Tripals review
A free mobile workspace for coordinating group trips, schedules, bookings, and expenses.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tripals is a free mobile travel-planning app for friends, families, and other travel groups. It brings shared group itineraries together with personal schedules, activity planning, booking storage, travel documents, polls, expense splitting, and curated trip and destination discovery. Travelers can organize activities with dates and maps, keep individual plans alongside the group schedule, and store flight, accommodation, and ticket details in one shared space. The app is available on iOS and Android.
Its main strength is breadth within collaborative trip planning. Group polls support decisions about activities or plans, while shared itineraries keep those decisions connected to dates and locations. Reservation import, booking storage, and shared documents give the group a common reference point, and expense splitting addresses a practical part of traveling together. This combination should suit trips where several people need to coordinate, contribute information, and keep track of both collective and personal plans.
The free model makes Tripals accessible for groups that want one mobile planning space without choosing between paid tiers. Its focus is narrower than a general booking service: the product centers on organizing, sharing, storing, and discussing trip information rather than replacing every travel provider. Curated trip ideas may appeal to travelers still shaping their plans, while those with a fully fixed itinerary may use fewer of the discovery features. Choose Tripals for free, mobile-first group coordination across schedules, activities, documents, bookings, decisions, and shared costs. Travelers who prefer individual planning or desktop-led itinerary management may find its group-oriented mobile approach less suitable.
