Somebody always ends up carrying the whole trip.

The problem isn't planning. It's that planning lands on one person.

Group travel apps tend to be built for the organiser. They give that one person better tools for a job that shouldn't have been theirs alone — a neater itinerary to broadcast, a tidier spreadsheet to chase people with. The work stays in the same place. It just looks more organised.

Meanwhile everyone else is a spectator with a payment obligation. They don't know what's booked, they don't know what's next, and they find out what they owe at the end, as a number with no explanation attached.

We didn't want to build a better tool for the organiser. We wanted the trip to stop having one.

So GoTripping is a shared layer, not an admin panel. Anyone on the trip can add a place, confirm whether they're coming, upload their own ticket, see what's happening tomorrow, and check exactly what they owe and why — without asking anyone. The person who started the trip still steers it. They just stop carrying it alone.

Splitting evenly is easy. It's just not fair.

Every group knows this and most groups let it slide. A family of four pays the same as a solo traveller. A seven-year-old who ate half a dosa is billed like an adult who ordered a second round. A grandparent who skipped the boat trip pays for the boat trip. Nobody says anything, because raising it feels petty — and because the alternative is maths nobody wants to do on holiday.

GoTripping does the maths. Every traveller carries a weight, and the bill divides by weights rather than by headcount.

What we hold to

The numbers are never behind a paywall.

Logging expenses and reading the full ledger and balances is free on every trip, whatever its size. Charging a group to find out what they owe each other would be a bad way to make money.

One person pays. Everyone travels.

A Trip Pass covers everyone on one trip for up to 4 weeks, followed by 4 weeks to settle up, with 500 MB of storage per trip. A longer trip needs another Pass for that same trip: a two-month trip is 4 + 4 weeks of trip, then 4 weeks of settlement. It is not a subscription and never renews automatically. Passes do not transfer between trips or accounts. A group of nine shouldn't need nine subscriptions to share one holiday.

We never touch your money.

GoTripping works out who owes whom and displays the amounts to settle. You make the transfers yourself in your own payment apps. We collect no payment handles, build no payment or deep links, hold no funds and take no cut of a settlement. The ledger is a record of what your group agreed — the money moves where it always did.

We don't read your messages.

You can paste a bank or UPI payment text in and we'll turn it into an expense. That's a thing you do, not a thing we do in the background. GoTripping never asks for SMS-reading permission.

No ads, and nothing sold about you.

There is no advertising in GoTripping and we don't sell or rent personal data. Trip documents go into a Vault that's encrypted on your device before it reaches us — we can't read what's in it, and neither can anyone hosting it for us.

Built for two countries that split money very differently

Group travel is universal. How a group actually settles up is not — and most apps pick one market's habits and make everyone else adapt. GoTripping is built natively for both of ours.

One purchase per Pass, whichever country you're in — and a trip stays free up to three travellers, seven days and the starter storage allowance. Full detail is in the Terms of Service.
