...visit while you're travelling in a different country and creates a plan scheduled by days and a route

Confidence
Engagement
Net use signal
Net buy signal

Idea type: Freemium

People love using similar products but resist paying. You’ll need to either find who will pay or create additional value that’s worth paying for.

Should You Build It?

Build but think about differentiation and monetization.

Your are here

You're entering a crowded market for travel planning apps. With 29 similar products already out there, you've got competition, but you also have validation that people want this kind of tool. The good news is that similar products seem to have medium engagement (average of 9 comments), suggesting there's room to build a dedicated user base. However, you are entering the freemium category. The challenge will be differentiating your app and figuring out how to get people to pay for premium features. You need to provide value that people are willing to pay for and you really need to research and deliver on what makes your product special compared to the others.

Recommendations

  1. First, focus on nailing down who your core free users are. Understand what aspects of travel planning they find most frustrating and where they're currently using workarounds. This will help you define the specific pain points your app can solve for free, attracting a large initial user base.
  2. Next, identify premium features that directly address the frustrations of your power users. Consider features like personalized recommendations based on travel style and risk tolerance, advanced itinerary optimization, offline access to maps and guides, or integration with booking platforms for flights and accommodations. Make sure to look at existing products' issues, like the need for better search functionality or more comprehensive location data to address some of their pitfalls.
  3. Explore team-based pricing models. Are there travel agencies, corporate travel departments, or even groups of friends who frequently plan trips together? Offering collaborative planning tools and centralized billing could unlock a valuable revenue stream. Given the criticisms around unclear pricing observed in similar products, ensure your pricing is transparent and easy to understand.
  4. Think about offering personalized help or consulting services. Some travelers might be willing to pay for expert advice on crafting the perfect itinerary or navigating the complexities of international travel. If your app gets good at surfacing unique spots, consider offering custom itineraries for a fee.
  5. Before launching broadly, test different pricing tiers and feature bundles with small groups of users. Gather feedback on what they value most and what they're willing to pay for. This iterative approach will help you fine-tune your monetization strategy and maximize revenue. Consider the importance of a seamless UI/UX, as highlighted in the analysis of similar products.
  6. Prioritize accuracy and up-to-date information. Address concerns raised in similar product discussions regarding incorrect closures, descriptions, and outdated content. Implement robust data validation processes and consider incorporating user feedback mechanisms to maintain data quality.
  7. Focus on mobile usability. Several similar products faced criticism for poor mobile experiences. Ensure your app is fully functional and user-friendly on mobile devices to cater to the on-the-go needs of travelers.
  8. Offer demo access without requiring account creation. Address user frustration from similar products by allowing potential users to explore the app's features before committing to a signup process. This can increase user engagement and reduce friction.

Questions

  1. Given the number of competitors, what specific niche or underserved traveler segment will you target to differentiate your app and build a loyal user base?
  2. How will you leverage AI and personalization to provide unique and valuable travel recommendations that go beyond what's currently available in the market, considering criticisms about generic or inaccurate suggestions in similar products?
  3. What partnerships with local businesses, tour operators, or travel influencers will you pursue to enhance your app's credibility and provide users with exclusive deals and experiences, and how will you balance that with the need to maintain impartiality in your recommendations?

80days.me 3.0 Travel - An app that helps plan multi-city eurotrips in a few clicks

12 Dec 2023 Travel Artificial Intelligence

GenAI in TravelToday, we're excited to launch two distinct planning modes: the AI and Math algorithm-based SMART mode for Generated Planning; and our new addition - "AB Magic mode" for Manual Step-by-Step Planning. Promo code PH35OFF for travel with us.

The Product Hunt launch received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with many users congratulating the team on the launch and relaunch of the app. Users repeatedly praised the app's innovative use of AI for travel planning, clean UI, ease of use, and potential to save time and money. Several users expressed excitement to use the app for upcoming trips, highlighting specific features like the SMART and AB Magic modes. Suggestions for improvement included feature requests for cost optimization, flexible dates, multi-city planning, and expansion to B2B and other languages.

Users expressed concerns about unclear pricing and upfront paywalls. Some questioned how user feedback influences app development and suggested improvements like recommending cheaper airports reachable by train. There were doubts about relinquishing travel planning and ensuring flight prices align with user preferences. Concerns also arose regarding financially irresponsible unplanned vacation suggestions. One user favored natural attractions over cities. The company was encouraged to advertise on university campuses.

leolazou

I was invited to check this website, I just tried to play with it indicating random dates to see how it works, and now I am holding my credit card hesitating whether to pay for this unplanned 7 days vacation across Europe that the website suggests me. Looks amazing and feels amazing.

abhi_bandara

Congratulations on the launch..... like to use this my next vacation trip.....

dontsov

I made same planning by hands for many years… impatient to try to do it automatically!

