We never charge you to talk.
No paid hellos. No "see who viewed you." No paying to jump the line in a room. Venues and organizers never get your contact details — they see counts, not people.
Questions, answered.
They don't — Founding Venues are free while we open Dallas–Fort Worth; there's nothing to buy yet. If a paid venue tier ever launches, you'll hear the number long before we ask for it.
Yes. Joining a room, seeing who's here, chatting, saying hi and messaging your connections are free — forever.
An optional upgrade for bigger nights: rooms that last 12 hours, more rooms a week, your own room code, Early Doors, unlimited voice-note transcripts and six room theme packs. It's bought in the app through the App Store or Google Play.
$2.99 for 24 hours of GateMate+ — for one big night. It does not renew. Buy another and it adds 24 hours to the time you have left.
In your phone's own subscription settings — manage Apple subscriptions or manage Google Play subscriptions. Apple and Google handle all billing and refunds under their own terms.
Live Now is for partner venues and the hosts they set up, so the map only shows real places. Your private room works by code and QR, anywhere.
No — counts only. Venues and organizers see totals like check-ins and repeat guests, never your profile or contact details.
