Verdict
Wanderlog pins every place on a map, shows travel times between stops and lets a whole group edit one plan, and most of that is free. Its AI assistant is the weak part, capped at about five free messages per trip in a February 2026 test and wrong about Hagia Sophia's entry fee. Pro adds offline maps and route ordering for about £5 to £13 a month in the UK App Store, or less if paid yearly.

Ratings
What people say
Regular users in user reviews like the shared map, booking import and route optimiser, and several have used it for years. Newcomers find it crowded with buttons and Pro adverts, and one tester said the AI's suggested timings did not line up when checked. Store ratings above 4.6 sit far above Trustpilot's 1.9, which rests on just 51 reviews.
“I like the Pro feature where I can put everything I want to do in a city on one date , click optimize route and it'll put everything in the most efficient order.”

“My family has used the free version of Wanderlog for 4 trips over the last 2 years. It is great for planning and sharing an itinerary for a travel group.”

“free tier hit me hard as it caps after few tries....... side note, one annoying thing was the suggested itinerary looked good but when checked manually the timings didn't always line up”

Press reviews
- MakeUseOf 2025-11-28
An all-in-one trip app whose AI assistant can build a three-day itinerary and fill in the plan, a 'nice shortcut' to doing the work yourself.
- aitravel.tools 2026-02-23
4/5; best map in its class, but the AI used outdated data (called Hagia Sophia a museum with free entry) and five free messages is 'the lobby, not the apartment'.
- Endless Travel Plans 2026-07
Called it the best general-purpose free trip planner for families in 2026; offline access and route optimisation need Pro.
