Questions before the trip
- Does everyone need an account?
- Only to take tasks and join the group. Answering the date poll and opening the plan need nothing.
- Can it split the costs?
- No — Calendarina plans who does what and when, not who owes what. Keep your split-the-bill app for that.
- Friends in another time zone?
- The plan shows the trip’s time zone, clearly labelled, and anyone can switch to their own clock.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing — everything is free in early access, and couples and families stay free after it.
