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 Everyone sees the same itinerary, the same checklist and the same budget, so nobody is working from an outdated screenshot.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.

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? You're the one holding it together. Troupe Pro is priced for exactly you: the organizer subscribes, and everyone you invite collaborates completely free — always. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Troupe has no servers. Your trips sync through your own iCloud and are shared with exactly the people you invite — Apple's infrastructure end to end.

Troupe Pro: unlimited trips and any group size — $3.99/month, cancel anytime, or $29.99 once, yours forever.
