In one sentence
What is LetsPackUp?
LetsPackUp is a free group trip planner that keeps the whole trip — itinerary, map, shared expenses, packing lists and group chat — in one plan everyone in the group can edit in real time.
It plans, it doesn’t book: partner links take you to booking sites when you’re ready. There’s no paid tier and no subscription — we don’t even accept payments. Built by a one-person team, with no tracking, and your data is never sold.

FAQ
Questions travellers ask us
Is LetsPackUp really free?
Yes! LetsPackUp is completely free to use. We do not have a paid version or any premium subscriptions. All features are available to everyone at no cost.
How do I plan a group trip online?
Create a trip, invite your friends with a shareable link, and build the itinerary together in real time. Everyone can add activities, vote in polls, split expenses, and chat in one place — no spreadsheets or messy group chats. It's free and works on phone, tablet, and desktop.
How many people can join a trip?
There's no limit. Invite as many friends, family members, or travel companions as you like to any trip, at no cost — every feature stays free no matter how big your group gets.
How do I split travel expenses with friends?
Add expenses as you go in the Budget section and LetsPackUp tracks who paid and who owes what. It splits costs fairly across the group and shows a clear settle-up summary at the end of the trip, so nobody has to do the math. You can log expenses in multiple currencies.
Does it work offline?
Yes! We know travel often means spotty reception. LetsPackUp caches your itinerary, documents, and essential info on your device so you can access them offline. Changes will sync when you get back online.
Can I plan a trip with ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. Connect the assistant you already use, ChatGPT or Claude, to LetsPackUp, choose what it may reach, and switch it off again whenever you like.
Is LetsPackUp a good free alternative to TripIt and Wanderlog?
Yes. LetsPackUp is a 100% free group trip planner with collaborative itineraries, expense splitting, shared packing lists, group chat, polls, and an interactive map — features TripIt and Wanderlog often lock behind a Pro subscription. There's no paid tier, so every feature stays free for your whole group.
Do you book flights and hotels for me?
No. LetsPackUp is a collaborative planning tool, not a booking agency. We help you organize your itinerary, research destinations, and coordinate with friends. When you're ready to book, we provide links to trusted partners, but the actual reservation and payment happen on their sites.
Is there a LetsPackUp mobile app?
LetsPackUp is available on Google Play for Android, and it's also a Progressive Web App you can install on any phone, tablet, or desktop straight from your browser. Your trips sync across every device and stay available offline.
How does LetsPackUp make money if it's free?
LetsPackUp is a labor of love created by a one-man team—just a fellow travel enthusiast coding for the community. We earn revenue only if you choose to book through our partner links. We never take money directly from you, ensuring the platform remains free for everyone.
