Stay with Wonderplan when you already know the city and a PDF is the file you want. On November 8, 2026 the FAQ says the planner is free, at least for now, and that a plan can be saved as a PDF. A dialog titled Let's Start with Wonderplan says to log in to access all the functionalities. Accommodation ideas are recommendations, not a reservation. The page does not say how many plans the free tool will generate, and it does not describe a checkout.
Open Layla when someone may need to book the hotels, flights, transfers, and activities, and the planning fee has to be zero in the FAQ. On November 8 the homepage says planning is free and that nothing is added on top when the advisors book. The FAQ says there is no subscription and no planning fee. It also says you can book the plan yourself without speaking to an advisor. Tailor-made trips they book have a recommended minimum of €100 per person per night. A package price guarantee applies to the total package, and the page says the rules are in the terms. You still pay for the travel.
Open CustomizeYourTour when you want the free limit in numbers before you start a second trip. The pricing page lists Free at $0 for 20 AI messages a month and 1 saved trip, Explorer at $9.99 a month for 100 messages and up to 5 trips, and Premium at $19.99 a month for unlimited messages and trips. The yearly control says Save 33% and does not print the yearly amounts. The US App Store listing, by Daniel Ozer, says the app is free with in-app purchases and requires iOS 15.1 or later. It lists Explorer at $9.99 and $79.99, and Premium at $19.99 and $159.99, without saying which is the month. The terms, last updated April 2026, describe matching you with local tour operators and a cancellation schedule. The pricing page does not. Read both before you pay a deposit.
Open MonkeyTravel when the account itself is the objection. The homepage on October 21, 2026 said the day-by-day plan needs no account and no card, includes a PDF, and lets up to eight people join from a link. iOS and Android were marked coming soon. That page was not reread on November 8. Do not treat it as today's price.
Wonderplan is the short form that still says free and then asks you to log in. Layla is the free plan with a person who can book, and a budget floor if you use that person. CustomizeYourTour is the page with a message cap and two monthly prices, next to terms that describe a marketplace. If the only requirement is no account, the October 21 MonkeyTravel line is the one that said it, and it needs a fresh read before you rely on it.
