Do I need a Reign add-on to use Jetonomy?

No. Reign add-ons exist because third-party engines need styling the theme does not ship with. Jetonomy is ours, so the theme already knows its templates. Buy Reign, install the plugin, and the pages come out looking like the rest of the site.

Yes. The free version gives you spaces, threaded discussions, Q&A with accepted answers, voting. It is a working plugin, not a trial. Pro adds moderation queue, reputation, private spaces, and analytics from $69 a year, and it is optional.

What do I actually have to buy?

The Reign theme, $99 a year or $249 once for a single site. That is the only required purchase in this pairing. Jetonomy installs free on top of it, and its Pro plan is a separate decision you can make later or never.

Can I use bbPress instead?

Yes. bbPress, Discourse and Circle are a common way to do this, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What you get by starting with Jetonomy is one team behind the theme and the plugin, so the design and the feature are never two vendors pointing at each other.

I already run BuddyPress or BuddyBoss. Does this still work?

Reign styles that stack too, and always has. Keep the engine you know. The BuddyPress Community Bundle collects our Pro community plugins for it into one licence, from $249 a year or $699 lifetime.

The pieces / Forums and Q&A

Reign + Jetonomy

Discussions that belong to the site, not to a plugin.

Jetonomy handles the conversation: spaces, threads, questions with an accepted answer, voting. Reign handles typography, spacing, and layout, which is most of what makes a forum readable rather than exhausting.

Reign theme

Jetonomy Community forum and Q&A for WordPress

Jetonomy installs free and inherits the theme's design. Pro is a separate decision you make later.

You buy: Reign theme, $99/yr
Jetonomy: Free to install
Styling add-on: Not needed

What Jetonomy does, free and paid

The line between the two is the same for every one of our plugins: the free version runs a real site, and Pro is for the point where that site starts earning.

Free version: Spaces, threaded discussions, Q&A with accepted answers, voting.
Pro adds: Moderation queue, reputation, private spaces, and analytics.
Pro from: $69/yr

One site, starting price. Compare every plugin free against Pro.

How the two fit together

Reign styles Jetonomy out of the box. There is no bridge plugin, no compatibility add-on, and no CSS you have to write to stop the plugin pages looking like a different website. The same team builds the theme and the plugin, which is the whole reason it works this way.

In practice that means spaces, thread lists, single discussions, and answer pages inherit the Reign design system: the same type scale, the same spacing, the same colors you set once in the customizer.

This pairing usually shows up on support forums, question and answer sites, and discussion spaces attached to a product. Add the other pieces that site needs and skip the rest, because each plugin is separate and almost all of them install free.

The other way to do this

bbPress, Discourse and Circle cover the same ground, and plenty of good communities run on them. We are not going to hide that.

Reign does not sell a styling add-on for bbPress, Discourse and Circle. What it sells is a theme whose design system already covers our own forums and Q&A plugin, so the pages you are building are styled the day you install Jetonomy rather than the day you finish styling them yourself.

The honest summary: either route can work. This one keeps the theme and the feature under one roof, which is mostly a support question. When something looks wrong, there is one team to ask. How buying works.

Another way in

Already running BuddyPress or BuddyBoss?

Reign styles that stack too. Keep your engine and add our Pro community plugins in one license.
