Stopful

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. 1

    Plan the first draft

    Drop the stops, set the nights — thirty seconds of map beats an hour of group chat.

  2. 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. 3

    Friends edit, no sign-up

    They open the link and move stops, add nights, drop pins — same trip, same map, no account.

  4. 4

    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.
