Frequently asked questions.

Nayborlee brings neighbors, building residents, and collectives together to share help, make plans, and build useful local connections.

Sign in and choose Start a group. Public groups are reviewed before they open; Organizer (private) groups open as soon as payment is confirmed.

No. Anyone can start a group and invite the first members. If a group’s leader steps away, they can hand it to another member first.

Free for neighbors. Always. Joining and participating are free. Groups with a public introduction are free. Keeping an entire group private is part of the Organizer plan at $36/month or $360/year per group. Independent businesses can submit an offering for free.

Conversations are visible only to group members. Nayborlee does not verify home addresses. Open groups ask you to confirm a connection. Invitation-only groups require an invitation; reviewed groups require an approved request. None of these proves residency.

Hosts, leaders, and members active in a group for at least seven days can create one-use invitations. An invitation permits joining; it does not verify residency. Members can have one unused invitation at a time and create up to three per seven days. Sign-in is required to accept.

No. The Organizer plan costs $36/month or $360/year per group. The first payment is due at checkout. Your selected plan renews until canceled. Cancel through Manage billing before the next billing date to avoid renewal. Members participate free.

Yes. A free group can have a public introduction and still require invitations. Paid Keep private hides the entire group, including its introduction and search listing.

Yes. You can belong to multiple groups. Groups can allow direct joining, require invitations, or review requests. Conversations are visible only to group members. Nayborlee does not verify home addresses.

Yes. Choose Keep private when starting it. This requires the Organizer plan ($36/month or $360/year per group). New members join by invitation, and the group has no public introduction, group directory listing, or search-engine listing. Payment issues or a leader leaving do not make it public. No admin approval is needed to open a private group. A group leader must explicitly choose to publish a public introduction.

Private member posts, attendance, and member lists are not indexed. Public marketing pages and approved public happenings can be discoverable.

Affinity groups are open to members of their wider group. Badges show connection, not permission.

A joinable plan with a time and place, such as a walk or pickleball game. Events can also be traditions and shared projects.

Independent, locally owned providers and makers can submit useful offerings for review — including independents who serve households nationally, like makers who ship anywhere or software made for home life. National chains and large corporations are not eligible for paid placement. Paid placement is labeled, separate from neighbor posts, and limited to relevant service areas. Submission alone does not guarantee publication.

Neighborhood sponsorship is $39/month per group, billed monthly until canceled. Founding sponsors keep $39/month for as long as their sponsorship continues. Apply online through Partners and review your charges before checkout. Open hosting is free; the Organizer plan is a separate paid subscription.

The terms saved with your invitation apply. Where those terms call for a separate paid agreement, the pilot does not convert to this monthly plan or charge automatically.

Nayborlee is designed for groups anywhere in the United States. Public pages do not imply that active groups or providers are already present in a given location.
