The real problem with group vacations
It is never the destination that causes stress. It is the logistics: who booked what, who paid for dinner, what time is the airport transfer, did anyone pack the adapter. The information ends up in three chats, two emails and a screenshot nobody can find.
Troupe puts all of it in one trip that every invitee can open on their phone.
Shared itinerary
Flights, check-in times, restaurant reservations and day-trip plans in one timeline everyone can follow.
Automatic cost splitting
Add an expense, choose who was included, and Troupe recalculates balances. Equal or custom splits.
Packing list
A shared checklist so the group does not arrive at a self-catering villa without a corkscrew.
Booking documents
Store confirmation PDFs, tickets and screenshots beside the booking they belong to.
The workflow: decide, book, share, track, settle
- Decide — use the trip to float options and dates. Everyone can see what is on the table.
- Book — whoever books adds the details and attaches the confirmation. One source of truth.
- Share — invite the group with a link. No accounts, no sign-ups, just iCloud.
- Track — log expenses as the vacation happens. Live balances keep things transparent.
- Settle — after the trip, Troupe shows the minimum transfers needed. Send payment links from the app.
Why Troupe instead of Splitwise + Google Docs
Splitwise is great for splitting bills. Google Docs is great for documents. But a vacation needs both, plus a timeline, plus a packing list, plus booking references. Troupe replaces the multi-app shuffle with one shared trip. And because it syncs through iCloud, there is no Troupe server holding your data.
