Trip Loop is the platform that helps you communicate and find your group with and without internet. You will find all the information you ‘need’ about your trip in one place. You choose with who you want to share your location with (or not share it all with incognito mode). All users / travelers can chat with their group and share pictures with them. You will always know where you need to go and how to get there, so you can stop being lost whenever you want. With Trip Loop, group administrators are able to coordinate and service their travelers within minutes. They can also automatically collect user feedback and know whenever a user checks-in into activities. In case the group faces a situation where the administration needs to know where the users are, the safety mode allows you to locate the GPS locations of users in order to better manage the situation. Each Trip Loop user has an offline range of 328 feet (100 mts), so 16 users can cover an area of 1 sq. mile and still be able to communicate texts via the Trip Loop feed, receive any itinerary updates and access offline maps to find your group and activities.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Trip Loop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Goki has 140 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Trip Loop's written reviews are positive against 70% of Goki's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Trip Loop ships an update every 5 weeks, Goki every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
