Why Buddiz

Sport is better together

  • Sport together

    When motivation drops, other people keep you going

    When the days get shorter and motivation drops, that is often when people give up. Together, you keep at it: someone is waiting for you, so you go.

  • 1 account, all your sports

    You run in the morning, play padel in the evening and football on weekends? One Buddiz is enough.

  • With your sports apps

    Nobody here looks at your time

    Seeing other people's times can make you doubt yourself, to the point of not daring to show up. On Buddiz, nobody compares, people meet up: every level, beginners included.

  • Women-only

    A space dedicated to women athletes

    Propose or join meetups reserved for women. The "Women only" filter shows just those, and the location and chat are only visible to participants.

    Who is behind Buddiz?

    Two athletes looking for people to train with

    In 2023, I was going through a different Facebook group for every padel venue. In 2025, deep in marathon training, I was looking for someone to join my long runs. We found nothing, so the two of us built it. We use it every week, just like you.

What they think

  • "Les randos en solo me faisaient peur. Avec Buddiz je pars en petit groupe le dimanche, ça m'a redonné envie de ressortir les chaussures."

    - Sarah, 35 ans, randonneuse à Rouen

  • "Ça fait six mois que je suis sur Rouen sans club. En deux semaines j'ai trouvé trois binômes de sortie longue qui ont ma cadence, c'est le jour et la nuit."

    - Clément, 31 ans, coureur à Rouen

  • "J'avais peur de reprendre le padel en arrivant au Havre, je connaissais personne. Là je joue deux fois par semaine avec des gens de mon niveau, et l'ambiance est top."

    - Camille, 28 ans, joueuse de padel à Le Havre

  • "Nouvelle sur Caen, je cherchais des partenaires de tennis réguliers sans repasser par la liste d'attente du club. En quelques jours j'avais un créneau fixe chaque semaine avec les mêmes joueurs."

    - Léa, 27 ans, joueuse de tennis à Caen

FAQ

You might be wondering

All questions
What is Buddiz?

Buddiz helps you find sports partners near you, host or join sessions, and see the same faces again week after week. The app is available on iOS, Android and the web.

Is Buddiz free?

Yes. The app is free, with no subscription. The only exception: an association or a company (a club set up as an association, for example) can ask for a contribution for their session (court hire, coaching). The price is then shown before you sign up.

How do I find buddiz near me?

On the home screen, “Buddiz to follow” suggests people who get moving near you: people you've already crossed paths with, people at your level in your sport, people free at the same times as you, or simply people active in your area.

How do I join someone else's session?

Open it from Discover, as a list or on the map, and tap “Join this session”. If the organiser approves each request, the button becomes “Request to join”: with no answer within 48h, or once it starts, your request is declined automatically. If it's full, choose “Join the waitlist”.

What is a women-only session?

Its organiser keeps it for women: it only shows up for women, and only they can join it. To see it, set in your profile that you're a woman. To join it, you also need a profile photo in which you can be recognised, and sometimes a certified profile: that's the default when the organiser is certified herself. If you're a woman, the option is offered when you create your own session.

Can I use the app without an account?

You need an account, and it's free. Without one, you can only open a link someone sent you, with some details hidden. To join, message or host, create your account.
