# Intro
|
||||
|

Meetup.com recently has suffered from some [backlash](https://twitter.com/securestep9/status/1183798804371386369) to some [new pricing models](https://www.meetup.com/lp/payment-test-20191016) it proposed. They have since [backpedaled](https://www.meetup.com/lp/paymentchanges?mpId=9038) but for many the damage has already been done and the trust has been damaged. This comes two years after Meetup [made some changes](https://lab.io/articles/2017/11/08/dear-meetup/) that made it significantly worse for organisers to manage their communities as well as being taken over by WeWork who are currently facing financial difficulties - something many have suggested as the reason for exploring new profitability strategies with Meetup.com. Following Meetup rescinding their proposed payment model I have since received an email informing me that my organiser subscription will be increasing from $14.99/month to $16.49/month.

I don't see any clear winner that will suit everyone as a replacement to Meetup but I do think there is something in this list for everyone. There's a lot of strong contenders here (especially if you already have a website where you post events) and even more with future potential. The major thing all these options lack is the discoverability that Meetup provides but I feel this is likely to change as people more to alternatives.
