If your group planned with Troupe, you may have noticed that it is gone. The app that let friends vote on where to go and what to do there no longer has a website or an App Store listing.
JetBlue Travel Products, part of the airline, launched Troupe in 2022 as a free app for making group decisions before you book. Friends could suggest, vote and comment on dates, destinations, activities and stays, answer RSVPs and polls, and keep notes and a message board for each trip.
Is Troupe shut down? It appears so. As of October 3, 2026, its website no longer loads and its App Store listing is gone. A newer app with a similar name is not the same app.
The good news is that everything Troupe did, another app now does, and some go further. We make one of them, so we have tried to be fair: each app below is described from its own site and store listing, checked in October 2026.
What Troupe did, and what to look for
Votes on activities and stays
An app where everyone votes on real places, not on a list one person typed up.
Polls on dates and destinations
Polls or a short survey the whole group answers before anything is booked.
RSVPs
Invitations with a deadline, so you know who is really in.
A message board for each trip
Notes or a chat that stay with the trip, instead of getting lost in the group chat.
No single app copies Troupe exactly. The alternatives fall into two kinds: apps for deciding before the trip, with polls, surveys and RSVPs, and apps that also plan the days once the group has decided.
The short answer
Vote on what to do, and get the day-by-day plan built
SwipeSights
Polls in the browser, guests without an account
WePlanify
RSVPs and surveys before anything else
Let's Jetty
Vote on ideas, then plan a route with many stops
Stippl
A shared calendar with votes and a chat
Plan Harmony
A free workspace with stays to book
Pilot
The alternatives
SwipeSights
Full disclosure: we make this one. SwipeSights picks up where Troupe's votes on activities left off: everyone votes by swiping on real places in the city, and the votes become the plan.
Like Troupe
- Everyone has a say: right to like, up for a must-see, left to skip
- Friends swipe from a link, without the app or an account
- See what everyone loved, place by place
Beyond Troupe
- The plan is built from the votes: days grouped by area, each in walking order, around opening hours, with meals in between
- A must-see counts for more than a like, and is the last thing cut from a full day
- Split costs: who paid, and who owes whom, in 15 currencies
- Hotels ranked by how far you would walk to the plan
Missing: Polls on dates or destinations. You choose the city, then the group decides what to do there.
Price: Free: unlimited trips, the plan opens 3 days, groups of up to 3. Trip Pass from $12.99 or Year Pass from $29.99: every day, groups of up to 20, multi-city, offline and a PDF.
Works on: iPhone and the web (no Android app yet)
Best for: Groups who know where they are going and want everyone to choose what to do there.

Three more you will see on older lists: Wanderlog is a shared itinerary and map you edit together, Frienzy keeps a group in sync once the plan exists, and Splitwise only splits costs. None of them lists voting, so they replace other apps more than they replace Troupe. All three are in our comparison of group trip planner apps.

Starting again after Troupe
Rebuilding a trip takes less time than it sounds, as long as the decisions happen in the right order.
- Settle the dates and the city first. A poll or a short survey does it. Our group trip survey has the questions, and how to decide where to go has a fair way to vote.
- Create the trip and share one link. Everyone joins from the same place, instead of five screenshots in the chat.
- Let everyone vote on what to do. Real places, each person on their own phone, nobody choosing for the whole group.
- Build the plan, then book. Tickets, tours and a stay close to where the days actually go.
- Keep the costs with the trip. Log who paid as you go, and settle up once you are home.
