Slant community chat on DiscoursePro Scalable, customized organization
Infinite row/columns and all the separate tabs to play with. Trips can be organized with as many attributes and calculations as you see fit.
Pro Good for budgeting
Since it is a spreadsheet, very easy to calculate budget, and any secondary calculations as well (e.g. cost/day, cost/location, etc.)
Pro Easy to share
Google Sheets are always accessible on the cloud, and easy to control permissions to share with relevant parties.
Con Not optimized for travel
Unlike travel-specific websites, Sheets won't be able to tell if one link is a flight, and another is a hotel reservation, nor will it be able to know which cells correspond to what leg of the trip.
Con Zero foundation
While there are sample layouts (see Travel planner), it's likely that each person's trip planning needs will be unique enough that it's better to start from scratch. Of course, once you use Sheets for one trip, it'll be easier and faster to set it up for future trips.
Con Limited choice of destinations
This site rather advertises destinations in India, than provides tools for planning your custom itineraries.
Pro Super easy
You can do everything through this platform. Make a beautiful trip itinerary, collect payments and manage participants.
Con Only free if paying with a US checking account
There is no fee if you are paying with a US checking account. However if you use a credit card or other currency, there is a 2.9% transaction fee.
