Volta is the group trip planning app that actually gets you out of the group chat. Plan a trip with friends without the endless back-and-forth. Volta brings everyone's dates, budgets, and preferences into one place, so you can go from "we should do a trip" to a real, booked itinerary. Private, Per-Person Budgets Everyone sets their own budget privately. No one else in the group ever sees what you can or want to spend. Volta uses it only to find options that actually fit. AI-Powered Recommendations Get real, ranked flight and hotel suggestions for your whole group at once, based on everyone's preferences and budget, not generic guesses. Volta Pro subscribers also get AI-powered day-by-day activity suggestions. Day-by-Day Itinerary Build out your trip day by day, add places to do, and keep everyone on the same page. Flights & Hotels, Tracked Add your flights and hotels and keep every confirmation in one place. No more digging through email. Volta Pro subscribers also get live flight status tracking. Find Dates That Actually Work Connect your calendar so Volta can help find dates when everyone in the group is actually free. We only ever read free/busy blocks, never event details.