alexei_rudak

Must-have tool for every traveller in the world of crazy pricing. Last year many countries I was increased their hotel, museum tickets, restaurant etc pricing up to 100% which made me worrying. But nevertheless after COVID time I see crowds of tourists everywhere. Good luck with launch! The world totally need this app )

darya_maslennikova

Hello Alex and team! Congratulations on the launch 🎉 It’s great and especially that you continue to develop your product, I’m excited to watch your journey! I really like the range of features, especially the return home ticket price and single payment. So, user-centric solutions! I hope to become a user of 80days.me one day) I am interested in several questions, please share something about this) In which regions are you considering expanding? And maybe you could say in 5 words what is your vision for a B2B solution?

olenaia

Congratulations on the launch of version 3.0 of your travel app! It's truly inspiring to witness your journey and the evolution of your platform, especially considering the challenges posed by the pandemic. Your dedication and innovation shine through! The introduction based SMART mode and the "AB Magic mode" for Manual Step-by-Step Planning sound fantastic. Redefining the approach to one-click multi-destination trip planning is a game changer. I look forward to exploring the new features and creating memorable travel experiences with your app!

matej_cabadaj

Wow, huge congrats to the whole team! As a frequent traveler, I find such tools extremely useful, yet often way too confusing or difficult to use. What I really like about 80days is the UI! Clean, easy to follow! :) Big up team and congrats on the launch!

chrislester

I'll definitely keep this in mind on my next trip around Europe! Congrats on the successful launch!

davisnz

What a great product! I wish I knew of this last year, but I'll def save it for later. Congrats on the launch!

niklasbuchfink

This seems to be the missing piece to traveling in Europe. The combination of planning and buying tickets across borders and multimodal is a superpower. I will definitely be trying this out. Great job with the branding and UI by the way 🫶🏼

andrej_bohon

Great job!!! Congrats on the rebirth ) useful, helps well with travel planning

dzianis_yatsenka

Congratulations on the launch! It's a pity I didn't know about your app this summer. Hope I'll be able to check before the next summer. I visited France this summer and there was several airports in the south coast. So plane prices of the closest one were terrible and I had to check all the airports manually. And there was such situation in some Poland cities. Can 80days search somehow and give the result like "if you go 1 hour by train and fly from another airport it'll be $100 cheaper"?

anthony_riera1

Super cool idea, it's always good to get this type of help when planning trips :D Will use it for sure!

sitenley

will definitely use it for my next trip! congrats for the launch!

ali_gordon

@ethnoza very cool! I'm reminded of an interaction I had at the ticket office in Bern while interrailing many years ago. My brother and I didn't have much money and were planning our next move, the ticket cashier suggested we go to Lyon rather than on to Geneva because the journey was much cheaper (despite it being further away). We hadn't considered going on to France but because of that suggestion we chose to and had an experience we wouldn't have done otherwise. All that is to say: suggested next cities would be an interesting feature, it may not occur to you to go from Paris to Stockholm but if the flight is only €30 then you might want to know! Best of luck with the launch

mattgramovich

Congratulations on the relaunch of 80days.me 🥳 I’ve been fan of your product since before it became mainstream 😁 Wishing you all the best, and I am confident that this time around, it will be a great success! 🤞 I’ll personally be using it for planning my travels 😎

Hello! Fantastic work on getting 80days.me on PH! I'm going to give this product a whirl. What are you planning to add in near future?

victoria_varzinova

Congrats on the launch. I'll try it next time I plan a holiday away. My thoughts so far are that I don't only travel cities but like exploring natural attractions. Like for instance if I'm in Northern Ireland I wouldn't be that much interested in Belfast but would like to go to Giant's Causeway.

Ambulate – Detailed Trip Planning

22 Oct 2024 Travel

Ambulate was created because planning hiking trips using spreadsheets and various map solutions got chaotic. I wanted an app to manage and map multi day trip itineraries in the outdoors/backcountry.Features - Manage itineraries - Add activities and map markers - Add routes (upload GPX or plot by hand on map) - Desktop and mobileIt is free to try (login using Google or create a user). Alternatively the slides on the home page give an idea of the UI.I'll appreciate any thoughts and feedback you care to share:)

Users find trip planning for professionals challenging, especially with contingencies and booking steps. They suggest a single site for seamless booking and appreciate features like finding hotels with specific amenities. Issues with third-party sites like booking.com are noted, including billing problems and the need for direct booking. Users desire a simple UI, fast editing, and integration with other tools. Concerns about the product's name, mobile usability, and the need for more information before account creation are raised. Comparisons with other apps and the request for a demo account indicate a mixed reception with some expressing gratitude and others finding the product unusable on mobile or lacking in features.

