Kliche or Polarsteps for a group trip’s photos?
Polarsteps tells a trip step by step on a map, and Travel Together lets several people write that journal. Kliche gathers the whole group’s photos to watch them together, at the same time. Here is what sets them apart.
Polarsteps information checked on on Polarsteps’ help on Travel Together and the Polarsteps Plus announcement.
| Criterion | Kliche | Polarsteps |
|---|---|---|
| At its heart | The group’s photos, to watch together | The travel journal: steps, texts and the route on the map |
| Together | Up to 10 people per album (beta) | Up to 5 companions according to the help, 10 with Polarsteps Plus |
| Who adds | Everyone sends their photos with their QR code | Each companion adds photos, videos and texts to the steps |
| During the trip | Send whenever you like, during or after | The route is followed on the map |
| Watching together | Same photo at the same time for everyone, cursors, drawing, built-in call, TV mode | Everyone browses the journal on their own |
| App | None: it all happens in the browser | Polarsteps app |
| Keeping | Album erased 3 days after creation, ZIP in original quality before | The trip stays in the app; printed travel book is paid |
