The best group planning apps in 2026 (and what each one is actually for)

For finding a date: date polls

Doodle, When2meet, Rallly and our own free date poll all do the same core thing. Pick on the basis of how much work answering is: the fewer taps, the more answers you get.

For a fixed event with a guest list: event pages

Facebook Events, Partiful and Luma are strong when the date is already decided and you are inviting a crowd. They are heavy for six friends deciding between two nights.

For money: splitting apps

Splitwise and your banking app's split feature handle the awkward part afterwards. Nothing on this list replaces them, and you should keep using one.

For the whole thing, end to end

This is the gap we built WeShould for: one rough idea, a couple of nights, a place, a rough cost per head, a deadline, and a confirmation that lands back in the chat — with everyone answering from a link and only the organiser installing anything.

• Free, and private by design: no feed, no profiles, no public directory.
• Guests answer in a browser, with no account.
• The plan ends confirmed, in everyone's calendar.
