What happens if my group outgrows the free plan?

The free tier is limited to 100 members and 2 organisers per group. Pro removes the member limit entirely, allows 3+ organisers, and adds analytics and private groups.

Can I migrate my community from Meetup.com?

Yes. Radius provides migration resources ('Migrate from Meetup.com') and offers to help organisations currently using Meetup Pro or managing many chapters transition 'without paying more than you do today'.

Is there a discount for managing many groups?

Yes. The Network plan applies automatic discounts to the total invoice: 5% off for 50–99 groups and 10% off for 100+ groups, with no long-term contracts required.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Even the Free plan includes exporting group data as a ZIP, exporting member emails as CSV, calendar subscriptions via .ics, and API access.

Radius — Modern Meetup alternative for local groups and events

Radius is a modern community and event platform designed as an alternative to Meetup, Eventbrite, and Facebook Events. It allows users to find people with shared interests, join local groups, and participate in nearby activities.

The platform solves the problem of finding local connection by enabling hyper-local discovery. Users can quickly post spontaneous activities or start their own communities in minutes, making it simple to meet others for coffee, runs, bike rides, and more.

Key Features

Group creation and management

Create a group in about 60 seconds, invite members, and organise events. Free plans support up to 2 organisers per group.

Events with RSVP and waiting lists

Create and publish events with RSVP limits and a waiting list, event reminders, and scheduled emails.

Hyper-local activity posting

Post an activity with a time and place (e.g. 'cycling this Saturday in Edinburgh') and people nearby who share the interest can join. Posting takes about 30 seconds.

Activity feed and discovery

Browse groups across cities worldwide by category (e.g. Science & Technology, Arts, Community, Active & Outdoors) and see a live activity feed of new groups and events.

Calendar subscriptions and embeddable widget

Calendar subscriptions via .ics plus an embeddable events widget for websites.

Data export and API access

Export group data as a ZIP, export member emails as CSV, and use API access — available on the Free plan.

Private groups and analytics (Pro)

Pro plans add private groups, group analytics, more than 3 organisers, enhanced support, and automations (coming soon).

Multi-group organisation support

Organisations managing many groups get centralised group management, organisation-level billing, priority support, and automatic invoice discounts.

How It Works

Join or browse

Sign up for free, browse hundreds of groups by city and category, or see what's nearby and join events and activities. Joining groups and attending events is always free.

Post an activity

Post what you're up for with a time and place in about 30 seconds — e.g. 'doing this soon, others welcome' — and nearby people with the same interest can join.

Start a community

Organisers create a group in about 60 seconds, invite members, publish events with RSVP limits and waiting lists, and can migrate existing communities from Meetup.com.

Hyper-local activity feed for spontaneous, small-scale meetups beyond scheduled group events
Explicit migration path from Meetup.com with resources and help for large organisations to transition without paying more
