Frequently asked questions
The five questions we are asked most. If you cannot find what you need, the Safety Centre and the legal documents go into more detail.
How does PlanMEET work?
You share what you feel like doing that day as a plan — for example “a walk along the Kordon this evening”. People near you see your plan and send a request to join. You decide who joins. Once you match you can message each other and arrange the meet-up. Plans are temporary: they disappear from discovery two hours after they end.
Is it free?
The core features are free: creating a profile, sharing plans, discovering plans near you, sending join requests and matching. Reporting, blocking and the Safety Centre are always free and are never placed behind a paid tier under any circumstances. The PLUS and GOLD tiers raise the limits and add features; prices are shown through the store.
How do you handle safety?
Verification, ratings and blocking work together. Accounts that pass selfie verification carry a badge, and you can choose to interact only with verified people. After a meet-up both sides rate each other; ratings appear on the profile while who rated whom does not. Someone you block cannot see you in the feed, in messages or in search — blocking works both ways and takes effect immediately. These measures reduce risk but they are not a guarantee of a safe meet-up: we recommend meeting in a busy public place and telling someone where you are going.
How much of my location is shared?
Your precise location is never shared with any user. Your coordinates are stored offset by roughly 300 metres using a fixed, per-user offset vector; your real coordinates are never written to the database. Other users only see a band (“under 1 km”, “5 km”, “50+ km”) — no response ever contains a decimal distance. You can turn location sharing off entirely under Privacy and Security settings, in which case plans are shown based on city matching.
Why is there an 18+ limit?
PlanMEET is a platform for adults meeting in real life and is closed to users under 18. Your date of birth is requested at sign-up and accounts identified as under 18 are not created. Accounts reported as under 18 are reviewed and closed if confirmed.
