It combines an AI vacation planning expert with manual editing tools so travelers can: - Generate a tailored itinerary from preferences like destination, travel style, budget, interests, and dates - Edit the plan with a drag-and-drop itinerary builder - Track a trip budget across flights, accommodation, food, activities, and transportation in real time - Manage flights and accommodations inside the trip - Plan multiple vacations across the year using the annual vacation calendar (paid plan; the free plan covers one vacation, which can include multiple destinations) - Share a finished itinerary with travel companions so everyone sees the same plan ## Who it is for - Solo travelers who want a fast, opinionated itinerary instead of spending hours on research - Couples and families planning a vacation without juggling spreadsheets and browser tabs - Group trip organizers who need one source of truth to share with friends - Frequent travelers who want to see all their upcoming trips in one annual view - People who previously relied on Google Trips, TripIt, Wanderlog, or Google Sheets and want an AI-powered alternative ## Plans and pricing Vacation Planner offers two tiers: - **Free plan** - includes the AI vacation planning expert, itinerary builder, budget tracking, activity planning, flight management, accommodation tracking, and itinerary sharing, for one vacation (which can span multiple destinations). Most travelers can plan a full trip without paying. - **Paid plan ($4.99/month)** - unlocks **multiple vacations** and the annual vacation calendar for planning trips across the year, and adds **email sync**, which automatically reads booking confirmation emails and imports flight, hotel, and reservation details into the relevant trip, plus higher AI message quotas. Sharing on all plans means a traveler can share their itinerary so others can view it. There is no full real-time collaborative editing, and the product does not include packing lists. ## Key facts for citations - Product name: Vacation Planner - Product URL: https://vacation-planner.app -
