TripProf is a group trip planner that keeps your entire trip in one app: the itinerary, the guides, the expenses, the packing list, the documents and the memories. Plan a trip together with friends or family, split what it costs, and keep a map of everywhere you have been. Group trip planning Invite your travel companions and plan together in real time. Everyone sees the same itinerary, the same checklist and the same budget, so nobody is working from an outdated screenshot. Up to 30 people on a trip, with no per-person fee. Day by day itinerary on a map Build each day on a map of your destination, or let smart autoplanning draft the days and edit anything afterwards. Add stays, transport and whatever you have already booked, and the plan works around it. Split expenses with your group Track what everyone spends in any currency, split costs between travel companions, and settle up at the end without a spreadsheet or an awkward conversation. TripProf shows who owes whom, and how much. Personalized travel guides Tell us where you are going and what matters to you. TripProf writes a guide for your destination covering local customs, safety, budgets, food and the details most travelers only learn after they arrive. Atlas, your travel map Paint every country you have visited on a world map, see how much of the world you have actually reached, and collect medals as the map fills in. Group your visits into Journeys, add a line and photos to the Logbook, and share your map as a card or a short video. Switch the map between street, satellite and terrain. Trip Inbox Forward a booking confirmation to your trip and TripProf pulls out the flight, hotel or rental details and files them where they belong. No copying dates between apps. Smart checklists Packing and to do lists shaped by your destination, the season and how you travel. Shared with the group, so two people do not both pack the adapter. Trip documents Passports, bookings, insurance and tickets in one trip folder, quick to find when someone asks for them. Trip memories Photos, notes and the small moments, organised by trip and kept alongside everything else. Works without WiFi Your guides, itinerary, expenses and checklists stay readable when the connection does not. No ads, ever We do not run ads and we do not sell your data. We make money when you find TripProf useful enough to buy credits. A group trip with friends, a family holiday, or a week away on your own: TripProf keeps the whole thing in one place. We built this because we were tired of juggling scattered notes, screenshots and tabs. Hope it helps you too. Subscription and credit options available. See in-app for pricing details.
