Organize an event with friends without chasing anyone

Léa organizes a chalet weekend: €360, 3 spots. Sofia and Thomas sign up through the link, and the app tracks the pot and reminds Thomas so she doesn't have to.

A date, a place, a price. Everyone sees what they owe, you see who has paid. Spots, waitlist and sharing are the app's job.

Free · iOS and Android · an event is created inside one of your groups.

What the event handles for you

The four things that always go wrong when ten people organize something.

  • Price per person or total price

    Set a price per person, or a total that the app divides among attendees. Everyone's share goes into the group's accounts, so it counts alongside the debts already running. An event can also be free.

    Everyone sees their share

  • Limited spots, automatic waitlist

    Ten spots, twelve keen people: the last two go on the waitlist, in sign-up order. If someone drops out, the first in line takes the spot automatically and gets a notification.

    Automatic promotion

  • Shared pot and payment tracking

    You see in real time who has chipped in and who still owes. The app tracks the payments, it never handles the money: you mark what you received, and everyone sees the same total.

    Who paid, who still owes

  • Guests without the app

    Someone without the app can be added to the event by the organizer: their seat is counted, their share too, and they claim their profile the day they install the app.

How it works

From creation to the share link, in four steps.

  1. Create the event

    Inside one of your groups: title, date, place, cover image. Then the price — per person, total, or nothing at all if it's free.

  2. Open the spots

    Set the number of spots if the venue is limited. Beyond that, the waitlist takes over on its own, in sign-up order.

  3. Track the payments

    Everyone sees what they owe. You mark what you received, the total updates for everyone, and the shares go into the group's accounts.

  4. Share the link

    For people outside the group, the app creates a share link: they can see the event even without the app, and you can revoke it whenever you want. One more tap and the date lands in their calendar.

Special events

Two formats that exist only because the app can also draw lots.

  • The team match, drawn at random

    Sunday football, pétanque, karting: from the event, the app draws the teams at random among the attendees. Nobody picks, so nobody argues. During the game the score lives in the app, and every goal is credited to the player who scored it.

    Random teams · live score

  • Secret Santa

    A group admin creates the party, sets the exclusions so couples never draw each other, then runs the draw. Each person only discovers who they are gifting; the organizer keeps an overview, marked as a spoiler, to sort out a latecomer. After that the gift is tracked with photos, from the idea to the wrapped parcel.

    The season runs from November 1st to December 25th. Secret Santa is already in the app: it opens on November 1st, in the Events tab.

    The season is open until December 25th: Secret Santa is waiting in the Events tab of the app.

Frequently asked questions

Create the event in the group, then pick a price per person or a total to divide among attendees. Everyone sees their share, and that share goes into the group's accounts: at the end, the app says who owes what to whom, with nobody redoing the math.

The BillFighters pot tracks the payments, it never handles the money. People pay you the way you usually do, you mark it in the event, and everyone watches the same total go up. No account to open, no fee taken.

The extra people go on the waitlist, in sign-up order. As soon as an attendee drops out, the first in line takes the spot automatically and gets a notification. You never have to arbitrate.

From the event, the app draws the teams at random among the attendees, then keeps the score during the game. And if you want to decide who pays for the drinks afterwards, one of the app's games settles it: the group first votes on the rule — winner pays or loser pays.

Your next event, without the spreadsheet

Create a group, invite your friends, start the event. Shares, spots and the pot are the app's job.
