Three ways to run it
The planning side is free and always will be — it never needed a server. What you pay for is the part that does: a link your guests can open, a party two people can run, and your data somewhere other than one browser. If you would rather run that server yourself, the code is the same and it costs nothing.
Browser
The whole planner, running entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, because there is nowhere to upload it to.
Open the app- Auto-balancing drink menu
- Shopping list with price ranges
- Live budget and break-even
- Custom ingredients and cocktails
- Guest list you type yourself
- Signed QR tickets
- Door scanner on one device
- Shareable invite link
- RSVP funnel and spread view
- Co-organisers
- Sync across your devices
Hosted
Everything above, plus the parts that need a server: links other people can open, a party two of you can run, and your data on more than one device.
Sign in to get started- Everything in Browser

Self-hosted
The same code, deployed to your own Cloudflare account. Every paid feature is on, because there is nobody to pay — you are running the server.

Questions people actually ask
Is the free tier a trial?
No. It has no expiry, no account and no card. If planning a party in one browser is all you need, that is the finished product and you are done.
What does "one payment" mean?
You pay once and the features stay on. There is no renewal to forget and nothing to cancel.
What happens to my existing parties if I sign in?
Nothing changes. Your parties still live in your browser on every plan. Turning on an invite link publishes only what an invitation shows — name, date, venue — plus the guests who answer it. Your menu, shopping list and budget are never uploaded. Moving the rest of the party to your account is the next thing being built, and it will import what you already have rather than start you over.
Does my co-organiser have to pay too?
No. They sign in so you can see who they are and remove them later, but the party is yours and it's already paid for — charging both of you to run one party would make the feature pointless, since you can't co-organise alone. What they don't get is parties of their own.
What do my guests have to sign up for?
Nothing. They open the link, type a name and tap yes or no. No account, no app, no password. If you let them, they get a link of their own to pass on, and whoever they bring shows up in your spread view as theirs.
Why is self-hosting free when hosting costs money?
Because hosting is the thing being sold, not the software. Running the Worker, the database and the door-scanner sync is what the payment covers. Do that yourself and there is nothing left to charge for.
