Money disputes are one of the fastest ways to break a group trip. The issue is rarely total spend; it is unclear split logic across mixed preferences.
Use Layered Cost Buckets
Separate costs into mandatory shared, opt-in shared, and individual spend. This keeps baseline fairness while allowing different comfort levels for extras.
Decide Rules Before Booking
Set split rules before locking accommodation, transport classes, and premium activities. Early agreement prevents retroactive debates in the middle of the trip.
Operational Benefit
Alfred's planning flow can map spend ownership per activity so the itinerary remains both logistically and socially sustainable.
