Meetup alternative
Your group deserves a page, not a listing.
Meetup is a directory you rent space in. SocialZop gives your community its own page — with video, events people can pay for, and members you can actually reach — and it works whether you have four people or four hundred.
What you get that a listing cannot give you
The page is yours, and it can be found
Every group and every event gets its own page on socialzop.com with its own title, description and share card. It is a page search engines can read and people can link to — an address you hand out, not a listing inside somebody else’s directory.
Video, before anyone has to decide
A group page can open with a short video. Somebody deciding whether to walk into a room full of strangers gets to see the room first, which no amount of description text does for them.
Free or paid, with the ticket on the same page
Charge for a workshop, a class or a performance, or keep it free and just take RSVPs. It is the same page and the same list of people either way, so nobody is bouncing between a community tool and a ticketing tool.
The people are yours to reach
Members, a group board for updates, and direct messages. When you need to fill a room next month you are talking to the people who already came, not renting attention back.
Check people in at the door
See who said they were coming, who actually arrived, and who is in the room right now — on a phone, at the door, without a laptop.
Or hand the marketing to us
If filling the room is the part you do not want to do, that is a service we sell: we run the promotion and the outreach around your events. It starts with a call, not a checkout.
Who moves over
- Organizers whose Meetup group grew, and who now want the audience and the page to belong to them.
- Anyone charging for what they run — classes, workshops, ticketed nights — who is tired of one tool for the community and another for the money.
- People whose work is visual: DJs, instructors, performers, makers. The video is the pitch.
- Groups that keep meeting. The page gets stronger every time you add an event to it.
Bringing a group with you
Start the group here, put the page link where your members already are, and run your next event on it. The people who show up are on your list from then on. Nothing has to be imported, and nothing breaks on the platform you are leaving while you do it.
It is free to start, and free to keep a community free. You only deal with payments when you decide to charge for something.
Want us to fill the room?
The software is the easy half. If you want the promotion, the outreach and the press handled for your events, book a call and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
