From "who's in?" to paid, in one place
Group plans die in the group chat. Somebody has to front the money, somebody never pays them back, and half the people were never really coming. Whosin fixes all three by putting the headcount and the math in one place, so the person planning always knows where they stand.
Make the plan
Give it a name, a date, and a max budget per person. The max is the most anyone could possibly pay, not the price. Blue Jays game, $100 max each. Cottage weekend, $300 max each. You pick the ceiling.
Invite your people
Type email addresses. People already on Whosin show up by name as you type and get a notification. Everyone else gets an email with the plan and one button. You also get a private share link you can drop in the group chat, and anyone who opens it can lock themselves in.
Everyone locks in
Tapping I'm in puts your name on the list. No card, no payment, nothing to set up. The organizer finally knows the real headcount instead of guessing from a group chat.
Tapping I'm in means authorizing a card up to the max. It's a hold, not a charge. No money moves. It just proves you mean it, and it gives the organizer the green light to book.
Set the ground rules
A lock-in date, after which the plan stops waiting. Whether the plan is flexible (it goes ahead with whoever is in) or all or nothing (one person bails and the whole thing is off). And how people settle up with you. Everyone sees all three before they commit.
Buy it anywhere
Whosin doesn't sell tickets or book hotels. The organizer buys the actual thing wherever it's cheapest: Ticketmaster, the airline, the restaurant. We just keep the group's word and the receipt in one place while they do.

Split the real cost
The organizer posts what it actually cost. Whosin splits it evenly and shows everyone their share. Spent $315 of a possible $600? Everyone owes $52.50, and they pay the organizer back however they normally would. You pick whether people tick themselves off or you confirm each one as it lands.

The whole trick, in one sentence
Saying you're in costs nothing if the plan is real, and it costs you the group's trust if you were going to flake. That's why it works.
A card hold costs nothing if the plan is real, and everything if you were going to flake. That's why it works.
Coming soon
Right now the money moves between you and your friends however it already does. Two card options are on the way, and you'll be able to pick either one when you create a plan.
