Meetup Starter offers new and would-be organizers a way to try their hand at community management in a lightweight environment. This free plan can help ease first-time organizers into the Meetup experience with a sampling of the tool’s core benefits, as follows:
- 1 group
- Up to 2 in-person events per month
- Up to 10 attendees per event
- In-app communications via Group Discussions and Event Comments
Starter vs. Standard—which plan is right for you?
Meetup Standard is still our primary plan for organizers—it includes all the tools needed to manage up to three different groups and host an unlimited number of events every month.
Meetup Starter is a simplified version of the Meetup Standard organizer experience. As it’s designed to ease new organizers into event management, it focuses on just the essentials.
Compared to Meetup Starter, the Standard plan offers organizers greater power and flexibility. With Standard, you have the following benefits:
- Up to 3 groups
- Unlimited events and attendees
- The option to host in-person or online events
- The ability to create recurring events
- Tools for selling tickets or collecting membership dues
- Access to more powerful communication features, such as emailing group members to promote events
If you’re seeking a complete management tool, Meetup Standard is likely the better choice.
For truly unlimited Meetup capabilities, we also offer Meetup Pro—see how Meetup Standard and Pro compare.
Fostering a richer Meetup experience for everyone
By providing new organizers with a simplified option, we hope to make Meetup’s ecosystem richer with an ever more diverse range of organizers, groups, and events. We look forward to welcoming our new Starter organizers to the Meetup community!
