About
What is Orgaa?
Everything you need to know about Orgaa on one page: what the app does, what it costs, who made it and where the data lives.
What is Orgaa for?
It replaces the usual mix of a group chat, a poll, a shared spreadsheet and a payment link. Everything about one event sits in one place, for the organiser and for the guests.
Orgaa is made for parties with friends and family: birthday, wedding, hen and stag dos, weekend or trip, leaving do, housewarming, birth and baby shower, party. Events are private: only people who received the invitation link can see them.
What does the app do?
Each event can bring together these features, which the organiser switches on or off:
- Invitations by link, QR code or text message, with replies from the browser and plus-ones.
- Group chat, polls and questionnaires (menu, allergies, accommodation).
- Hour-by-hour programme, with places.
- Tasks, assigned or open to volunteers.
- Gift list without duplicates and a group fund that links to Lydia, Wero, PayPal or an IBAN: Orgaa never handles money.
- Shared expenses, with who owes whom.
- Carpooling between guests.
- Shared photo album, with optional delayed reveal.
- Surprise mode, which hides the chat and the group fund from the guest of honour.
- Providers and activities to add to the event.
Each feature is described on the Orgaa features page. The comparisons show what Orgaa does more, or less, than WhatsApp, Doodle, Tricount, Partiful and Evite.
Who created Orgaa?
Florence and Alexandre Demortier, a sister and her brother from Toulouse, France. They started from a simple observation: organising a birthday, a weekend or a hen do as a group always ends up scattered across messages, emails and notes.
Orgaa is published by Batiflow, a French simplified joint-stock company based in Paris.
« We wanted to build an app that really makes life easier when you organise something as a group. »
How much does Orgaa cost?
Nothing. Orgaa is free, with no subscription or paid version, for organisers and guests alike.
Where is the data stored?
App data (database and files) is hosted in the European Union and is never sold. The full list of processors and retention periods is in the privacy policy.
Which languages?
French, English, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese.
Do guests need to install the app to reply?
No. The invitation link opens a web page where guests see the event and reply, with a code sent by email. The iPhone and Android app is then used for the chat, photos and notifications.
Free tools and guides, no app needed

What not to confuse Orgaa with
Other apps have a similar name, such as "Orga" or "ORGA App". Orgaa is spelled with two a’s, and its publisher on the stores is Batiflow.
Orgaa has two official websites: orgaa.fr presents the app, its guides and free tools; orgaa.app hosts invitations, the web space and the provider directory.
