Frequently asked questions

Anything only one person (or household) can use at a time: power tools, boats, campervans, spare rooms, ski gear, DVDs, a sewing machine, a pizza oven. If two people can't use it simultaneously, AllDibs can schedule it.

Each member of an item gets a budget of midweek credits (Mon–Fri) and weekend credits (Sat–Sun), set by the host. Booking a day spends one credit of the matching type. Once a booked day has passed, the credit comes back to you automatically.

Because weekends are what everyone fights over. A separate, smaller weekend budget means one person can't claim every Saturday while technically staying under a generic limit.

Cancelling immediately frees the days for others, and every not-yet-passed day goes back into your credit budget.

Whoever creates an item is its first host. Hosts set credit limits, manage the invite link, promote other members to co-host, and can remove members. Hosts can also hand off or share the role.

Every item has a private invite link. Send it over any chat; whoever opens it and signs in becomes a member. Hosts can regenerate the link at any time to cut off old invites.

Yes. Your first 5 items are free for as long as you use them, with unlimited members. If you need more, another 5 items costs $15 as a one-time payment, and you can buy as many of those blocks as you like. There is no subscription.

Both kinds: an item you created and an item someone invited you to each count as one item toward your own limit. Sharing an item you created doesn't cost your other members anything, since their limit is separate from yours.

Every item has a Files section for manuals, receipts, insurance documents, checklists, and whatever else the group needs. Plus one hero photo so everyone knows which drill is which.
