VoyageVault vs a shared Google Doc or Sheet
A shared Google Doc or Sheet is a fine place to plan — a packing list, a budget, an itinerary. But it's all typed by hand: it doesn't capture the group's places, songs, or messages, and there's no map or ask-anything recall.
| VoyageVault | shared Google Doc or Sheet | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Works on iPhone + Android | ✓ | ✓ | Both work cross-platform. |
| Nothing to install | ✓ | — | Needs a Google account; VoyageVault needs no install. |
| Saves every message | ✓ | — | Nothing is captured automatically — you type it. |
| Saves shared links (Spotify, YouTube) | ✓ | ~ | You can paste links, but they aren't collected for you. |
| Saves files & PDFs | ✓ | ~ | You can attach files, but organize them by hand. |
| Auto-map of places you went | ✓ | — | No trip map. |
| Ask-anything search of the trip | ✓ | ~ | Searches the document text only. |
| Kept forever, organized by trip | ✓ | ~ | Only if someone keeps it updated. |
| Private to your group | ✓ | ✓ | Private if shared that way. |
✓ = yes · ~ = partial · — = no. Comparison reflects typical use for keeping a group trip; a shared Google Doc or Sheet is a fine tool for what it's built for.
