Founding spots

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

Founding Gearhead
$49$99.90Save 50%

One payment for your first year. Then $49/year for as long as you stay — even after launch pricing goes up.

  • Everything in Gearhead — club creation, paid events, Stripe Connect
  • A beta spot in the first wave we open, ahead of the waitlist
  • Your $49/year rate locked for as long as you stay subscribed
  • A founding badge on your garage profile
  • A direct line to me — you tell me what to build next

First cities open in 2027. All sales final — founding places are non-refundable.

Not an organizer? You never need a paid plan. Browsing meets is free, no account needed, during pre-launch and after. RSVPing takes a free account, which is invite-only until we open.

What Gearz costs at launch

These are the plans everyone pays once we open. A founding spot locks the Gearhead tier at $49/year — roughly half of what it becomes below.

Ticket fees: Gearz charges 5% + $0.50 per paid ticket. Stripe charges its own processing fee (currently 2.9% + $0.30 in the US) on top of that — Gearz does not collect it.

Why a subscription instead of a cut of every ticket?

Most tools in this category are free and take a percentage of everything you sell, which means your bill grows every time a meet goes well. A flat plan does the opposite: $19.99 for the club for the month whether you sell 20 tickets or 400, so you can price a meet without doing fee math first. If you never sell tickets, stay on the free Enthusiast plan — it costs nothing and we would rather you did that than pay for something you are not using.

Questions? We've got answers.

What does a founding spot actually get me?

Your first year of the Gearhead plan for $49 instead of $99.90, a beta seat in the first wave we open, that $49/year rate locked for as long as you stay subscribed, 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, and building a garage profile are free and stay free. Paid plans are for organizers who run clubs and sell tickets. 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?

Yes. The Enthusiast plan is free forever. Paid plans unlock more features.

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 — the Gearhead plan adds Stripe Connect and paid events, with a 5% + $0.50 Gearz fee per paid ticket (Stripe charges its own processing fee on top). Crew Chief adds advanced ticketing tiers, analytics and unlimited members.

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. The Crew Chief plan at $19.99/club/month costs less than a single Eventbrite fee on a 50-person paid meet, and includes advanced ticketing, push notifications, and member export that no free tool offers.

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. Crew Chief includes member export to CSV, so you can pull your full member list out whenever you want. 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.
