What is a hangout planner?

A hangout planner is a tool that helps a friend group turn a vague "we should hang soon" into an actual scheduled plan — by making it easy to agree on a day, vote on a place, and confirm who's coming, all from one shared link instead of a group chat that goes nowhere.

GetTogether is a free hangout planner built for casual friend groups. Whether you're organizing a low-key game night, a last-minute weekend brunch, a spontaneous movie night, or an overdue friend catch-up, the steps are the same: drop a few date options, share the link, let friends vote, and lock in the plan in under two minutes. No one needs to download an app or create an account to vote.

How GetTogether gets your friends to actually hang.

  1. Pick dates everyone can do — Add 3–5 date options, share the link in the group chat, and watch votes come in. The best day is highlighted automatically.
  2. Vote on where to hang — Add a couple of spots — someone's place, a local bar, the pizza spot you've been meaning to try. Friends tap their pick. Done.
  3. Decide what you're doing — Optional: add activity polls (board games vs. movie, bar vs. house party). The AI can suggest options if no one can decide.
  4. Confirm everyone's in — One-tap RSVP. You see exactly who's coming, who's out, and who needs a nudge — no more "I think everyone's coming?"

Hangout planner FAQ

  • Is GetTogether free to use as a hangout planner? Yes. The Free plan is $0 forever — 1 event per month, up to 5 guests, polls and RSVPs included, no credit card needed. Hang out more often? Starter is $2.99/month (or $29.99/year) for 3 events a month, event chat, custom themes, and saved friend groups.
  • Do my friends need to download an app or make an account? No. They tap your link, vote on dates and places, and RSVP — all from their mobile browser. You're the only one who needs an account to create the hangout.
  • How do I get everyone to agree on a day to hang out? Add three to five date options when you create the hangout and share the link. Everyone votes yes, maybe, or no on each one, and GetTogether highlights the date with the most support so you can lock it in — no endless back-and-forth in the group chat.
  • Can I use it for last-minute hangouts? Absolutely. Set up a poll in under two minutes, drop the link in the group chat, and friends can vote from their phone instantly. Votes usually come in fast once the link hits the chat.
  • What's the best free hangout planner app? GetTogether is built specifically for casual friend-group hangouts: date polling, place voting, one-tap RSVPs, and optional AI activity suggestions — all from one shareable link, with no app download required for guests.
  • How is it different from just using a group chat? A group chat is for talking; a hangout planner is for deciding. GetTogether collects votes on dates and places, tracks RSVPs, and surfaces the winning option automatically — so the hangout actually gets confirmed instead of dying in a thread.
  • Can I use it for virtual hangouts? Yes. Set the location to a video call link or leave it flexible. The date poll, RSVP tracking, and shared event page all work the same for virtual hangouts as for in-person ones.
  • How many friends can join a hangout plan? Unlimited. Free plan supports up to 5 guests per event; Starter and Pro have no guest cap.
  • What if people can't agree on a date? The poll makes it clear. You see exactly who voted for what — and who hasn't voted yet — so you can see the best option at a glance and nudge the stragglers before picking.
  • Can I use it for recurring friend hangouts? Yes. Create a new event each time in under two minutes. It's quick enough that recurring game nights, monthly dinners, or weekly catch-ups don't feel like overhead.
