What it is
GetSpot is a free Android and iOS app for organizing recurring sports meetups with limited capacity and a fee. Organizers can create groups, share join codes, manage members and schedule events with a date, time, location, capacity and fee. When an event is posted, members can be notified. Once places fill, additional registrations go onto a waitlist, and the next person is promoted automatically when a confirmed place opens. Organizers collect payments offline using methods such as cash, Venmo or Zelle, then credit group wallets; registration fees are deducted from those balances. Withdrawing before the commitment deadline returns the fee to a member’s wallet. After the deadline, the fee is forfeited unless someone on the waitlist takes the spot. Organizers can approve join requests, add or remove members, credit wallets and send announcements. Players receive push notifications about events, registration changes and reminders. Users sign in with Google or Apple. GetSpot says real payment details do not pass through its servers because payments happen offline.
