Before you start
What is Trip Guide Creator for?
Trip Guide Creator is a private travel command center for building day-by-day itineraries, keeping confirmations and documents with the right trip, sharing plans, and using AI when you want help creating a first draft.
Read the overviewWho is it best for?
It is best for family travelers, small groups, and the person who usually keeps flights, hotels, activities, food ideas, documents, and budget details organized for everyone.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Trip Guide Creator is mobile-friendly and can be installed to your phone home screen on supported browsers. Your trips stay tied to your account across devices.
Mobile and install helpDo I have to use AI?
No. You can create trips yourself, import a structured itinerary, or add details day by day. AI Trip Build is optional and is meant to save time when you want a structured first draft. Starter users can buy AI Trip Build, but Starter generation is limited to the first 5 travel days unless they upgrade first.
Compare the optionsCan Trip Guide Creator add Viator tours to my itinerary?
When you open a Viator tour from inside Trip Guide Creator, eligible booking data may sync back and add the tour to the correct day. Viator still manages checkout, payment timing, cancellations, refunds, and provider changes. If you cancel or change a tour, update or delete the item in Trip Guide Creator if it does not update automatically.

How much is the app?
Starter is free for one limited trip. Standard is $2.99 per month or $25 per year after the free trial. Premium is $9.99 per month or $99 per year after the free trial. Both Standard and Premium include the free trial and can be canceled from Settings.
What is included in Starter?
Starter is the free one-trip option. It lets you build one limited trip with basic itinerary days, stays, food ideas, budgets, and notes. Documents, collaboration, full Trip Packet export, AI Document Import, and additional trips require Standard or Premium. Starter users can buy AI Trip Build separately, but it generates only the first 5 travel days unless the account is upgraded first.
Starter detailsShould I choose Standard or Premium?
Choose Standard if you mainly want the core workspace for itinerary days, stays, food ideas, budgets, documents within Standard limits, and sharing. Choose Premium if your trip already has confirmation emails, tickets, PDFs, screenshots, and private documents you want to pull into one cleaner guide faster.
Compare plansWhat is included with Premium?
Premium includes the Standard workspace, higher document limits, monthly AI Trip Build credits, Premium email import, and AI Document Import for supported PDFs and images. Imported details are shown for your review before anything is added to your itinerary.
Premium detailsCan I forward travel confirmation emails into a trip?
Yes, with Premium. Each trip can have a private forwarding address. Forwarded confirmations go into a review queue so you can edit and approve suggested timeline details and supported attachments before they are added.
Email import helpWhat is the $9.99 AI Trip Build?
AI Trip Build is optional help for creating a first draft. On Standard and Premium, it turns your trip details into an editable day-by-day draft for up to 15 travel days. On Starter, a paid AI Trip Build generates only the first 5 travel days unless you upgrade first. Longer trips keep their full date range, with later days ready for you to complete in the planner.
How AI Trip Build worksDo I need AI Trip Build to use Trip Guide Creator?
No. You can build the trip yourself from the workspace. AI Trip Build is useful when you want help getting the first version organized. Starter users can still buy it, but Starter-generated drafts cover only the first 5 travel days.
Can I cancel?
Yes. You can manage billing from Settings. Canceling stops future renewals, and paid access continues through the end of the current paid billing period.
Cancellation helpAre refunds available?
Subscription and AI Trip Build fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law or where the Refund & Cancellation Policy lists an exception.
