Is Bantr a dating app?

Yes. Bantr is free to sign up and use. The free tier lets you watch debates, join as an audience member, vote in polls, and host debates up to 1 hour with up to 2 debaters and 5 rooms per day. Bantr Pro ($12.99/mo or $10/mo billed annually) unlocks longer debates, up to 4 debaters, unlimited rooms, custom categories, and analytics.

How does live debate voting work on Bantr?

Accepted Answer

Can anyone join a debate on Bantr, or just watch?

Question 6

What is the difference between Bantr and Twitter Spaces?

Accepted Answer

Twitter Spaces is an unstructured live audio hangout with no debate format, no pro/con sides, and no audience voting. Bantr is purpose-built for structured debate: speakers are assigned pro or con positions, the host manages who can speak, and the audience votes in real-time polls to see who is winning the argument.

Question 7

How do I become a speaker in a Bantr debate?

Accepted Answer

To become a speaker, join a live debate room as an audience member and click the 'Request to Speak' button. The host will receive your request and can approve or deny it. If approved, you join the stage with your microphone and optional camera enabled. You are automatically assigned to the debate side that needs a speaker.
