Where Roadtrippers is strong

Planning together needs a paid plan, the free tier holds one trip with three stops, and it has no voting or shared costs.
Where Visby is different
- Everyone plans, not just the organizer. Friends join from one link in their browser, add ideas and rank stays, food and activities.
- The plan fits the group. Each person shares their tastes, pace and budget, and Ask Visby drafts the day-by-day itinerary around all of them.
- One board for the whole trip. The map of every day, travel time between cities, shared costs and a recap to share afterwards live in the same place.
Try it: start a free trip board, no account needed.
