Stay with Layla if a person has to check the trip before money moves. The October 21 homepage says a travel advisor checks the plan and books it. Planning is free. The trip is not. The FAQ puts the recommended minimum at €100 per person per night, and the page describes a package price guarantee whose rules live in the terms.
Leave Layla if that nightly floor is the wrong budget, or if you want the airline and the hotel on your own card. MonkeyTravel, Wonderplan, and Plantrip stop at the plan. Travie, reopened November 9, is a launch list and is not one of those free drafts. None of the four replace the advisor who issues the booking.
Open MonkeyTravel when the test has to happen with no account. The October 21 homepage says a day-by-day itinerary needs no account and no card, includes PDF export, and lets a group of up to eight join from a link. The apps are still marked coming soon.
Skip Travie if the requirement is still a free draft you book yourself. On November 9, 2026 the site is a script. It says register as an early adopter, that they will notify you when they launch, and that premium features come then. The same script says the platform goes from planning to booking, including flights, hotels, car rentals, and tours. It prints no price. The October 23 lines about a free unlimited planner, no card, and no booking are not in that script. No app-store link was in it either.
Open Wonderplan when you already know the city and you want the PDF. The FAQ says free, at least for now. A dialog on the same page says log in for all functionalities. Accommodation ideas are recommendations, not a room.
Open Plantrip when one draft is enough to judge the tool and a longer trip may be worth $5. The FAQ still says the first itinerary needs no account. Basic is $0 for 3 generations a month and 14 days. Plus is $3 a month or $30 a year. Pro is $5 a month or $50 a year, and that is the column with 30-day trips and live search.
