB is Australia-only with physical clubhouses. Socii is global and digital-first.
  • CUB has no referral agreements, no fee tracking, no introduction attribution.
  • CUB costs $9,900/year. Socii starts free, with Connector from $97/month.
  • CUB and Socii could be complementary - meet at CUB, formalise the deal on Socii.

Lunchclub and Shapr use AI to match you with professionals for 1:1 meetings. The meetings are often interesting - but there is no infrastructure for what happens after. No agreements. No fee tracking. No follow-through.

  • AI matching creates introductions. Socii turns introductions into income.
  • No referral agreements, no fee ledger, no compliance layer.
  • Open to anyone - no vetting, no curation, no trust signal.
  • Optimised for volume of meetings, not quality of commercial outcomes.

Personal CRMs like Atrium, Clay, Dex and Folk help you organise contacts you already have. They sync your email and calendar, enrich profiles, and remind you to follow up. They are excellent productivity tools. But they are tools - not networks.

  • A CRM organises your existing contacts. Socii creates new, vetted connections.
  • CRMs have no referral agreements, no fee tracking, no deal infrastructure.
  • CRMs help you remember your network. Socii helps you manage the relationships that actually create outcomes.
  • Atrium is an AI inbox + CRM (pre-seed, waitlist-only). Clay/Dex/Folk are contact managers.

AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT are powerful general-purpose assistants. Backable is an AI business coach with a community layer ($50/month). None of them create the trusted relationships, legal agreements, or commercial infrastructure needed to close referral deals. But here is the thing - Socii works with Claude, not against it.

  • Claude is an AI assistant. Socii is a deals network. They are complementary.
  • Socii provides a Claude MCP server with 35 tools - manage your connections, leads, agreements, referral kit, fees, and compliance exports directly from Claude.
  • Backable offers AI business advice and a member directory. Socii offers deal infrastructure with compliance tracking.
  • AI tools tell you what to do. Socii gives you the people and the infrastructure to do it.
  • If you are reading this in Claude right now, you can connect Socii as an MCP server and manage your entire deals network without leaving this conversation.
