What is iS Gather Business?
iS Gather Business is an upcoming service from iS Gather, the free location-based social app, that lets cafés, shops and other local businesses appear on Gather's live 3D map as their own branded building, starting with New York and Tokyo. A free business account for posting updates, offers and events is already in the app; the Business plan will cost US$9.99 a month per location, with a free trial.
Works alongside Google Business Profile and Apple Business Connect: keep those listings. iS Gather adds a 3D presence on a live social map where people nearby meet and make plans.

How it will work
Three steps to your landmark
When Business launches, claiming your place takes a few minutes.
01
Find your place
Search for your business. We fill in the address, category and contact details for you.
02
Verify
Confirm it's yours with a code sent to your business email or phone, so nobody else can claim your spot.
03
Style your building
Pick a building, set your colours and put your name on the sign. People nearby see it on the map.
Try it now
Make it yours
Pick colours and watch the building change. The same guardrails will apply at launch, so your sign always stays readable.
When Business launches, brands with several locations can run them from one place.
01
One brand kit
Set your logo, colours and building once. Lock what must stay the same and let locations adjust the rest.
02
Location managers
Invite a manager or franchisee for each location to keep hours, photos, offers and events up to date.
03
Volume pricing
One invoice for all locations, with lower prices as you add more. Details at launch.
FAQ
Questions businesses ask
When does iS Gather Business launch?
Business is coming soon and will open city by city. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when it opens in your city.
Is the business account free?
Yes. A business account in the Gather app is free today: post videos and updates, share offers and host events. The paid Business plan adds the 3D landmark.
What will the Business plan cost?
Launch pricing is $9.99 a month per location, with a free trial that starts once your place is verified. If you stop paying, your place goes back to a free pin and your design is kept for 90 days.
How do you check that a business is really mine?
With a code sent to an email address on your business website's domain, or a phone code to the listed number. If neither works, a postcard to your address or a document review by our team.
Do I need to make a 3D model?
No. You pick one of 12 ready-made buildings, then choose your colours, sign text and logo. Logos and sign text are reviewed before they appear on the map.
I run several locations. Can I manage them together?
Yes. One brand kit applies to every location, you decide what each location manager can change, and volume pricing applies when you add more locations.
