Plezi tells you what's really on tonight — then lets you turn it into a night with other people, in one link. Open it and the city is sorted by the hour: what's live this minute, what starts at nine, what's still going late. A deal about to end, a band about to start, a kitchen still serving. Pick the places you want and send one link — everyone else settles the rest. PLAN IT TOGETHER Name a night, add places, put the stops in order with a time on each. Send one link: anyone can accept, with no account and no download. Everyone says what they're up for that night, how they eat, and anything you should know. You see what the group adds up to — never who said what. Counts stay hidden until three people have answered, because below three a count points at somebody. TOLD ONLY WHEN IT MATTERS Pick your alerts by name: deals ending near you, live music tonight, your plan half an hour ahead. Nothing else is ever sent. A night only nudges you about the one thing a group chat is bad at — that it's tomorrow and nobody has decided anything. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See what's LIVE right now — specials and events happening this minute • Jump to an hour with a tap: Now, 7pm, 9pm, or Late • Find tonight's happy hours, drink specials and food deals near you • Filter by what's on — live music, karaoke, trivia, drag shows, comedy and more • Set how you eat once and see it suggested everywhere — vegan, gluten free, halal, kosher, allergy-aware, every tag read off the venue's own menu by our team • Group the places you keep into lists — date night, when Mom visits, cheap Tuesdays • Check the map to see what's open and serving nearby • Can't decide? Tap "Surprise me" for a spot that's live now • See something wrong? Flag a listing in one tap and a local scout will check it TONIGHT MEANS TONIGHT A show that starts at ten and runs past midnight is still part of tonight. Plezi keeps it on screen until it actually ends, instead of flipping to tomorrow's listings at 12:00 while you're still out. BUILT FOR YOUR CITY Plezi is powered by local scouts who keep specials and events fresh, so what you see is what's really on. A night is only worth planning if the places on it are open. Pick your city — or your corner of it, with larger metros grouped by district. Across North Carolina's Triangle, Greensboro, Wilmington and Richmond, with more on the way. FREE, NO SIGN-UP NEEDED No account required to browse — open the app and go. An optional free account syncs your saved spots and lists across devices. Planning a night with people? Pick a name and a face so they know who's who: that's shown to them and nobody else. PLEZI+ — OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION Everything above is free. Plezi+ adds the Plezi Concierge: an AI assistant that answers questions about your night — "where's live music after 9?", "cheapest wings tonight?" — using Plezi's own curated listings, not the open web. Ask by typing or by voice. Plezi+ costs $2.99 per month (US), as an auto-renewing monthly subscription. It renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel it any time in your store account settings.
