What It Is

Based on the crawled content, groupm8.com now states that “groupm8 has moved to rezbot.com.” The current product, rezBot, is aimed at activity experience providers and venue operators. It offers real-time availability, enquiry management, activity pages, online payments, and automated feedback, while connecting with a large UK activity network. The site showcases a wide range of UK activity categories and venue counts.

Core Features and Ease of Use

The core feature is the Live Availability website Widget. According to the FAQ, it can be added to a website with a single line of code and can go live in as little as around five minutes. The same Widget code can be placed on multiple owned websites, as well as on partner venue, ticketing company, or booking agent websites. The system supports multiple activities and multiple venues, and each activity or venue can have its own availability Widget. Enquiry Manager, Online Payments, and Automated Feedback cover the basic loop from enquiry and booking to payment collection and feedback. An SMS add-on pack is also available for purchase, providing text alerts when bookings or enquiries are received.

Pricing and Commercial Terms

Pricing information is relatively incomplete. What is clear is that the Startup plan is permanently free and is intended for early-stage use cases that need to publish real-time availability. If more than 100 participants are processed per month, an upgrade to a paid plan is required. Paid plans come with a 90-day free trial, no long-term contract, monthly prepayment, and the ability to cancel at any time. After cancellation, the account falls back to the free plan at the end of the paid period. Specific monthly fees and package differences are not disclosed in the main content.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are its low setup barrier, friendly free tier, support for multiple websites and venues, and consideration for agency distribution and cross-promotion scenarios. The downsides are the lack of enterprise-level information: we did not see details on team permissions, APIs, third-party integrations, data compliance, or security certifications. The brand entry point has also moved from groupm8 to rezBot, which may add extra verification work during evaluation and procurement.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is better suited to UK or English-speaking market operators in outdoor activities, team building, experience ticketing, and multi-venue operations, especially those looking to quickly add real-time capacity and payment capabilities to their official websites. Access from China is unknown, and payment methods, local customer support, and compliance adaptation are not disclosed. If the primary target users are in China, it may be worth comparing alternatives such as Meituan/Dianping, Ctrip Things to Do, Piaofutong, or building a localized booking system based on WeChat Mini Programs.
