Best of all, its completely free to sign up for an account and get started. Some Meetup events do have a fee to participate, but for the most part Meetup groups and events tend to be free.

Does meetup cost money?

Meetup users do not need to pay a fee to sign up for the website, and the service itself is free to use for individual users. Meetup makes its money by charging group organizers a monthly fee to run their groups. It is then up to the group organizers to choose whether or not to charge group members fees, and how much.
