Why JourneyGrid
The parts of a group trip that make you nuts.
You know the ones. This is what they look like when the app handles them for you.
Meals
Every ingredient has a name on it
Everyone taps to grab what they’ll bring. The shopping list writes itself. Nothing gets forgotten and nobody buys the same thing twice.
Gear
One packing list, everyone picks
Speakers, coolers, sunscreen, the good knife. Everyone picks what they’re bringing so nobody shows up with three of the same thing.
Who’s ready
See who’s all set, without asking
One page shows what’s still missing - meals, rooms, rides, gear - by person. No more "hey, did you ever pick a bed?"
Rooms
Who’s sleeping where
Paste the Airbnb or hotel link. The address and photo fill in for you. Everyone picks a bed. No more debating which house is booked.
Money
Split gas and groceries in one tap
Log what you paid as it happens. The app splits it across the group and tells everyone who owes whom by the end of the trip.
Rides
Cars, seats, and when they’re leaving
Add a car with open seats. Set the day and time you’re heading up. Anyone who needs a ride grabs a seat.
The difference
The group chat was never going to cut it.
You’ve been the one keeping track of it all. Here’s what your phone can’t do for you, and what this can.
| What you need | Group chat | Spreadsheet | JourneyGrid |

Loved by the friend who plans everything
"Finally, no more group chat chaos."
"I planned my sister’s bachelorette in a weekend. Everyone picked their bed, their ride, and what they’re bringing without me sending a single "hey are you coming?" text."

Inside the app
Here’s what the app actually looks like.
No stock photos. Real screens from a real trip.
Real stories, when they come in
We’re early - would you share yours?
We’d rather have three real quotes than thirty invented ones. If JourneyGrid made a trip easier for your crew, we’d love to hear about it.
- We’ll never publish your story without asking first
- Email is optional - only used if we might quote you
- Bug reports and rough edges welcome, too

Frequently asked
Questions about JourneyGrid
What is JourneyGrid?
JourneyGrid (also written "Journey Grid") is a group trip planning app that replaces messy group chats and lost spreadsheets with one shared plan for lodging, meals, rides, gear, and every other logistic. It’s built for bachelorette weekends, ski trips, work retreats, family reunions, camping, road trips, and any other kind of group trip.
Is JourneyGrid the same thing as the "journey grid" customer experience framework?
No. JourneyGrid is a software product for planning group trips. The unrelated "journey grid" or "customer journey mapping grid" is a UX / marketing framework used in customer experience research. They share a name but are completely different things.
How much does JourneyGrid cost?
Attending any trip is 100% free forever. Only the person hosting bigger trips pays. Free covers trips up to 5 people. Pro ($14.99/yr) covers up to 25 people. Unlimited ($149.99/yr) removes the cap entirely.
Do I need to download an app?
No. JourneyGrid works in any browser and can be installed as a PWA (Progressive Web App) on iOS and Android home screens for a native-app feel with push notifications.
Can I use JourneyGrid for a bachelorette or bachelor party?
Yes. There’s a dedicated trip type for both, with vacation rental + dinner + activity coordination, dietary flags, and matching-outfit checklists.
How is JourneyGrid different from a group chat or spreadsheet?
Group chats bury information under 300 unread messages. Spreadsheets go stale in 48 hours. JourneyGrid is a live shared board where every attendee sees the current plan in real time, gets push notifications when things change, and can claim their spot (room, ride, meal role) without a back-and-forth.
What kinds of trips can I plan with JourneyGrid?
Group vacations, bachelorette weekends, bachelor parties, ski and snowboard trips, work retreats and team offsites, camping and outdoor trips, family reunions, road trips, wedding weekends, and more. The modules turn on and off per trip so the app adapts to what you’re planning.
