App or link
Fairspot and togather agree on what makes a meeting point fair: everyone’s real travel time, not the middle of a map. Both take a group of two to eight people and suggest real places to meet near the fairest point. The biggest difference is how you get to the answer.
Fairspot: a native app for French cities
Fairspot is an iOS and Android app, focused on Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Toulouse and Lille. It covers public transport, cycling and walking, and gives each result a fairness score out of 100, which is a tidy way to settle an argument. If your group lives in one of those cities and everyone already has the app, it does the job well.
togather: one link, any city
togather runs in the browser. There is nothing to download and no account, which matters more than it sounds for a group: the organiser sends one link to the group chat, and everyone can open it, including the friend who never installs anything. Anyone not on the plan yet can add where they’re starting from, and the spot re-centres to include them.
It works wherever Google Maps has routes, not a fixed list of cities, and it adds driving to transit, bike and walking, with a mode set per person. Every candidate is scored on the average journey plus the gap between the longest and the shortest, so trips stay short for the whole group and nobody is stuck with a much longer one. Each person’s time is shown next to the result.
