How PLY works, our mission & locations
People Like You is your social life assistant.
It's for the friendships you are building and the ones already there.
From our Dinner Club and Film Club to Drinks socials, Bowling nights and Games evenings, every experience is intentionally designed to spark genuine friendship.
Meet someone you click with? Invite them to your next experience. Want to introduce existing friends to new people? Bring them along too. PLY makes it easy to grow your social circle naturally - we handle everything from venue selection and personality matching to group dynamics and on-the-ground-support.
Here's what a typical week looks like at PLY:
- Monday: Electric Darts
- Tuesday: Dinner Club
- Wednesday: Bowling
- Thursday: Film Club
- Friday: Drinks
- Sunday: Brunch
Take our quick personality quiz, create an account and choose how you'd like to book:
- Single Experience: £9.99 PLY fee, plus the cost of the activity
- PLY Membership: from £9.99 a month, including unlimited PLY matching and curation, and your first activity ticket on most experiences
Membership comes in two terms. £29.99 every 3 months works out at £9.99 a month, or pay £19.99 month by month.
For Dinner and Brunch, you pay for your own food and drink at the venue.
You'll always see exactly what's included and any amount due before you confirm.
We operate across 12 cities throughout the UK and host all of our experiences at our fantastic partner venues.
- Dinner Club, Brunch & Drinks: We'll share the restaurant or bar details the day before the experience
- Other Experiences: You'll find venue details in your booking confirmation email right after purchase
There are two ways to book:
- Single Experience: £9.99 PLY fee, plus any activity cost
- PLY Membership: from £9.99 a month, including unlimited PLY matching and curation, and your first activity ticket on most experiences
Membership has two terms and both include the same thing. £29.99 every 3 months is our best value at £9.99 a month, and £19.99 month by month is there if you would rather pay monthly.
The PLY fee covers your personality-based matching, small-group curation and the organisation of the experience.
The activity cost is the cost of the activity itself, for example, a cinema ticket or cookery class.
With membership, we cover your first activity ticket where it costs no more than your membership payment. After that, you pay the activity cost where one applies, at the discounted member rate.
For Dinner and Brunch, there is no activity ticket. You pay for your own food and drink at the venue.
The £9.99 covers the PLY side of one experience:
- Personality-based matching
- A place in a carefully curated small group
- Venue and experience arrangements
- Updates and support before you attend
It does not include the cost of the activity itself, such as a cinema ticket.
For Dinner and Brunch, there is no activity cost to pay upfront. You simply pay for your own food and drink at the venue.
PLY Membership is £29.99 every 3 months, which works out at £9.99 a month. You can also pay £19.99 month by month. Both include:
- Your first activity ticket, on any experience priced up to your membership payment
- Unlimited PLY matching and curation across any city
- No additional £9.99 PLY fee when you book another experience
- Discounted member prices on additional activity tickets
For example, if your first experience is Film Club, your cinema ticket is included. Where an activity costs more than your membership payment, such as Cookery School, you pay its member price and we always show you that before you confirm.
After your first experience, you only pay the activity cost where one applies. For Dinner and Brunch, you pay for your own food and drink at the venue.
Yes. You choose your term at checkout:
- 3 months: £29.99 every 3 months, which is £9.99 a month
- Monthly: £19.99 a month
Both terms include the same membership. Unlimited matching and curation, no further PLY fees, and member prices on any activity tickets after your first.
You choose your term on the checkout screen before you pay. Either way, it renews automatically until you cancel.
Your first activity ticket is included when it costs no more than your membership payment. On the 3-month term that covers any activity up to £29.99, and on the monthly term up to £19.99.
For Dinner and Brunch, there is no activity ticket to include, so you pay for your own food and drink at the venue.
A small number of premium activities cost more than that, such as Cookery School. There you pay the activity's member price, always shown before you confirm.
Your first activity ticket is included when you join, where it costs no more than your membership payment.
After your first experience, your membership continues to cover all PLY matching, curation and organisation fees. You only pay the activity cost where one applies, at the discounted member rate.
For Dinner and Brunch, you pay for your own food and drink at the venue.
