Wanderlog is the most complete planner here for the price. Its core idea is a single screen where your itinerary sits next to a map, with each day in its own color, so you can see how far apart your stops are and reorder them. The free plan is generous: unlimited places, live collaboration with friends, imports of flights, hotels and car rentals, and smart recommendations. Wanderlog also gathers hotel and Airbnb options, has a budgeting tool that splits bills, and includes packing checklists. Pro, which starts at $39.99 a year, adds offline access on mobile, automatic Gmail scanning for reservations, route optimization, export to Google Maps, unlimited attachments, unlimited AI assistance and flight and car rental deals. The main catch is that offline access sits behind Pro, which matters if you travel without data. Pro is annual only, with no monthly option. Frequent flyers who mostly want flight alerts may prefer TripIt or Tripsy.
