Why People Are Leaving Meetup for Radius

Meetup has been around for a long time — but it's no longer the right tool for most grassroots organisers. High fees, declining discovery, and confusing UX are pushing people to look for alternatives. Radius is the modern answer.

Built for Community

Radius is designed for real-world gatherings — from local hobbies to city-wide festivals. It's simple, fast, and feels human.

Free to Use

No subscriptions. No event fees. Radius is free for local groups and community organisers, and always will be.

No Algorithm Walls

Radius doesn’t hide your events behind paywalls or engagement tricks. People find what’s nearby — no tricks, no ads.

Local-First Discovery

Events and groups are centered around real locations — not hashtags or trending topics.

Clean, Modern Design

A focused, distraction-free experience that just works — for both organisers and attendees.

For the People

Radius is independent, ad-free, and built by someone who just wanted a better way to bring people together.
