General

What is Huddle?

Huddle is a mobile app for planning and coordinating group events. Whether you're organizing a weekend trip, potluck dinner, or family reunion, Huddle brings all your planning into one place — menu coordination, expense splitting, voting, and more.

Who is Huddle for?

Anyone who organizes events with friends, family, or groups. Perfect for weekend trips, potlucks, camping, beach days, holiday gatherings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and any event with 3 or more people.

What platforms does Huddle support?

Huddle is available on both iOS (iPhone) and Android. Download from the App Store or Google Play.

Do I need an account?

Yes. You'll need to verify your phone number to create an account. This takes less than 30 seconds.

Is my data private?

Absolutely. Your events are only visible to people you invite. We don't sell your data, show ads, or share your information with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Pricing

How much does Huddle cost?

Core features are free forever. This includes menu planning, voting, bring lists, activity planning, carpool coordination, guest management, and updates.

Premium features cost $4.99 NZD per event (or equivalent in your local currency). Premium adds expense tracking, group chat, route maps, and custom event photos.

  • Menu planning with allergy warnings
  • Democratic voting (dates, locations, activities)
  • Bring list coordination
  • Activity planning
  • Carpool coordination (route maps in Premium)

Is Premium a subscription?

No! Premium is a one-time unlock per event. Pay $4.99 once, and that event has Premium features forever. Most events work great with just the free features.

Can I try Premium for free?

Not currently, but we may add a trial period in the future. Since Premium is only $4.99 per event (not per month), we wanted to keep pricing simple.

Features

How does menu planning work?

Add dishes to your event menu, tag them with meal types (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks), list ingredients, and mark allergens. Members can claim dishes so nothing gets duplicated. Built-in allergy warnings alert members about potential conflicts.

How does voting work?

Create a vote for dates, locations, activities, or anything else. Choose single choice (radio), multiple choice (checkbox), or ranked voting (Borda count). Optionally set a closing time for automatic results. Members vote, and results are calculated automatically.

How do expenses work? (Premium)

Track who paid for what and split costs evenly or by who ordered what. Huddle calculates who owes whom, minimizes the number of transfers, and provides one-tap payment links to popular apps.

What is household-based splitting?

Many couples and families share money. Huddle lets you split expenses by household instead of individual, so you don't end up with awkward $2.47 transfers between partners.

How do carpools work?

Post ride offers with departure location, available seats, and departure time. Riders can request pickups with their location. Premium users can view routes on a map to coordinate efficiently.

Can I use Huddle offline?

You can view existing event data offline, but you need an internet connection to sync changes or receive updates from other members.

Invites & Members

How do I invite people?

Share an invite link via text, email, or any messaging app. Or enter phone numbers directly in the app. Invitees will receive a notification to join.

Do invitees need Huddle installed?

Yes. They'll need to download the app and create an account to join your event.

Can I remove someone from an event?

Yes. Event organisers can remove members from the guest list at any time.

Account & Privacy

How do I delete my account?

Go to Settings > Delete Account in the app. All your data will be permanently removed. This cannot be undone.

Do you sell my data?

Never. We don't sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

What data do you collect?

We collect only what's necessary to provide the service: phone number (for authentication), name, events you create or join, and event-related content (messages, expenses, votes, etc). See our Privacy Policy for complete details.
