explore Step 1 · Discover

Start from a real event

Concerts, games, festivals and local happenings from every source, all in one feed for your area.

Browse by metro, filter by category, or search for an artist or team. Ticketmaster listings and local community events sit side by side, and any of them becomes a fully set-up SquadPlan trip with one click — venue, date and details already filled in.

  • public Thousands of events across the US, Canada, Europe and beyond
  • layers Multiple sources merged and de-duplicated into one feed
  • bolt Turn any listing into a trip instantly

Dream it up and set the details

Every trip starts with a spark. Give it a name, a type and a vibe — then decide how much to lock in.

Set a destination, or leave it open. Pick dates, or enable flexible dates and let the group find the window that works. Toggle the features you want — chat, polls, itinerary, expenses, photos — so the event only shows what matters.

  • tune Per-event feature toggles keep things focused
  • date_range Fixed or flexible dates
  • lock Public, friends-only or invitation-only privacy

group_add Step 3 · Invite

Rally the troops

Invite by name or by email — friends without an account get a link that just works.

Your event shows up on your dashboard with everyone's status at a glance: who's in, who's pending, who hasn't opened it yet. Invites can be scoped to a single date or a whole recurring series.

  • mail Email invites for people who aren't on SquadPlan yet
  • how_to_reg RSVP tracking with pending, accepted and maybe
  • notifications_active Real-time notifications when someone responds

event_available Step 4 · Schedule

Find the perfect dates, together

No more forty-message threads. Everyone submits when they're free, and SquadPlan finds the overlap.

Each person adds their availability windows and how flexible they are. As responses come in, the availability summary highlights the best date range for the whole group — and if it's still a toss-up, you can put the finalists to a vote.

  • auto_awesome Optimal-date recommendations from real availability
  • priority_high High / medium / low priority per window
  • visibility See who's responded and who's holding things up

how_to_vote Step 5 · Decide

Decide together

Departure time, restaurant, which show — put it to the group and get an answer.

Create single-choice, multiple-choice or ranked polls. Results update live as votes come in, tied to the event so nobody has to scroll back through a chat to find them.

  • ballot Single, multiple and ranked-choice polls
  • timer Optional deadlines
  • insights Live results, no “who voted for what?”

map Step 6 · Plan

Build the itinerary

Hotel check-in, beach volleyball, seafood dinner — every activity in order, with a place on the map.

Anyone can suggest an item. Locations are geocoded so you get directions, distances and a map view of the whole day. Export the plan to your calendar, and share live location during the event so nobody gets lost.

  • location_on Mapbox-powered places with directions
  • calendar_month Export to Google, Apple or Outlook calendar
  • share_location Live location sharing while the event is on

forum Step 7 · Talk

Communicate in real time

A group chat that lives with the plan, not buried in a thread with three other groups.

Coordinate rides, share the booking confirmation, drop a reminder. Attachments, mentions and an AI summary for whoever missed the last hundred messages.

  • attach_file Photos and files inline
  • alternate_email Mentions that notify
  • summarize Catch-up summaries

photo_library Step 8 · Remember

Capture and relive every moment

A shared timeline where photos land next to the itinerary item they belong to.

Everyone contributes, everything stays organised by moment, and it's all still there long after the group chat has moved on.

  • timeline Photos linked to itinerary items
  • cloud_upload Uploads from anyone attending
  • hd Full-size originals, fast thumbnails

payments Step 9 · Settle up

Track expenses, stress-free

“Who owes who?” answered automatically.

Log a cost, choose who it's split between, attach the receipt. SquadPlan works out every balance and nets them down so the fewest payments settle the whole trip.

  • call_split Equal or custom splits
  • receipt_long Receipts on every expense
  • account_balance Net balances across the whole group
