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. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. PRICING THAT MAKES SENSE Free: one active trip with up to 4 people — a full group trip, genuinely free. Troupe Pro: unlimited trips and any group size — $3.99/month, cancel anytime, or $29.99 once, yours forever.

The trip deserves a plan. The planner deserves a break. Roam.io brings your travel group, itinerary, bookings and shared expenses into one place. Plan a weekend with friends, a couples escape or a family adventure without losing the details in a sea of messages. ONE PLAN THE WHOLE GROUP CAN FOLLOW Organize destinations, cities, dates and activities in a shared trip. Switch between a day timeline and a chronological overview. Remember your selected city and day, and open expense and document shortcuts from Home. Keep stays and transport alongside the plan, with booking PDFs uploaded or linked from trip documents. Invite companions with clear roles, track tasks and keep notes close. YOUR OUTFITS. ONLY YOURS. Build a private photo wardrobe in My Outfits. Upload a look once and reuse it across trips. Open your looks from the selected itinerary day. Browse a compact gallery, edit dates from each photo and give an outfit a different name for each trip. Your outfit photos are never shared with collaborators. Explorer includes 50 outfits per account; Voyager includes 200. Reusing a photo does not use another slot. MEET RUMI, YOUR AI TRAVEL COMPANION Ask travel questions, get destination ideas, draft a trip or suggest itinerary changes. Conversations stay private. You review and approve proposed changes before they reach your shared trip. See credit costs before sending and follow usage in Credit History. CONNECT GOOGLE CALENDAR Add a dedicated trip calendar for dates, activities, stays and transport. Explorer updates when you tap Sync now. Voyager syncs changes automatically. Private outfits, booking documents, notes and expenses are excluded. Google authorization and an internet connection are required; sync is from Roam.io to Google Calendar. SAVE THE SPARK Save reels, videos, links and places to My ideas. Share selected inspiration or link it to a trip, vote together and turn favorites into activity drafts. SPLIT COSTS. KEEP IT CLEAR. Enter an amount and description, see each person’s share and record who paid. Split equally or use percentages, shares or exact amounts. Record settlements and review clear balances; Roam.io does not transfer money. Attach receipts and preserve foreign purchase currencies. See spending across trips without mixing unrelated currency totals. STAY IN THE LOOP Keep messages, invitations, friend-request acceptance and trip updates in Inbox. Receive task and booking updates. Push delivery depends on your device and notification settings. TAKE THE PLAN WITH YOU Save trips for read-only offline access to itineraries, stays, transport, tasks, expenses, ideas and private outfits. On iOS and Android, saved document files and linked outfit photos are downloaded for offline use. Explorer allows 5 saved trips per device; Voyager allows 20. Live maps, AI, new messages and calendar sync need a connection. Refresh your saved copy before departure. Explore destination guides, save places you want to visit and discover trip stories in Tribe. Use the same account on web, iPhone, iPad and Android. Explorer is included with your account. Voyager public upgrades are coming soon; joining the waitlist does not activate Voyager. No bookings or payments are made by Roam.io. AI suggestions use credits and need your review. Check opening hours, prices and travel requirements before you go.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Roam.io at none against Troupe's 2. Roam.io also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
