Otaly

Where every event finds its people

Otaly is a social events platform. Discover what’s happening around you, host your own event in minutes, and keep your community close with chat and channels — on the web, iOS and Android.

Otaly was born from a simple belief: organizing events should feel as good as attending them.

About

Our story

We started Otaly after years of cobbling together half-fitting tools to run our own meetups. We knew there was a calmer way — one where AI quietly handles the busywork and humans focus on the gathering. Today, Otaly helps hosts bring people together with less friction and more delight.

Who runs Otaly

Otaly is an event registration and ticketing platform operated by OCTATIX EVENT MANAGEMENT L.L.C. We issue tickets and registrations, and sell paid tickets, through Otaly on behalf of event organizers. The organizer runs the event, holds its permits and is the merchant of record for paid tickets: the buyer's payment goes to the organizer's own Stripe account, and the receipt names the organizer.

Registration is free today. Paid tickets are rolling out on Direct Payments: each one is charged on the organizer’s own Stripe account, and the organizer is the merchant of record.

What we believe

Hosts first

Every decision is filtered through one question: does this make hosting easier and more joyful?

Calm by default

We say no to clutter. Otaly should feel quiet, focused, and a little bit beautiful.

AI that respects you

AI is a teammate, not a takeover. We never train on your data, and you’re always in control.

Open and honest

Clear pricing, clear privacy, clear roadmap. No surprises.
