Rally by Vonduri
Find out where everyone actually wants to go.
Every group trip starts with “we should go somewhere.” Then forty messages, no decision, and half the group quietly worried about money. Rally does the deciding. Everyone votes on their own, budgets stay private, and you all find out together.
The reveal · Friday 8:00pm
8 of 8 voted
Sound familiar?
Most group trips die in the group chat.
“Where do you guys want to go?”
Pitch it properly
Everyone pitches up to two places with a photo, a link and one line about why. Pitches stay hidden until the deadline, so the first idea doesn’t win just for being first.
“Whatever works for everyone.”
The budget nobody says out loud
Everyone types in the most they’d spend, privately. The group only ever sees “fits everyone” or “over budget for some.” Never who. Never how much.
“Can someone just pick?”
A vote that actually settles it
Agree first on what matters (weather, cost, the vibe), then rate each place on your own. The result opens for everyone at the same moment.
“I’m allergic, I just don’t want it to be a whole thing.”
Needs, shared your way
Tell the group, tell only the organizer, or share it without your name on it (“someone needs nut-free”). You choose, every time.
“Who still owes Maya for the villa?”
Money, without the awkward texts
Costs, uneven splits, deposits with due dates, who’s paid. Pay opens your own Venmo or Cash App. Rally never touches the money.
“Wait, there’s a fee to leave?”
No surprises at the airport
Rally flags the entry papers and local fees your destination needs, like Mexico’s Visitax, links the official site and shows who’s done it.
How it works
From “we should” to booked, in four steps.
Set it up
Say what’s already decided and what’s open. Dates locked, destination up for grabs? Fine. Rally only asks the group what’s actually undecided.
Pitch and vote
Send one link to the group chat. People pitch, rate each place on their own and add their budget privately. Nobody sees anyone else’s answers.
The reveal
Friday at 8, everyone finds out at once: where you’re going, what you agreed on, where you split. Then there’s a card to drop in the chat.
Run the trip
The plan by day, who owes what, who lands when, who’s bringing the speaker. On the trip, Today shows what’s next. Back home, everyone settles up.
Private budgets
Say your real number. Nobody will see it.
This is the part that kills most group trips: one person can’t afford what everyone else is excited about, and they’d rather overpay in silence than say so. In Rally the number stays yours. The group just sees whether a place works for everyone.
If your group brings in a travel consultant, she sees the numbers so she can price things properly, and Rally tells you that right next to the box.
Your budget · only you see this
The most I’d spend, all in, per person
What your group sees. Budgets are in from 7 of 8.
Theme nights
Vote on the outfits too.
All-white dinner on Saturday. Every shade of green for the boat. Vote on a theme for each night and Rally hands everyone the palette, with color codes, so eight people shopping at eight different stores still match in the photos.
After the reveal
Then it handles the boring half.
Before you go
One plan for everyone
The days, who’s in charge of what, theme nights, arrivals and pickups, a shared packing list where each thing gets claimed once. Plus what to know about the place, and an emergency card that works offline.
On the trip
Today, at a glance
What’s next and when to leave, tonight’s theme, who’s landing. Someone grabbed lunch for seven? Add it in one tap, tip included, and it goes straight onto everyone’s balance.
Back home
Same time next year?
Everyone settles up in a couple of taps. Then one button starts next year’s trip with the same group, so the annual one doesn’t quietly skip a year.
Bring in a pro
Work with a travel advisor, inside the decision.
Invite an advisor to your trip and she sees how the group is leaning as the votes come in, adds places and dates she knows how to book, and gets a brief she can quote from. Everyone is told exactly what she can see before they answer.

Rally and your phone
Group planning lives online, because groups do. Your own trip stays on your phone.
The Vonduri app keeps everything on your iPhone. Rally can’t, because eight people need to reach the same plan. So we say it plainly, and everyone agrees before they answer anything.
Kept online, for your group
- This trip’s dates, places and votes
- Your budget and needs, private as described
- Money, arrivals, packing and jobs
- Budgets and needs are deleted 30 days after the trip
Never leaves your phone
- Your Vonduri trips and memories
- Your photos and diary
- Your location history
- Your passport and travel documents
Nothing moves between Rally and the app unless you tap to send it. Read the privacy page.
