If you’re looking for friends to go to pilates with, grab drinks after work, or check out a concert this weekend, look no further. We’re here to get you out of the house and enjoying life with new friends serendipitously; spontaneity is in our DNA. Stop swiping, stop scrolling, start doing and find your people – make friends through shared experiences. HOW IT WORKS: - MAKE A PLAN Propose a plan to the community and instantly find people to go with you. When you make a plan, a group chat automatically generates for you and anyone who joins so that you can chat and coordinate. - JOIN A PLAN Discover fun things to do in your city with people who share your interests. When someone makes a plan, the plan is shared with the community for you to join. At Kndrd, we believe life is better with friends and that friendship is born through shared experiences. - GET ADVICE, RECS & SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY Searching for a doctor, looking for a roommate, selling a couch, or need relationship advice? The Kndrd community has your back. Just post on the Forum and the community will help you find the answers you need. - REAL PEOPLE, REAL FRIENDSHIPS Every person on Kndrd is verified by our team. We all show up as our best selves, ready to have the best time. Note: we’re only live in New York City as of now, to keep our initial community small and personal. We review every person who joins and review times may vary, so please be patient. We’ll be launching to other cities and beyond soon – this is just the beginning! We can’t wait to meet you, IRL! xx The Kndrd Team

You met them at the party. The conversation was great. Then nothing. No number, no handle, just a name you half remember. Present fixes that. It's a social app built around one idea: the people worth keeping are the ones you actually met in person. Not a swipe. Not a comment section. A real night. HOW IT WORKS - Find what's happening: see live and upcoming events near you, from house parties to campus nights out. - RSVP in seconds: join the guest list and get your QR pass for the door. - Check in when you arrive: Present confirms you're actually there. - See who's here: browse everyone at the event and connect with people you just met. - Keep the night: share photo and video Moments, tag friends, and look back on the recap. - Crossed Paths: Present remembers who you were at events with, so you never lose someone you actually met. FOR HOSTS - Create public or private events in under a minute - Door Mode: scan guests' QR passes at the door, or share a staff link - Add co-hosts, manage your guest list, and send updates to guests - Collect cover charges securely through Stripe YOUR PRIVACY - Your location is only used to check you in and is never stored - Ghost mode, blocking, and reporting built in - Delete your account anytime from Settings

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Present Social at every 4 days against Kndrd's every 3 weeks. Present Social also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). Kndrd's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
