Founding spots

Get in before we open and hold that rate for as long as you stay subscribed. Browsing meets stays free either way.

What Gearz costs

These are the regular plans. Your first club starts with a 14-day free trial, card required. A founding spot gives your Club its first year of Starter Club for $49, then $49/year while it renews, against the $99.90 a year below. Cancel and the founding price is gone.

Ticket fees: Gearz charges the fee shown for your plan on each paid ticket. Stripe charges its own processing fee (currently 2.9% + $0.30in the US) on top of that — Gearz does not collect it.

Why plans, and not just a cut of every ticket?

A percentage of every ticket means your bill grows every time a meet goes well. Gearz keeps the fee on each ticket small and lets a plan lower it: Crew Chief is $19.99 a month for the Club, with a lower ticket fee and no member cap. Your first club starts with a 14-day free trial on either plan, so run a meet or two before you pay. If your crew only needs a group chat, you may not need Gearz yet, and that is fine.

Questions? We've got answers.

What does a founding spot actually get me?

A year of Starter Club for your Club for $49 instead of $99.90, a beta seat in the first wave we open, your renewal at $49/year for as long as you keep it (cancel and that price is gone), a founding badge on your garage, and direct input on what gets built next.

Do I have to pay to use Gearz?

No. Finding meets, RSVPing, joining clubs and building a garage profile are free and stay free. Running a Club takes a plan, and your first club starts with a 14-day free trial. Tuner is for builders who want more garage tools. During pre-launch you can browse everything without an account.

Why is sign-up invite-only right now?

We are opening in waves so the map is actually full when you get there, rather than sending everyone to an empty one. Join the waitlist and we let people in as your area fills up — or claim a founding spot and skip the queue.

What is Gearz?

The home base for car culture — events, clubs, garage, and gamification in one place.

Is it free to use?

Enthusiast is free forever for members. Your first club starts with a 14-day free trial of Starter Club or Crew Chief.

When can I sign up?

Sign-ups are invite-only while we open city by city. Join the waitlist and we let people in as your area fills up, or claim a founding spot to get in on day one. Browsing events and clubs needs no account at all.

Can I sell tickets for my events?

Yes. A Club on Starter Club or Crew Chief can sell paid tickets and season passes through Stripe Connect. Gearz charges 5% + $0.50 per paid ticket on Starter Club and 3% + $0.30 on Crew Chief, and Stripe charges its own processing fee on top. Crew Chief also removes the member and staff limits.

Where is Gearz available?

Anyone anywhere can join the waitlist and claim a founding spot. We open city by city so each map has real density on day one, starting in the US and expanding from there — the waitlist is how we decide the order, so adding your city is the fastest way to move it up.

How is this different from Facebook Events?

Gearz is purpose-built for car culture — map-first discovery, integrated ticketing, club management, and a reputation system that rewards showing up.

Why pay when other tools are free?

Free tools like Facebook Events and spreadsheets are free because they do one thing. Gearz replaces five of them (map discovery, RSVPs, ticketing, club rosters and garage profiles) in one place. Your first club starts with a 14-day free trial. Starter Club ($99.90/year) covers paid tickets and Stripe payouts, and Crew Chief ($19.99/club/month) removes the member cap and lowers the ticket fee.

Will my members actually use it?

They don't have to sign up to see your stuff. Every event and club page is a public link that works for anyone — post it in your group chat or on Instagram like you do now. Members only make an account when they RSVP or buy a ticket.

What happens to my club if I leave Gearz?

Your roster is yours. Member export to CSV is coming soon on Crew Chief. Cancel from your account settings and you keep access until the end of the billing period.

Is there a mobile app?

Gearz runs in any phone browser — nothing to download. Add it to your home screen and it opens full-screen like an app, with the live map and your tickets.