Users criticize booking systems for poor transaction handling, difficult booking steps, and unreliable sites with inadequate customer support. There's a lack of incentives for direct bookings and third-party airline use, with centralization issues due to upselling. Specific complaints include unclear bathtub information on Booking.com, clunky interfaces, insufficient information, and poor mobile experiences. Some products are seen as too medical or have negative name associations. Users want demos, email verification, and better UI/UX, with some calling for open-source options. Outdated content and auto-advancing slides are also problematic.

I built a web app to open source travel itineraries

28 Mar 2024 Travel

I made TripGeeks, a website where you create and share travel itineraries. Would love to hear any feedback you might have.Thanks!

Users appreciate the app's concept for trip planning but suggest improvements such as clearer pricing symbols, better search functionality, and the addition of tags for different trip types. Some users find the term 'open source' confusing and debate its meaning, while others focus on the app's performance and user interface, suggesting features like map views and shareable itineraries. There's a mix of comparisons to other apps, requests for demo access without account creation, and a call for transparency regarding the app's source code. Feedback on the app's aesthetics and timing for personal trips is also positive.

Users criticized the product for irrelevant search results, particularly location mismatches, and poor ranking algorithms. The definition and use of 'open source' were frequently questioned, alongside concerns about unclear pricing and fee allocation. The user interface was deemed outdated, and the signup process confusing due to a lack of clarity and demo access. Performance issues were noted, as well as a lack of self-hosting options. Itineraries were criticized for being overly ambitious and unromantic. The product's mission and use of community resources were also challenged.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=telesilla

Paid, but Tripit Pro pays for itself if you fly a lot with its Fare Tracker- you get notifications of flight cost changes so you can call the airline and get your money back, usually in credit. I've gotten more back in just my last two flights that covers their yearly fee. I don't know another service that offers this.https://www.tripit.com/web/blog/news-culture/get-money-back-...

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=relyks

Wanderlog is also really good for this type of thing: https://wanderlog.com/. I'm a pretty active user of it, but TripGeeks also looks cool

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=funmi

I also use TripIt and am a big fan of:- You can subscribe to your TripIt calendar, so that all of your trip details automatically show up on your personal calendar app. You only have to do this once (not for every trip). If like me, you use your calendar to run your life, this is a huge productivity benefit.- You can forward your flight confirmation emails and accommodation booking emails from most hotels, trip booking sites (e.g. Booking.com, Kayak, Amex Travel) and even Airbnb/VRBO/etc. to TripIt, and they parse the contents and add the details to your itinerary- For me, it's now become my source of record for when I was last in/out of the country, which I find super useful for US immigration stuff (green card, global entry, citizenship applications, etc.) and some non-US visa applications too- If your company uses Concur for travel/expense management, you can link your work account as well so that work trips show up there too- I think this might be a Pro feature, but you can get alerts of gate changes, flight delays, baggage carousel assignments, etc., oftentimes even before your airline informs you- I don't use this as much, but you can also invite people to individual trips and they automatically get all itinerary updatesThere's lots more benefits, but these are my top ones that come to mind. The UI is super old school, which I don't love, but the convenience far outweighs this and some of the other cons for me.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=CtrlAltDelete51

Flexibility for changes being reflected in realtime without needing to version PDFs.I use TripIt as the foundation for all of mine.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=onounoko

Thanks for the suggestions! I like them and added them to my todo list. Someone else also mentioned they'd like to be able to click outside to close the itinerary.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=malikNF

Love the idea. Only issue I had with was the $$$ bit, it's not clear what I am looking at. Think there should be an option to see a approximate ranges in $ for the trips.If I am using a site like this, I would want to quickly scan a $ range and then see if there's anything I like in there.Again, love the idea and congrats on shipping. Bookmarked will be visiting again :)

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=onounoko

added to my todo list!

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=TylerJaacks

Just in time for my trip to Japan.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=onounoko

Thanks! I think I understand where you are coming from. There’s a balance between corporate BS and authenticity, and right now the overall impression you are getting is more weighted towards corporate BS. I built a lot of projects and this is the one is probably the one I was most excited to build. I do travel (probably done more of the “American hot garbage variation of it.”), but I want to travel a lot more. One thing that really excited me about the idea of “open sourcing itineraries” is that it could surface more kinds of trips than your standard cookie cutter ones. It’s an experiment and I appreciate your feedback on this. Thank you.

PlanMyTrip - Let your personality be your guide

25 Apr 2023 Travel Artificial Intelligence Vacation

PlanMyTrip generates itineraries based on your destination, dates, and budget. It includes recommendations for activities, attractions, accommodations, and transportation. A convenient option to save time and hassle in planning your trip.

