We recently launched Gather 2.0, our biggest upgrade ever! As part of this launch, we updated pricing for both Gather 2.0 and 1.0. Read the FAQs for more details about what changed.

Gather 1.0 offers two types of pricing: Monthly/Annual Subscriptions or One-Time Reservations. This article will cover everything you need to know about managing a one-time reservation on Gather. 

A one-time reservation is best for a single event with a start and end date, such as a virtual conference or community meetup. To learn more about purchasing a monthly subscription (best for ongoing use of a space like a virtual office), click here.

To create, edit, or cancel your reservation, navigate to your Space Dashboard. To open the Space Dashboard:

Create a Reservation

The price of a Gather 1.0 Paid Reservation is determined by the length of your event and the Space Capacity that you set. 

• If your event lasts 1-5 days, you'll be charged the daily rate of $3 USD per user per day
• If your events lasts 5+ days, you'll be charged the monthly rate of $15 USD per user per month

For example, a two-day event with a Space Capacity of 20 users would cost $120 ($3 per user per day) and allow up to 20 users to be in the space at the same time. 

To create your reservation: 

1. Click the One-time events toggle in the Plans & Billing Tab of the Space Dashboard. 
2. On the one-time plan card, click Select.

4. Click on Next: Payment.
5. Fill out your credit card details or select the invoice option and click the Pay button on the right.

FAQs

• Yep! You can increase your capacity during your event, but you will not be able to decrease it. Please allow up to 15 minutes for the change to take effect.
• No, we don't currently offer a refund for unused space capacity. We recommend adjusting the number before your event begins, so you don't overpay!
• There is not currently a way to change your start/end date once your reservation has been made. If you need to make changes, we recommend cancelling your reservation and creating a new one with the updated start and end time.
