# PrikDate — Free Group Trip & Vacation Date Planner
> https://prikdate.com

PrikDate is a free online tool that helps groups quickly find the best date for a group trip, vacation, party, city trip, ski holiday or any group outing. No registration required.

## What is PrikDate?

PrikDate is a group availability planner built specifically for travel and outings. The organizer creates an event with a date range, shares a unique link or QR code with the group, and every participant marks their available dates on a calendar — without needing an account. PrikDate then shows a heatmap of the best dates and ranks them by availability.

## Key Features

- **Calendar heatmap**: visual overview of group availability
- **Destination poll**: let the group vote on where to go (Barcelona, Ski resort, Beach, etc.)
- **QR code sharing**: share your event instantly via QR code or link
- **Google Calendar & iCal export**: confirm the date and add it to your calendar
- **11 languages**: Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic
- **Themes**: Beach, Ski, City Trip, Party, or default
- **Organizer tools**: confirm the final date, manage the event, delete responses
- **No registration required**: participants just click the link, enter their name, and mark dates
- **100% free**: no subscription, no ads in the app, no hidden costs

## Who is it for?

## How it works

1. Create a new event: enter a name, date range (e.g. July–August), your name, and optionally a theme
2. Share the unique link or QR code with your group
3. Each participant clicks the link, enters their name, and taps available dates on the calendar
4. PrikDate shows a ranked list of best dates and a heatmap calendar
5. The organizer confirms the final date and can export it to Google Calendar or iCal

## Comparison

PrikDate is a focused alternative to Doodle, When2Meet, and Datumprikker.nl — but built exclusively for group trips and vacations rather than general meeting scheduling. It features themed visuals, a destination poll, and a vacation-focused UX.
