Host an event
Host events, the easy way.
Post the pickup game, the dinner or the trail day in about a minute: the thing, the time, the place and the price. People nearby find it and pay to join, so they come. You get paid after.
Why host
Everything a host wishes the group chat did.
Real numbers
Everyone who joins pays their part up front. You book the court knowing who is coming.
No chasing money
Everyone’s share is collected before the plan and paid out to you after it. A no-show still paid their share.
Earn on paid plans
Set a host fee on top of costs. Paid after the plan, through Stripe.
Regulars
Turn a good night into a club with people who come back every week.
The right crowd
Set an age range, like 25 to 35 or 50 and over, a skill level, or keep it to people who reliably show up.
Your plan, your call
Remove anyone from your plan, and block them from your future ones. They are not charged, and the spot opens up.
You pick the price
Split the real costs, set an RSVP for a free plan, add a host fee for your time, or keep it free.
Backed by a real team
Report anyone from your guest list. A person reads every report, and people who cause trouble get paused.
What you can earn
Price it however you like.
You set the price. Free plans are fine: plenty of hosts just want the game to happen. You pick a small RSVP people pay to join, and you get 50% of it.
On plans with costs, put in the whole bill and it is split between the people going. Each guest’s share covers your costs plus your host fee, if you set one. Kept Plans adds a service fee on top: 10% of the share with a $2 minimum, or 5% with Host Pro.
Example: a $100 court split 10 ways
$15 per person
- $10 Court and expenses
- $3 To you, the host
- $2 Platform fee

Their share counts as their RSVP, so nobody pays on top. It is charged when the plan happens and paid out to you after, through Stripe.
Host levels
New host, Verified host, Top host.
Hosting opens up as you build a track record. The first plans are small on purpose.
New host
Your first three plans: public places, 12 people or fewer. You learn what makes a plan run well.
Verified host
Three plans run well and a verified identity. Bigger plans, paid plans, and plans at home for activities that allow it.
Top host
A long record of kept plans, good feedback and few cancellations. Your plans are shown to more people.
Your first plans
Rules for your first three.
They keep first plans safe and small, for you and for the people joining.
- Public places only: a park, a court, a restaurant, a cafe.
- 12 people or fewer.
- Post the real level, price and what to bring.
- Start on time and do the introductions.
- If you must cancel, cancel early. Nobody is charged.
Payouts
Paid after the plan, through Stripe.
You connect a bank account once, through Stripe. After each plan, you are paid out: the costs your guests paid their share of, your host fee, and your part of any RSVPs.
Nothing is paid out before the plan happens. That protects the people who joined: if the plan does not happen, nobody is charged.
- Your host fee, per person who joined
- Your part of each RSVP: 50%
- Costs your guests paid their share of, for the court or table
Host Pro
For people who host often.
$9.99 a month or $89 a year.
- 5% platform fee instead of 10%
- Recurring events and clubs
- Co-hosts
- Host analytics
- Message past guests
- First-timer credits
- Attendance lists to download
Questions, answered
Who can host?
Anyone 18 or over with a verified account. Your first three plans must be in public places, with 12 people or fewer. After that, hosting opens up as you build a track record.
Can I earn money hosting?
Yes. Your guests’ share covers your costs, like a court or lanes, and you can add a host fee for your time. On free plans, you get 50% of every RSVP. Payouts arrive after the plan, through Stripe.
What protects me from no-shows?
Everyone paid to join, so almost everyone comes. And when someone does not, their payment still covers their share of the court or the table you booked for them.
What is a minimum?
The fewest people a plan needs to work, like ten for soccer. If it does not fill by the cutoff, the plan closes and nobody is charged. Nobody shows up to half a game.
What if I have to cancel as a host?
Cancel from the plan and nobody is charged. Cancelling often or late affects your host standing, so if you must cancel, do it early.
When do hosts get paid?
After the plan, through Stripe, to the bank account you connect. Exact timing depends on Stripe and your bank.
What does Host Pro add?
A lower service fee (5% instead of 10%), recurring plans and clubs, co-hosts, host analytics, messages to past guests, and first-timer credits. It is $9.99 a month or $89 a year.
What is the service fee?
On plans with costs it is 10% of your share, with a $2 minimum, or 5% when the host has Host Pro. Kept Plans Plus members pay no service fee. Free plans with only an RSVP have no fee.
