What our research says

Mindtrip

Mindtrip is the most complete of the chat trip planners because the chat, the itinerary and the map are the same object rather than three panes that drift apart. Booking inside the app is what makes it free, and also what shapes the recommendations. Group editing and Google Maps import remove the two chores that usually push people back into a shared doc.

Pros

  • Itinerary, map and chat stay synchronised in one view
  • Imports saved places from Google Maps and can start a trip from a photo
  • Books flights, hotels, restaurants and experiences without leaving the app
  • Free to plan with no subscription gate

Cons

  • Revenue comes from bookings, so recommendations are not neutral
  • No Android app listed
  • Car rentals and tours are still marked as coming soon

Wonderplan

Fine as a free first draft for a trip you will still research yourself; it is not a booking tool and the suggestions gravitate to the obvious landmarks. Use it to kill the blank page, not to trust an address or an opening time.

Pros

  • Genuinely free with no paywall on the core planner
  • Itinerary is editable rather than a fixed block of generated text
  • PDF export makes the plan usable without signal
  • Fast enough to iterate through several destination options

Cons

  • No live pricing, availability or booking links you can act on
  • Recommendations repeat the same landmarks for popular cities
  • Two-person studio, so longevity and support are uncertain
  • No API, calendar sync or mobile app
