Question 1

Do you handle payments or hold money?

Accepted Answer

No. We never process payments, hold funds in escrow, or require your bank information. We simply help you track who owes what and make it easy for your tripmates to find your payment details (Venmo, PayPal, Zelle) so they can pay you directly.

Question 2

Do you create or manage bookings?

Accepted Answer

No. We don't book hotels, flights, or rentals. We help your group share booking details (like lodging addresses and confirmation numbers) and vote on options together—but the actual booking happens through whichever service you prefer.

Question 3

Are you a travel agency?

Accepted Answer

No. We're a coordination tool, not a travel agency. We help groups of friends or multiple households plan trips together by organizing logistics, tracking shared expenses, and making sure everyone gets paid back fairly.

Question 4

What do you actually do?

Accepted Answer

We help groups coordinate trips from start to finish: plan together with date and lodging voting, stay organized with travel details and packing lists, split expenses fairly with automatic balance calculations, and settle up easily by sharing payment info so everyone can pay directly.

Question 5

Do I need to give you my bank information?

Accepted Answer

Never. We only store your optional payment handles (like your Venmo username or PayPal email) so your tripmates can find you and pay you directly. We never see or store bank account numbers, routing numbers, or card details.

Question 6

How does tally-up work if you don't handle payments?

Accepted Answer

We calculate exactly who owes whom and how much. Then you pay each other directly using Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, or however you prefer. We show your tripmates' payment info so it's one tap to pay them.

Question 7

Is my trip information secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your trips are private by default—only people you invite can see trip details. We use industry-standard encryption and secure authentication through Google Sign-In.

Question 8

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Core features for trip planning and expense splitting are completely free.

Question 9

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you'll sign in with Google to create and join trips. This lets us keep your trips secure and accessible across devices.

Question 10

How do I invite people to my trip?

Accepted Answer

Every trip has a unique invite link. Share it via text, email, or any messaging app. When someone clicks it, they can join your trip instantly.

Question 11

Is there a mobile app?

Accepted Answer

We work as a Progressive Web App (PWA). Visit the website on your phone and tap "Install" or "Add to Home Screen" for an app-like experience—no app store required.

Question 12

How does expense splitting work?

Accepted Answer

Anyone can log an expense (gas, groceries, cabin rental, etc.) and mark who it was split between. We automatically calculate running balances so you always know who owes what.

Question 13

Can I vote on trip dates?

Accepted Answer

Yes! If you're not sure when works best, create a trip with multiple date options and let everyone vote. Once you pick a winner, the dates are locked in.

Question 14

What's the lodging voting feature?

Accepted Answer

Add lodging options (Airbnbs, hotels, cabins) with links, prices, and photos. Everyone can upvote or downvote to help the group pick the best spot.

Question 15

How is this different from a spreadsheet?

Accepted Answer

Spreadsheets work, but they're a hassle. We automatically calculate balances, handle uneven splits, show who's paid whom, and work great on mobile. Plus your tripmates can add expenses themselves instead of one person doing all the tracking.

Question 16

How is this different from other expense splitting apps?

Accepted Answer

Most expense apps just track money. We're built specifically for trips—so you also get date voting, lodging options, travel coordination, packing lists, and gear assignments all in one place. It's the full trip coordination toolkit.
