Plans · COMMIT
Enough of us by the deadline, or it evaporates
Commits are free and reversible until the gate locks. Then the payer books, the roster freezes, and everyone settles up.
How the commit works
- Name the plan, the estimate, how many people it needs, and the deadline.
- People tap in or out; the meter shows how close it is.
- At K the plan locks; the payer marks it booked and the ledger opens for settling.

Questions about the commit
Does SparkChat hold the money?
Never. The widget holds state about money: who owes, who marked paid, who confirmed. Payment happens on Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, or cash.
Where does a widget live?
In the group chat, as a live card everyone can tap, and on the group’s board when someone pins it. Both surfaces show the same object; a change on one lands on the other instantly.
Does everyone in the group need the app?
To use the widget in the chat, yes. Several widgets also have a browser version on this site that works with no account, linked from this page when one exists.
