How togather compares to Where2Meet
Where2Meet and togather both compare real travel times rather than map distance. Where2Meet is a planning space: everyone adds where they are coming from, the group compares times on a map and votes, and the organiser picks. togather does the ranking itself, returning the venues where trips are short and nobody is stuck with a much longer one, in one step.

Decide together, or get the answer
Where2Meet and togather share a principle: a fair place is about travel time, not about the middle of a map. They differ in who does the deciding.
Where2Meet: a shared space to plan and vote
Where2Meet works like a small planning room. The organiser creates a meeting with a date and time and shares a link. Everyone adds where they are coming from, the group looks at places on a map with each person’s trip time, and people vote for the ones that work for them. The organiser then picks. Setting the time is useful when rush-hour transit changes the answer, and the voting suits groups where everyone wants a say.
togather: the fairest venues, ranked for you
togather skips the discussion step. Add each starting point and how each person travels, and it times every trip, scores candidate venues on the average journey plus the gap between the longest and the shortest, and returns the places where trips are short and nobody is stuck with a much longer one. Each person’s travel time is shown next to the result, so the group can see it is fair rather than take it on trust.
The group still has a way in. 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. Up to eight people, any mix of metro, bike, walking or driving, no account.
If your group likes to vote, Where2Meet is built for that. If you want the answer in about a minute, that is what togather does.

Questions
- Is togather a good Where2Meet alternative?
- Yes, when you want an answer rather than a discussion. togather ranks the fairest venues straight away from everyone's starting point and mode. The group can still weigh in: anyone missing adds themselves from the link and the spot re-centres.
- When is Where2Meet the better pick?
- When the decision itself should be collaborative, with everyone voting, or when the time of the meeting matters, for example rush-hour transit. Where2Meet lets you set a date and time; togather does not.
- Do both use real travel times?
- Yes. Both time trips on real routes rather than straight-line distance. Where2Meet shows each person's time for the places you look at; togather scores every candidate and shows each person's time next to the result.
- Does anyone have to share a home address?
- No, with either. Where2Meet has a setting to show only an approximate area. With togather a neighbourhood or a nearby station is precise enough as a starting point.
