Plan trips together, not in ten group chats. Otw is a collaborative trip planner for people who plan with other people. Build a day-by-day itinerary, save the places you want to go, invite your group, and split the bill, without a spreadsheet and forty screenshots. PLAN THE DAY YOUR WAY Some trips need exact times. Some need "coffee, then whatever." Otw does both. • Rigid timeline: events on a clock with start times and durations • Flexible timeline: Morning, Afternoon and Evening blocks, no clock needed • Free gaps show how much time is actually open, so you can tap and fill them • Drag and drop to move an event to another day, block, or the shortlist A SHORTLIST, SO NOTHING GETS LOST Not every idea is ready for a time slot. Park it in the trip shortlist, keep alternatives next to the day they belong to, and schedule them once the plan firms up. Drafts let you start an event and finish it later. INVITE YOUR GROUP, KEEP THE PLAN INTACT Share a link and your group is in. Admins build the itinerary; members browse it and drop their ideas into the shortlist. Everyone contributes, nobody accidentally deletes day three. EXPENSES & SPLIT BILL Keep your group's trip spending in one place and stop chasing people for money. • Log a shared cost in seconds: amount, who paid, how to split it, and a title • Link an expense to an itinerary event, add a date and notes, or save it as a draft • Split evenly or by item, with tax and tip, so everyone pays only for what they had • Scan or upload receipts and let Otw itemize them for you • Track expenses in your preferred currency or the trip's currency • See balances for the whole group at a glance • Settle up and send friendly reminders • Admins can log expenses for anyone; members log their own COLLECTIONS: SAVE NOW, TRAVEL LATER Good places turn up long before the trip exists. Save them into named collections, like Hidden gems in Tokyo, Culinary experiences or Must-visit cities. Search across them and share a collection with collaborators. One place can sit in as many collections as you like. A HOME THAT PICKS UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Land on your active trips and your most recent saves, and tap once to get back into the plan. BUILT FOR REAL TRIPS • Open any spot in Google Maps straight from its event • Set your currency, units and hometown once • View your saved trips offline: no signal, still your plan • Sign in with Google or email Plan the trip. Split the bill. Then go on it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Otw at every 5 days against Dolan's fortnightly. Dolan's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
