- Make Your Laws: main site .. wiki .. Google+
proprietary / centralized
- Deliberator: very similar to Liquid Agenda, but more heavily moderated and produced
- Kialo: similar to debate mapper
- Loomio: "a user-friendly tool for group decision-making. Creating a world where it’s easy for anyone to participate in decisions that affect them." Subscription is pay-what-you-like; looks like interaction may be limited to "groups".
- Participedia "open global knowledge community for researchers and practitioners in the field of democratic innovation and public engagement."

- WikiVote "Russian non-governmental organization which goal is to develop effective means of citizens’ participation in lawmaking and strategic planning"
- The Spark "Users post and vote on PROBLEMS that we face as a global community. The most popular problems are voted to the top. Users then post and vote on SOLUTIONS so that the community can take ACTION." - sounds similar to liquid agenda
