Anonymous Group Trip Budget Coordinator

Let a group of friends/colleagues plan a trip everyone accepts without revealing individual budgets.

Problem

When organizing group trips, budgets are sensitive—some people won't disclose their上限, causing endless back-and-forth on itinerary and lodging. Existing trip planners either require everyone to share budgets or ignore budget constraints entirely.

Solution

Members anonymously submit budget ranges and preferences; the system merges constraints in the background to generate feasible destinations, lodging, and itineraries, showing only matching results without exposing anyone's specific budget, with voting and iteration.

Users

Trip organizers for friends/family, company offsite planners, and small team travel coordinators.

MVP

Anonymous budget and preference collection forms;; constraint merging and feasible plan generation;; plan voting and comments;; final itinerary summary export;

Revenue

Free basic tier + per-trip/organizer subscription ($5–$15 per trip or month), team tier priced per member.

Why now

Group trip planning still relies on group chats and spreadsheets, budgets are sensitive, and good tools are missing. With off-the-shelf forms and simple algorithms an indie dev can ship an MVP in 2–3 weeks and acquire users via travel communities and Product Hunt.
