Group trips
Plan a road trip with friends — nobody needs an account
One link to share · edit links for co-planners · version history · no sign-ups
The fastest way to kill a group trip's momentum is a sign-up wall — four people, four accounts, one abandoned plan. In Stopful the trip lives in a link: whoever you send it to can open it, and if you give them the edit link, plan it with you. No accounts, for anyone.
Free · no sign-up · no ads — the whole trip lives in a shareable link
How it works
- 1
Plan the first draft
Drop the stops, set the nights — thirty seconds of map beats an hour of group chat.
- 2
Share it
Share copies a view link anyone can open. Share for editing (in the More menu) creates an edit link for the people actually planning.
- 3
Friends edit, no sign-up
They open the link and move stops, add nights, drop pins — same trip, same map, no account.

Nothing gets lost
If two people save around the same time, Stopful reconciles instead of overwriting — and Version history (More menu) lets you view and restore any earlier version of the trip.
Built for how groups actually plan
Group planning is asynchronous: someone rearranges the route at midnight, someone else checks it over coffee. Stopful leans into that — a shared trip, safe concurrent saves, and a version history so “who deleted Ljubljana?” has an answer and an undo. The budget travels with the trip too, so everyone argues about the same number. Sign-in exists (Google) but it's optional and personal — it syncs your trips across your devices, and is never required to collaborate.
When Wanderlog is the better tool
If your group wants to edit the same itinerary simultaneously — live cursors, comments, voting on restaurants — that's Wanderlog's home turf and it's genuinely good at it (everyone will need an account). Stopful's collaboration is link-based and asynchronous by design. The Stopful vs Wanderlog comparison is honest about the split.
Plan a road trip with friends — nobody needs an account — FAQ
- Can I plan a road trip with friends without everyone creating an account?
- Yes — that's the point. The trip lives in a link: share the view link with anyone, and the edit link (More menu → Share for editing) with your co-planners. Nobody needs an account to open or edit it.
- What happens if two of us edit at the same time?
- Stopful saves safely: concurrent saves are reconciled rather than overwritten, so one person's edit doesn't silently wipe out another's.
- Someone wrecked the route. Can I undo it?
- Yes — Version history in the More menu shows earlier versions of the trip and lets you restore one.
- Is it really free for the whole group?
- Yes. Planning, sharing and co-editing are free and account-free for everyone. Google sign-in is optional and only adds cross-device sync for your own trips.

- Budget a road trip before you've booked a thing
Or start from a blank map — Stopful shows drive times between stops, finds hotels and EV chargers along the route, and estimates what the trip will cost before you book any of it.
