What is the best free AI trip planner?
A free AI trip planner, reread October 21, 2026, is no longer one sentence. MonkeyTravel still says the day-by-day plan needs no account and no card. Plantrip's FAQ still says you can create one itinerary with no account, but the pricing page now caps Basic at $0 for 3 generations a month and 14 days. Wonderplan's FAQ still says the planner is free, at least for now, and a dialog asks you to log in for all functionalities. Triply and Stippl were not reread today. Their earlier pages cap free AI use: Triply at three full plans a month, Stippl's unlimited generator at €4.99 a month.
Checked Oct 21, 2026
Start with MonkeyTravel if the plan has to be free and the account has to be optional. The homepage on October 21, 2026 says a day-by-day itinerary needs no account and no card. A group of up to eight can join from a link. PDF export is included. iOS and Android are still marked coming soon, so the planner is the browser.
Open Plantrip when one draft is enough to judge the tool. The FAQ still says generating, refining, and saving an itinerary is free, and that creating one does not need an account. The pricing page, which the October 19 listing did not quote, now sells past that. Basic is $0 for 3 generations a month and trips up to 14 days. Plus is $3 a month or $30 for the year. Pro is $5 a month or $50 for the year, and that is the column with 30-day trips and live search. A modal says sign up free to keep generating.
Use Wonderplan when you already know the city and you want the PDF the FAQ describes. The FAQ still says the planner is free, at least for now. A dialog on the same page says log in to access all functionalities. Accommodation ideas remain recommendations, not reservations.
Do not read Triply or Stippl as fully free. Those figures are from earlier checks, not from October 21. Triply's homepage on October 20 set Starter at €0 and capped a free account at three full plans a month. Stippl's Pro page on October 19 put unlimited AI generation at €4.99 a month. Layla's homepage did load on October 21. Planning is free there, with no subscription, and the trips their advisors book are aimed at €100 per person per night.
