HERD — TURN GROUP CHATS INTO REAL PLANS. Someone says “we should do something.” Everyone agrees. Nothing happens. Herd fixes that. Create groups for every social circle — Golf Boys, Uni Mates, Family, Football Team, Work Drinks. Share a link to your WhatsApp. Everyone joins in seconds. No forms. No faff. SET YOUR SOCIAL AVAILABILITY Open the social calendar and set when you’re free and what you’re up for. Night out, activity, chill, or travel. Ten seconds. Done. Herd doesn’t just track when you’re free. It tracks what you actually want to do. HERD SUGGESTS THE PLAN When enough of your group are free for the same thing, Herd fires a suggestion straight to the group. “Jamie, Tom and 2 others are free Saturday — up for an activity?” No chasing. No organising. Just a notification that does the hard work. VOTE AND LOCK IT IN Your group votes yes, maybe or no. Majority rules. Plan confirmed. No more threads going nowhere. SPLIT THE BILL Scan any receipt. Herd reads every item, assigns costs to the right people, and shows everyone what they owe. Or spin the wheel and let fate decide who pays the lot. FOR THE BIG OCCASIONS TOO Stag do, ski trip, birthday, Ibiza? Create an Event Herd — itinerary, payments, documents and confirmations all in one place. From Friday drinks to a week abroad. Herd handles it all. Social Should Be Simple. joinherd.co.uk

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ShredMap at none against Herd's 1. ShredMap also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Herd's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
