Detailed Review
MeetAgain is run by MeetAgain UG (haftungsbeschränkt), a Berlin company whose imprint gives Handelsregister number HRB 290582 B at the Amtsgericht Charlottenburg. The platform is aimed at groups that meet regularly, such as language exchanges, book clubs, film nights and hobby groups. Organisers publish recurring events, members RSVP, and each group gets its own multilingual website built with a block editor.
The core is published under the EUPL 1.2 on GitHub, so a group can use the hosted service or run it on its own Linux, PHP 8.4 and MySQL server. The hosted version runs on a Hetzner server in Germany, with transactional email through Sweego in France and payments through Mollie in the Netherlands. Event lists are strictly chronological and there is no paid visibility.
It is narrower than most of the tools above. HumHub and Open Social are full social intranets, and Hivebrite targets alumni networks with dues, while MeetAgain does one job: running recurring local meetups. The pricing page lists a single €6.00 per group per month plan with unlimited members and no free tier, which is a different shape from Meetup's model. Several of the platform's own pages still read like a young project.
What MeetAgain does well
- EUPL 1.2 open source, with self-hosting and full data export
- Single published price of €6.00 per group per month, unlimited members
- Hosted on Hetzner in Germany, with other processors named and in the EU
- Chronological event lists with no ads and no paid visibility
- Multilingual group sites with a custom domain included
Where MeetAgain falls short
- No free tier and no free trial, unlike Meetup alternatives that start free
- Narrow scope: events and groups, not forums, courses or dues collection
- Young project with no published certifications or SLA
- Small plugin set and no mobile app listed on the site
Standout feature. A single-purpose, EUPL-licensed meetup platform with one published price and German hosting, built for recurring local groups.
