Global Gladiators vs TripIt

These two solve different halves of the same problem. TripIt turns confirmation emails into an ordered reservation timeline; Global Gladiators builds the day-by-day plan a group follows, with the budget and the group's conversation attached to it.

If your group keeps asking “what are we doing today?”, the plan is the gap — not the reservation list.

Start free. Share one trip for $5 once, or 12 trips for $25 a year — no per-traveler seats.
