Find the right group generator for the job.

Summary

The strongest all-around group generator here if the user needs more than a one-off random split, but the advanced workspace is naturally denser than toy randomizers.

Pricing: Free browser-based tool. Standard grouping is unlimited without an account for up to 50 active people when attendance and group bounds stay the same. Advanced generation (over 50 active people, partial attendance, or changing group-size limits between rounds) requires a verified free account with 3 generations per UTC day. Pro is €6.99/month for unlimited advanced generation and cloud sync.

Pros

• Purpose-built solver engine for social golfer-style cases
• Deep constraint support
• Multi-round repeat reduction
• Runs in the browser with no account
• Strong import/export options, including embeds, Zoom CSV, and API access
• Scenario manager with saved workspaces and result history
• Scenario import/export bundles, diagnostics, and storage management
• Live staged group reveal with person-by-person or group-by-group styles and manual or automatic pacing
• Two design profiles and light/dark appearance modes

Cons

• Relatively new and unknown
• Hard to discover
• Advanced workspace has a learning curve
• Advanced generation has a verified-account daily allowance; unlimited use requires Pro
• No self-join flow

Summary

Extremely capable, but also extremely expensive.

Pricing: Paid ChatGPT Pro plan; pricing has varied by Pro tier/region and is far more expensive than typical group-generator tools. Business/Enterprise privacy defaults are different from consumer Pro.

Pros

• Can handle essentially arbitrary grouping requirements
• Can write and run ad hoc optimization scripts
• Excellent multi-round/repeat-minimization capability when prompted well
• Can validate results and compute diagnostics
• Can produce CSV, Excel-style tables, Zoom-ready CSV, Markdown, JSON, or custom formats
• Natural-language interface is extremely flexible
• Can research, reason about edge cases, and iterate quickly

Cons

• Very expensive for this use case
• Consumer Pro privacy caveats for sensitive rosters
• Requires an account and paid subscription
• Not a purpose-built group-generator UI
• Can be extremely slow, 10 min - 1 hour for generations with more complex constraints
• Quality depends on prompting and verification

Summary

One of the strongest real competitors for repeat-minimizing multi-round grouping. Narrowly golf-branded and account-gated, but algorithmically far beyond normal random splitters.

Pricing: Free during beta for individual non-commercial use. The site says beta registrants are grandfathered into Lifetime Premium at $0 if paid tiers are introduced; agent/club/pro features may require direct access or future tiers.

Pros

• Real multi-round repeat minimization
• Genetic/local-search algorithm
• Session history and pair matrix
• Absences and last-minute swaps
• Fixed positions and separation rules
• Dynamic group sizes
• Guest share links
• Offline-capable calculation
• JSON/data export

Cons

• Organizer account required
• Golf-specific language and workflow
• Beta/as-is service caveats
• Some print/pro features are tier-limited
• Not a quick anonymous random splitter
• Stores event/member data on the service

Summary

A notably strong social-golfer scheduler with diagnostics and exports.

Pricing: Free web tool with optional Clerk sign-in.

Pros

• Twosomes/threesomes/foursomes
• Multi-round schedules
• Partner preferences
• Avoid preferences
• Iteration tuning
• Pairing matrix
• Summary quality metrics
• Excel export
• Markdown export

Cons

• Golf-specific
• Optional account system/tracking
• Preference syntax is specialized
• No classroom roster import

Summary

A strong single-session balancer with tested pair rules, fixed placements, editable results, and unusually complete local exports. Three free attributes limit custom projects; it lacks multi-round repeat optimization, and conflicting privacy disclosures prevent treating the whole product as unconditionally private.

Pricing: Free local sandbox or optional cloud account: up to 3 active projects and 3 attributes per project, with constraints and exports available; built-in demos expose 5 attributes. Advertised US$29 one-time lifetime Full Access unlocks unlimited projects and up to 12 attributes. No account needed for the tested sandbox workflow. Checked 2026-10-08.

Pros

• Tested simultaneous numeric and categorical balancing with together/apart rules and a pin
• Regroup, Strict Separation, and Info Only strategies alongside balancing
• Manual moves with conflict warnings and a reset to the original assignment
• Inspected CSV, Excel, PDF, and complete JSON exports
• Local saved projects and verified backup restoration without an account

Cons

• Free custom projects are limited to three attributes and three active projects
• No multi-round repeat optimization or participant self-entry workflow
• Manual moves can unbalance groups; the override dialog says conflicting rules will be removed
• Privacy policy conflicts with observed analytics and with the tested local import path
• Overall score briefly initializes at 0%; category separation can display a misleading uneven-size warning

Summary

One of the strongest single-session preference/category groupers, now with a demand mode for avoiding isolated participants. The full persistent workflow requires an account and, for new organizers after trial, payment.

Pricing: Anonymous try-it generator remains free. New organizers receive a 14-day, 20-generation free trial, then Educator Annual (US$18 first-year launch offer, US$24/year renewal) or Educator Monthly (US$8/month). Foundation Free is restricted to teachers registered before 29 June 2026 (3 generations/month plus 60 bonus credits); participants join free. Prices checked 2026-10-01.

Pros

• Preference-based group optimization
• Blocking preferences / keep-apart style controls
• Category balancing and custom group sizes
• Guest/student self-entry links
• Spreadsheet import/export in registered workflow
• Satisfaction scoring and group history
• CSV export and drag-and-drop tweaking
• Demand mode targets at least one chosen peer per person
• Dedicated display and names-only print view

Cons

• New organizers need a paid plan after the 14-day, 20-generation trial for persistent use
• Hosted roster/preference data and child-consent complexity
• Heavy cookie/privacy banner
• Not a multi-round repeat optimizer
• UI has admin-app complexity
• No Zoom-specific export

Summary

A strong dedicated classroom grouping product if an account-based roster workflow is acceptable. It is polished and privacy-conscious for a hosted education tool, but less attractive for users who want instant no-login grouping or local-only roster handling.

Pricing: Free plan includes randomized/custom groups, smart groups using up to two student attributes, do-not-group-with, absent marking, recent groupings for 7 days, Live Mode, Google Classroom/Clever auto-roster, and up to 40 students per class.

Pricing: Free plan supports up to 20 participants, 2 groups, manual entry, skill balancing, copy, PNG, Excel/CSV export, reshuffle, and 1 saved setup. Base is €3.99/month with 100 participants, 10 groups, file import, PDF export, and 5 saved setups.

Summary

One of the stronger actual group generators on the list for single-session teams. It lacks multi-session/repeat optimization and modern web sharing, but its grouping controls are legitimately useful.

Pricing: Paid app-store purchase; developer lists it at $0.99 USD, with actual pricing varying by platform/region. No separate Team Shake account or subscription is needed after purchase.
