Most apps start after you’ve decided. Benson helps you get there.

Meetup apps help you discover events. Invitation apps help organize plans you’ve already made. Benson goes further with AI assisted group decision making. By understanding everyone’s preferences and the conversations in your event’s group chat, Benson helps your group decide what to do and where to go, with plans everyone can enjoy.

Dinner Friday? Sorted.

Tell Benson “dinner Friday with Steve, Teresa, Travis, and Brooke.” It suggests spots, the group votes, and the winner goes out as one invite.
Once RSVPs are in, add it to your calendar and get directions.

Why Benson

From “we should” to “it’s happening.”

You’re the one who always ends up organizing. Here’s what Benson takes off your plate.

  • Say it once

    Start with something simple, like dinner Friday with Steve, Teresa, Travis, and Brooke. Benson turns the idea into options and next steps.

  • Get the group to yes faster

    Hey Benson narrows decisions around preferences, location, and timing without endless back-and-forth.

  • Stop chasing everyone

    Invites, RSVPs, reminders, changes, and who is coming stay in one coordinated flow.

TESTIMONIALS

A Plan That Actually Happened

Dinner made it out of the group chat

We used Hey Benson to plan dinner for 5 people. Instead of forty texts and no decision, Benson helped us pick the spot, invite everyone, and know who was actually coming.

The birthday plan finally stayed organized

I was organizing a birthday hangout and Hey Benson kept the details in one place. The invite, RSVPs, reminders, and updates were easier than chasing everyone through separate messages.

Perfect when nobody wants to pick the place

Our group always gets stuck on where to go. Benson helped narrow the options, find what worked for everyone, and turn a loose 'I'm down' conversation into a real night out.

Less back-and-forth, more showing up

Hey Benson made casual planning feel simple. We picked the plan, shared the invite, and everyone had the same details without digging through a messy group chat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers on pricing, invites, and how Benson works.

Hey Benson helps group organizers turn a casual idea into a confirmed plan. Tell Benson what you are trying to plan (dinner, drinks, a birthday, a hike, a trip, a casual meetup) and it suggests options, invites the group, tracks RSVPs, sends reminders, and keeps everyone on the same page.

Most invite apps take over after you already know the plan. Benson helps before that, turning a loose idea into options, a shared invite, RSVPs, reminders, and updates, not just sending an invite once you've already decided.

Yes, to start. You get 50 free credits for your first month, a one-time welcome bonus, then 20 free credits every month after that. Monthly credits don't roll over, so use them before the month ends.

Hey Benson is currently available in the United States and Canada.

Credits cover the AI-powered parts of a plan. Each person you invite uses 1 credit, so inviting 10 people uses 10 credits. Each AI image you create with Benson uses 1 credit. You can see your balance anywhere in the app, and if you run out, you can buy more. Credit packs start at $0.99 for 10 credits, with 50 credits for $4.99, 100 for $8.99, and 200 for $16.99.

No. Benson sends the invites for you, by SMS, email, or link, so you're not the one copying a link into five different chats. Friends don't need the app to receive an invite or RSVP; it just makes things smoother once they're in.

First-time invites go out by text and email to the contact you added. After that, you choose how to stay in the loop: push notifications for everything, email for everything except chat, and text messages for big changes like the date, time, or location. You can turn any of them off at any time in your Profile settings.

Dinner, brunch, drinks, birthdays, parties, hikes, trips, local activities, study sessions, and casual meetups: anything a group needs to actually land on and follow through with.

Plans currently support up to 50 invitees. Larger invite lists may be supported in the future.

Yes. What to do. Where to go. That's what Benson is for. Benson suggests places and activities based on the type of plan, your location, the timing, and everyone's preferences, then your group votes and lands on one.

Yes. Benson tracks who's invited, who's replied, and who's confirmed, so you always know who's coming. It sends reminders and updates to the group so nothing gets lost in a thread.

Benson doesn't make bookings or reservations itself. Smart Actions give you links to services like OpenTable, Uber, and Lyft right from the plan, so you can book a table or a ride yourself.

Yes. Photos and videos added to a plan are shared only with confirmed event guests. After the plan happens, you can also use AI filters to customize your event photos.

Open the app, go to Profile, and tap Delete.
