Plan the trip together. Split the costs automatically. No WhatsApp chaos. Every group trip runs across three apps: one for the itinerary, one for the money, and a group chat for the mess in between. Troupe is all of it in one shared space. ONE SHARED TRIP Invite your group straight from Messages or WhatsApp — they tap the link and see everything. No accounts, no signups: it works through iCloud, which everyone already has. The itinerary, the costs, the packing list — everyone sees every update, live. THE MONEY SORTS ITSELF • Whoever fronts the Airbnb adds it once — split across the group in two taps • Balances update instantly: who's ahead, who owes • "Who pays whom" works out the fewest possible transfers to settle up • Expenses attach to plans, so the dinner on Tuesday knows Jess paid the deposit • No daily expense limits. Ever. THE PLAN EVERYONE CAN SEE • Day-by-day itinerary: flights, stays, dinners, activities — with times, places, and confirmation refs • Shared packing list with check-off • Booking confirmations and tickets stored as photos, offline • Works with no signal — everything lives on your phone BUILT FOR THE ORGANIZER Planning a hen weekend, a stag do, a family holiday with eight opinions?
