Unlimited for Life for early adopters

A little over two weeks remain in our early-adopter promotion. Anyone who joins NearbyGrid by August 31, 2026, receives Unlimited for Life for free.

If you know someone who would enjoy discovering nearby people, groups, and events, invite them to join while they can claim it too.

Free Unlimited for eligible group organizers

NearbyGrid began after our founder and his paddle boarding group found that other platforms could charge around $40 every month just to create a group and host events for roughly 10 people.

Nobody should have to pay just to bring people together. Community organizers are what make NearbyGrid special.

After the early-adopter promotion ends, eligible organizers with a NearbyGrid group of 10 or more members can apply for one free Organizer Unlimited account per organization.
