Best Trip Planner for Groups in 2026

If you're coordinating a trip with friends, family, or a team, you need a planner that supports shared itineraries, clear roles, and one source of truth for dates, flights, and activities.

What do you look for in a trip planner?

Shared editing: multiple people can add or change items without copying spreadsheets or sending updates in chat. Roles: owner, editor, and viewer so you control who can edit versus only view. A day-by-day timeline so flights, hotels, and activities are tied to specific days and nothing gets lost. Free or transparent pricing so core planning isn't behind a paywall for basic collaboration.

How can trip planning apps help you? They give your crew one source of truth so everyone sees the same itinerary and can update it in real time.
