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. No account, subscription, or paywall for the solver, imports, exports, scenario storage, or result diagnostics.

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 Zoom CSV and API access
• Scenario manager with saved workspaces and result history
• Scenario import/export bundles, diagnostics, and storage management

Cons

• Relatively new and unknown
• Hard to discover
• Advanced workspace has a learning curve
• No self-join flow or presentation gimmicks

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

• 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

One of the strongest reviewed tools for single-session preference/category grouping. It is cloud/account-heavy and not a repeat-pair optimizer, but the actual grouping model is serious.

Pricing: Free try-it mode without registration. Registration unlocks saved teams, multiple teams, spreadsheet import, and student self-entry workflows; site copy says the service has been free, but subscription/payment infrastructure exists in the privacy policy.

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

Cons

• Account needed for the full useful workflow
• 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 feature-rich local team maker with the rare combination of ability balance plus keep-apart/keep-together groups.

Pricing: Free browser tool. No signup required.

Pros

• Keep-apart separation groups
• Keep-together bind groups
• Captains
• Multilingual
• No signup

Cons

• Ad/analytics observed

Summary

A major education team-formation tool, much deeper than random splitters but not publicly self-serve.

Pricing: Account-based CATME instructor system; request/login required.

Pros

• Schedule-aware grouping
• Custom questions
• Team fit diagnostics
• Research-backed algorithm

Cons

• Requires CATME account
• Hosted student data
• No public demo output verified
• Less useful for quick one-off groups

Summary

One of the stronger classroom-specific group generators reviewed: real roster management, constraints, presentation mode, and usable exports without requiring signup. Privacy is decent but not local-only because the site uses analytics/session tooling and cloud sync is part of the product.

Pricing: Free guest workflow with browser-only storage and no signup required. Pro is advertised at $2.99/month for cloud saving, multi-device sync, AI tools, support, and related classroom-suite features.

Pros

• No-signup guest workflow
• Saved class rosters in browser storage
• Always-together and do-not-group-with rules

Pros

• Multi-round repeat minimization

Pros

• No signup for generator
• Groups-of-K or N-groups modes
• Optional exclusions

Cons

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.

Base is €3.99/month with 100 participants, 10 groups, file import, PDF export, and 5 saved setups.
