Meetup alternative

No monthly organizer fee

Meetup charges organizers a recurring subscription to run a group. Sochely is free — no plan, no card on file, no cap on members.

Public discovery built in

Your event gets a beautiful public page, gets indexed by Google, and shows up in Sochely’s city discovery feed.

Ticketing when you need it

Most meetups stay free, but when you want to charge for a workshop or paid talk, ticketing is built in — no third-party plugin required.

Frequently asked questions

Do my members need a Sochely account?

No. Members RSVP with one tap. An account is optional.

Can I run recurring meetups?

Yes — duplicate any past event in two taps and the AI keeps your branding consistent.
