uGetTogether is a site for coordinating group activities. From scheduling, to notifying your group's members, to allowing for discussions, to keeping track of no-shows, uGetTogether helps you get things done for your group. As the site grows, it will also help you grow your group and attract more people who share your interests.
uGetTogether has many advantages over other options for managing your group's gettogethers:
Greater controls for privacy to keep your members' information secure
Lower cost than the leading site (yes, even after our free period ends) Costs are based on active members, and does not include non-participants
Gettogethers can be hosted across multiple groups
Options for removing non-participants (people who join but do not participate in gettogethers)
Screening questions can be required to ensure members are a good fit for a gettogether, or a group
Gettogether templates allow for consistency as well as making creating gettogethers easier

My experience as an Organizer with uGetTogether after a few weeks: Very frustrating! uGT offers a promising alternative to Meetup; however, it is underdeveloped and does not seem to be making progress fixing obvious issues, although the email support is forthcoming and has given 1 or 2 helpful directions.
Issues: 1. uGetTogether is clearly California-based; I'm in Arizona and I don't think potential members will be using it to find my new uGT group's activities unless its range is broadened. 2. Although my new group is now registered with uGT, searching for it by name after 2 weeks: still "0 groups found." 3. The Interest Category of "Arts/Culture-Theater/Plays" was added, but when the interest Theater is searched for it is still "not supported." Therefore, my group cannot be found either way! 4. No notification to me as Organizer when people joined my group. 5. Editing the group's information has been confusing, requiring much trial & error. 6. A photo to illustrate a planned event was unable to be uploaded despite this ostensible feature being shown, although personal profile photos were able to be, for some people who just joined. All are members of our original Meetup.*
Major uGT plus: Organizer fees were automatically suspended until at least July (2020) due to the covid-19 pandemic, as we aren't actually meeting.
*Originally my group has been a Meetup since early 2013. It took MUCH hassle to be given a suspension of Organizer fees until September (2020), with an increase from $60 to $100 after that time, according to what I saw. Both issues prompted me to wish to leave M'up, and this has been generally supported by members.
But it is hard to say at this point whether we will actually continue with uGT, as it is disappointing so far. I'd like to be able to recommend it, but the issues really must be fixed! Which does not mean we will remain with Meetup.
