The group trip planner app
The group trip planner where the crew actually decides
Every group trip dies the same death: 14 ideas in the group chat, zero decisions. Limbo is the group trip planner app that fixes the deciding — every plan can become a sealed vote, so the trip moves forward instead of stalling. Your first trip is free.
Just need one quick decision? Start a free group vote in 30 seconds — no app, no signup.
Most planner apps organize the trip but never decide it
Try the usual tools and you end up with a beautiful, shared itinerary that nobody agreed to. The list grows, the group chat scrolls, and the loudest friend wins by default. The hard part of a group trip was never storing the plan — it's getting six people to commit to one.
Limbo starts from the decision. Turn any idea — a restaurant, a day trip, a splurge hotel — into a proposal, set a deadline, and let the crew vote. It's the ballot box for group trips.
Sealed votes, so nobody just copies the loudest friend
Votes stay sealed until the deadline passes or everyone has voted — so early votes don't sway the rest, and quieter people actually weigh in. When the ballot closes, the reveal shows the full tally, including who didn't vote. The threshold you set decides it, 60% by default, and a question can stay open for up to 30 days — but it can't stay open forever.
Every open ballot across every trip lands in one Decisions inbox on your home screen, so nothing quietly stalls. It's the same mechanic whether you're deciding a bachelorette weekend or a three-generation family trip.
The whole trip in one place — not five apps
Flights, hotels, restaurants, and activities live on one shared timeline the whole crew can see. Forward a booking confirmation (PDFs too) and Limbo reads it and drops it into the right trip for a one-tap confirm. Live flight tracking pushes delay and gate-change alerts, and a day-by-day calendar keeps everyone on the same page.
Money is handled without the spreadsheet: track the budget as you plan, split any cost equally or by custom shares, and let Settle up turn it into a clean who-owes-whom list. Divvy up the errands with Pitch In tasks and shared checklists. For the full tour, see the feature rundown or the deeper group trip planning guide.
Get the crew in — even the ones who never install anything
Share one link or a six-character code and friends jump straight into the trip. The friend who refuses to download another app? Send them a web ballot from web.getlimbo.app/new and they vote in the browser — no app, no account, 30 seconds. It's the fastest way to settle a trip with friends who are scattered across three group chats.
Downloading Limbo and making an account are free, and so is joining a trip. Your first trip is free to run end-to-end — after that, more trips are a small in-app upgrade. Fresh out of ideas? Start with a shortlist of group trip ideas and put each one to a vote.
Group trip planner apps, answered
What is a group trip planner app?
It's an app that keeps a whole crew's trip in one place — flights, hotels, restaurants, activities, and costs — instead of scattered across a group chat, a shared note, and three different booking inboxes. The best ones do more than store the plan: they help the group actually decide it. That's the gap Limbo is built for — every plan can become a sealed vote, so the trip moves forward instead of stalling.
What's the best group trip planner app for a big group?
For a big group, the bottleneck isn't storage — it's deciding. Limbo replaces open-ended debate with structured votes: propose a plan, set a deadline, and everyone votes privately. Votes stay sealed until the deadline passes or everyone has voted, then Limbo reveals the full result, including who didn't weigh in. Your first trip is free; more trips are a small in-app upgrade.
Do all my friends need to install the app?
No. Friends join your trip with a six-character code or a link, and joining is free. And for a single quick decision, they don't need the app at all — share a web ballot from web.getlimbo.app/new and they vote right in the browser.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Limbo is offline-first — you can view, add, edit plans, and even vote with no signal, and everything syncs when you're back online. It's built for the plane, the ferry, and the mountain village with one bar. Trip chat and a few actions — like logging a new expense — still need a connection.
