Yes, we offer a free plan to register an account on Meetup as member. With a free account, you can browse groups, find events you may be interested in and RSVP to events to actually attend. All of this is offered without subscribing to Meetup+.
How to use or select the free plan:
If you see a Meetup+ pop-up or trial offer, click the Continue with free plan link at the top of the pop-up to proceed without subscribing. Meetup+ is a paid upgrade to your free membership that unlocks further features and exclusive benefits, but it's not mandatory to find and join groups, or attend events. Find out more about Meetup+ here: FAQ about Meetup+.
If you started a Meetup+ trial by mistake, cancel it before it ends so you aren’t charged. On the web, go to Settings → Meetup+ Subscription → Cancel Subscription. After you cancel, the trial won’t renew. When it ends, you’ll continue on the free experience and can still browse groups and RSVP.
👉 Note: Some groups charge member dues set by the organizer. That’s separate from Meetup+. Groups that require dues show a Request to join button instead of Join group: Joining a group with member dues.
