Set up your game with your regular players and backups. PickleHost texts players to confirm, tracks responses, follows up with anyone who hasn’t replied, works to fill open spots, and lets you know when something needs your attention. You stay in control while PickleHost handles the repetitive coordination.
PickleHost is especially useful for recurring games with limited spots, a regular group of players, and backups you trust. It’s a great fit when you care about getting the right number of the right players each week and don’t want to coordinate it all manually.

Because texts work. Players already pay attention to their text messages, which makes it easier to get timely responses. They don’t have to download an app, enable notifications, or remember to check an inbox.
PickleHost handles the repetitive work of running a game: sending invitations, following up with nonresponders, tracking who’s in and out, inviting backups when spots open, and keeping you updated. You can let PickleHost handle the coordination in the background, or stay as hands-on as you like—you’re always in control.
Yes. You choose your regular players, who serves as backup, and how those backups are prioritized. You can also invite someone to a single session without adding them to the recurring game. PickleHost gives you plenty of ways to fine-tune who gets a spot while still automating the coordination—and you can always jump in and get more hands-on whenever you want.
Plans start at $10.99/month, with options for organizers who run more or larger games. Players are always free, and optional player Chip-Ins can help offset your cost. See plans
