Plans don't die here. TripSquad is how groups of friends actually plan trips together, and how solo travelers plan the ones nobody else is free for. Every group has one trip that's "definitely happening." The one that lives in the group chat for six months and never actually happens. TripSquad takes the trip out of the group chat. Or, if you're going alone, takes the planning out of seventeen browser tabs. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a trip. Name it, pick a rough vibe, add dates. Solo or with a squad. 2. Invite your squad by @tag or link. No one else needs to download the app. Squad members fill out their preferences in a branded web form on their phone. 3. Let Scout generate options. Our AI travel companion takes everyone's vibes, budget, and travel style and suggests destinations that work for the whole squad. Or just for you. 4. Vote together. Everyone picks their favorite. Each destination shows whether it fits the squad's budget, slightly stretches it, or goes over. Ties are broken by Scout. 5. Destination reveals. A cinematic reveal plus a shareable boarding pass. 6. Run the trip from one place. Day-by-day itinerary, squad chat, packing list, trip photos, Scout-picked stays and eats, booking coordination, and a passport stamp when you get home. WHAT YOU GET - Invite by @tag or link. Add squadmates by their TripSquad handle, or share a link with anyone. Recipients fill out their preferences in the browser. No download needed. - Scout, the AI travel companion. Not a chatbot. A planner. Scout helps with destinations, itineraries, packing, day-of tips, hotel picks, restaurant picks, and budget fit across the whole squad. Pick a tone that fits how you actually talk: standard, chill, or terse. - Squad Budget Fit. Anonymous by default. Scout sees what everyone can afford, finds the shared zone, and tunes picks to match. Never share your number. Just whether you're in the same range. - Stays + Eats. Scout-picked hotels and restaurants for every trip. Real places, real prices, neighborhood and "why I picked it" reasoning, maps and booking buttons on every card. - Book tab. Coordinate flights and accommodation as a squad. Anchor flights, group-stay tracker, deadlines, lock-in celebrations. - Full group chat. Replies, reactions, mentions, voice memos, photos, pinned messages. - DMs with squadmates. Planning happens in public, coordination happens in private. - Destination hubs. Real info for every place you vote on, not stock filler. - Trip recaps and stamps. When the trip ends, you get a recap card and a passport stamp to keep. - Trip Pulse and Sunday Brief. Smart, scheduled push reminders before, during, and after each trip, plus a weekly digest of every trip you're on. Built with anti-spam gates so we only show up when it matters. - Light and dark, both done right. Daylight light mode for the morning. Cinematic dark mode for everything else. Pick one or let your phone decide. DESIGNED FOR GROUPS, AND ANYONE GOING IT ALONE TripSquad is built around the reality of travel: different preferences, different budgets, different availabilities. Group trips get a coordination layer. Solo trips get a smarter planner. Either way, everyone gets a voice and nobody has to spreadsheet. PRIVACY AND SAFETY Your trip, your squad, your data. Block, report, and delete account are all one tap from your profile. If you delete your account while hosting trips, the most-engaged squadmate inherits the trip so the squad's work isn't lost. We use industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest. Full privacy policy at gettripsquad.com/privacy. MADE BY AFIA LABS support@afialabs.net gettripsquad.com

Every group trip has the same three problems. Nobody knows what time anything starts. Every booking is a screenshot buried in a chat somewhere. And one person has quietly paid for most of it. Deline fixes all three. THE LINE Your trip runs as a single line down the screen, the way a metro map works. Four colored rails run alongside it: food, activities, stays and transport. Every plan is a stop on one of them, in the order it actually happens, so you can read the shape of a whole day without reading a word. Tap a stop and everything about it is there. Start and end times. The address, with directions one tap away. The booking reference. Photos from the group. What it cost and who it was split between. GETTING THINGS ONTO IT Add a stop by hand in a few taps. Or just share the confirmation. Drop in a flight PDF or a screenshot of a hotel booking and Deline reads it, then builds the stop for you: times, airports, dates, reference number. If something is missing it asks you for it instead of guessing. THE MONEY, WHICH IS THE REAL REASON Point the camera at a receipt and Deline reads it line by line. Then you tap faces against items. The two beers are yours, the table shared the bread. Currency is converted on the way in, so a 20 dollar run to 7-Eleven lands in the trip in euros and nobody opens a calculator. Costs that are not receipts go in just as fast. Split evenly, or pick exactly who was there. Then the part that matters. Deline keeps the balances up to date and reduces them to the shortest set of payments. Six people who owe each other in every direction usually settle in two or three transfers instead of fifteen. Do it mid-trip or on the way home. THE GROUP Send one link. People join with their own name and photo, and from then on everyone is looking at the same trip. Someone moves dinner an hour and it moves on five phones at once. No forwarding, no version of the plan that only exists on one person's device. FREE AND PREMIUM Deline is free, and the free version is the actual app. The line, the trip, the splitting, the settle-up. None of the trip is behind a wall. Premium raises the limits: more receipt scans, more booking imports, more photos on the trip. It also works the way group trips work. If one person on the trip has Premium, the higher limits apply to everyone on that trip. Only one of you needs to pay. Your Trip, One Line.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TripSquad at none against Deline's 2. TripSquad also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
