How togather compares to MedioVia
MedioVia and togather solve the same problem: both time each person's real journey on their own transport mode and rank venues for the group, free and without an account. MedioVia handles bigger groups (up to 10) and adds price and open-now filters. togather scores every spot on the average trip plus the gap between the longest and shortest, so nobody is stuck with a much longer trip.

Two tools built on the same idea
MedioVia and togather agree on the important part: a meeting point is fair when everyone’s journey is fair, not when it sits in the middle of a map. Both ask for each person’s starting point and how they travel, time the real trips, and suggest actual venues with everyone’s travel time next to them. Both are free and work without an account. If you have used one, the other will feel familiar.
The differences are in the details, so it comes down to your group.
Where MedioVia goes further
MedioVia takes up to ten people, which matters for a big team lunch or a large group of friends. It also has more ways to narrow the results: category, rating, price level and whether a place is open now, plus an option to share an approximate district instead of a home address. If you need any of those, it is the better fit.
Where togather is different
togather doesn’t ask you to choose between “fastest on average” and “fairest”. It scores every candidate on both at once: the average journey for the group plus the gap between the longest and the shortest trip, weighted equally. So a bar that is fifteen minutes for three people and forty-five for the fourth loses to one that is twenty for everybody, without anyone having to flip a setting.
Sharing also works in both directions. Send the result to the group chat and anyone who isn’t on the plan yet can add where they’re starting from; the spot re-centres to include them. And a neighbourhood or a station is enough as a starting point, so nobody has to give out a home address.

Questions
- Is togather a good MedioVia alternative?
- Yes, for a group of up to eight in a city. Both time each person's real trip on their own mode. togather balances the average and the spread in one score, so you don't have to pick between fast and fair, and anyone missing can add themselves from the shared link.
- When is MedioVia the better pick?
- When your group is nine or ten people, or when you need to filter venues by price or by what is open right now. togather tops out at eight people and has no price or opening-hours filter.
- What is the difference in how they decide what is fair?
- MedioVia asks you to optimise for either the lowest average or maximum fairness. togather always scores both at once: the average trip plus the gap between the longest and shortest, weighted equally, so a spot that is quick for most but slow for one person loses.
- Are both free?
- Yes. Both run in the browser and need no account to get a result. MedioVia offers an optional sign-in to save scenarios; togather has no accounts at all, and the result lives in the link you share.
