What if planning trips with friends, splitting expenses, and keeping tickets and reservations handy could all happen in one app? We built Tripals after one too many trips where we’d scroll back through the group chat to figure out the plan, try to remember who paid for dinner, and ask someone to resend the tickets. We wanted a shared space where everyone could help plan the trip and find what they needed along the way. With Tripals, say goodbye to chaotic travel planning and focus on what truly makes your trip exciting.

SPLIT GROUP EXPENSES • Log shared expenses and link them to itinerary activities. • Choose who shares each cost and see who owes what. • Use the group balances to settle up at the end of the trip. KEEP TRAVEL DOCUMENTS HANDY • Save flight details, accommodation reservations, and tickets in one shared place. • Link documents to itinerary activities so everyone can find the right ticket or reservation when it’s time to go.
