The Challenge
Why planning a group trip is harder than it should be
You've been there. Someone drops "We should totally go to Portugal!" in the group chat, and suddenly there are 47 unread messages, three competing spreadsheets, and one person doing all the actual work. Between conflicting schedules, different budgets, and the sheer chaos of coordinating travel preferences across a group, most trips stall out before anyone books a flight.
Group travel planning doesn't fail because people don't want to go — it fails because there's no single place to organize the conversation, the itinerary, and the money. That's exactly the problem Plan Harmony was built to solve: a group travel planning app that replaces scattered chats and spreadsheets with one collaborative workspace where everyone can contribute.
How It Works
How the Plan Harmony group trip planner works
Four simple steps to go from "we should take a trip" to a fully planned group itinerary.
Create a trip & invite your group
Start a new trip in seconds and share a link with friends, family, or travel companions. Everyone joins the same workspace where they can see the full picture — no more scattered group chats or forwarded emails. Your trip lives in one organized hub from day one.
Collaborate on your itinerary
Build your day-by-day itinerary together in real time. Anyone in the group can add activities, suggest restaurants, or rearrange the schedule. The shared calendar keeps everyone aligned so nothing gets double-booked and every day has the right balance of adventure and downtime.
Vote on activities & decisions
No more endless back-and-forth trying to pick between options. Propose activities and let the group vote — whether it's choosing a hotel, picking a day trip, or deciding where to eat. Everyone gets a voice, and the group reaches consensus quickly without anyone feeling left out.
Track your budget & split expenses
Log expenses as they happen and split costs fairly across the group. See running totals, who owes whom, and how your spending compares to your budget — all updated in real time. No more awkward end-of-trip spreadsheets or Venmo guesswork.
Group Trip Features
Powerful features for collaborative group travel
Everything your group needs to plan, decide, and travel together — built into one group travel app.
Shared Calendar & Itinerary Builder
Plan Harmony's drag-and-drop itinerary builder lets your whole group collaborate on a shared calendar. Add flights, accommodations, activities, and free time — all visible to everyone. Changes sync instantly, so the group always sees the latest version. Color-coded categories make it easy to scan the schedule at a glance, and the day-by-day view ensures nothing gets overlooked.
Learn about itinerary planning →Group Voting & Decision Making
Deciding where to stay or what to do shouldn't require a 200-message group chat. Plan Harmony's voting feature lets anyone propose options and the group votes directly in the app. Results are tallied automatically, and the winning choice can be added to the itinerary in one tap. It's the fastest way to turn group opinions into concrete plans without anyone dominating the conversation.
See group planning in action →Budget Tracking & Expense Splitting
Group finances get messy fast. Plan Harmony's budget tracker logs every expense, assigns it to the right people, and calculates balances in real time. Set a trip budget upfront and watch how each purchase moves the needle. At the end of the trip, everyone knows exactly who owes what — no spreadsheets, no awkward conversations, and no guessing about that dinner bill from night three.
Explore budget features →AI-Powered Recommendations
Not sure what to do in a new city? Plan Harmony's AI assistant analyzes your group's interests, travel dates, and destination to suggest activities, restaurants, and hidden gems tailored to your trip. Get personalized recommendations that go beyond generic top-ten lists, and add them to your itinerary with a single tap. It's like having a local guide built into your planning workflow.
Compare AI travel features →Experience Marketplace
Browse over 6,000 curated tours, excursions, and local experiences directly inside Plan Harmony. Filter by destination, group size, activity type, and budget to find experiences everyone will love. Book directly through the app and the activity automatically appears on your shared itinerary — no copy-pasting confirmation emails or switching between booking sites and planning tools.