PlanMyTrip's Product Hunt launch received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with users praising its time-saving capabilities, interesting features, and personalized itinerary recommendations. Many expressed excitement to use it for upcoming travel, particularly in Europe. The app's interface and overall experience were well-received, with one user highlighting its ability to facilitate travel to 'unimaginable places'. Several users congratulated the team on the launch and thought the product was well-thought-out. One user reported a problem with the search functionality.

Users suggest improvements for travel day input and loading feedback mechanisms. A key criticism revolves around the search function's inadequacy. Users desire a more robust search capability and the ability to create itineraries involving multiple destinations.

akshat_jain28

Congrats guys on the launch! Just tried it myself, and it was amazing. Just 2 quick tactical feedback- a) While inputting travel days - we can use the standard “x” night and “y” days format instead of only days in current version. b) While the itinerary is being generated we can show a loading bar instead of a flying plane since it takes a while to generate itinerary and with flying plane - people don’t get a visual feedback to know if things are even working or not. Loved the monetisation strategy- get the first page for free, but it you want more - pay for it. On point - absolutely loved it.

mettafix

Complete time saver ! I like the color pallette, makes me eager to stay in longer. Hope you get the success !

dzianis_yatsenka

Wow! It looks awesome, you made a release when I'm planning to make a trip! Tell me please can it plan both with big and low budgets? Can it check best prices for a plane?

Hey Utsav! 🎉 Congratulations on the launch of PlanMyTrip! I recently gave it a try, and I'm genuinely impressed with how it streamlines the travel planning process.

I love the flexibility it offers, allowing us to tailor our trips to our preferences and needs. Wishing you great success with PlanMyTrip, and I can't wait to see it grow and evolve even more in the future. I'll definitely be recommending it to friends and family for their travel-planning needs! 👍✈️🌎 Keep up the fantastic work!

Tourzy.ai - AI travel planner

20 Oct 2023 Travel Artificial Intelligence

Our AI-powered online platform simplifies travel planning and provides personalized recommendations and itineraries

Tourzy.ai's Product Hunt launch garnered positive feedback, with users excited about AI-driven travel planning for its potential to reduce stress and save time. Several users expressed interest in trying the product and exploring collaboration opportunities. Concerns were raised regarding accuracy, transport timetables, country coverage, the level of detail in implementation, and the user interface. Suggestions for improvement included addressing Thailand address issues and clubbing places errors. Users also inquired about monetization strategies and affiliate marketing success.

Users criticize the product's lack of detailed information regarding implementation, features, and UI. Concerns were raised about the accuracy of recommendations and limitations concerning travel planning, specifically the absence of timetable access. The product appears to be an MVP, needing refinement. Location accuracy is flawed, demonstrated by an incorrect Thailand address and the misgrouping of distant locations.

kimihito_tanaka

Cool product! Congratulations on the launch. I think many travelers would want app like Tourzy.ai. I'm curious about the accuracy of the recommendations. Would love to give it a try. 🚀 Is travel country cover Asia as well?

I honestly love to see how many products are coming out in the context of travelling! AI really is a big enabler for us makers. I am going to launch one as well in the coming days, but don't worry! We're not going to be competitors :P (perhaps there could be a collaboration, even!) I'm definitely going to give tourzy a go on my next trip! Good luck with the launch, guys!

Wow, I usually plan around 10pm for the following day, so a bit of help could not hurt. We're launching soon here on PH a product in the same space, but it works on the other half of itinerary planning - which is getting guided and entertained while on site. Might be interesting to collab.

Very cool. I tried to do something like that with chatGPT a few months ago when planning my Balkan road trip, but it kinda didn't work out because it didn't have access to flight and train/bus timatables (I wanted to compare feasibility of the trip when driving vs. taking public transport) - how do you sidestep this?

Wow!! Amazing to see integration of AI into travel planning!! I can imagine how travelling can become less stressful and overwhelming with your product! Big congratulations!!

Interesting ideas on leveraging the large data set of AI to suggest a travel plan. I would definitely try it for my next travel. By the way, the mediation monkey is lovely.

Tripnotes.ai: Intelligent Travel Planner

23 Mar 2023 Travel Artificial Intelligence

Hey HN,We're excited to announce the public beta preview of Tripnotes, an intelligent travel planner that mixes a custom recommendation engine, our own data, and a bit of GPT to help you find the right places to go while traveling. Our team has been working hard on this project for 6 months, and we're excited to finally share it with the HN community.With Tripnotes, you can keep track of all your notes about travel when planning to visit a city. Paste in article URLs, videos, emails, text messages, any other text, and if you need some help with research, ask our Concierge which will provide useful recommendations and itineraries for the city in question - with a fallback to GPT for things we didn't quite understand.If you're not ready to dive right in, here are a few short highlight videos:https://twitter.com/matthewer/status/1619047755271536640https://twitter.com/matthewer/status/1621172173598756864https://twitter.com/matthewer/status/1623703548545445890https://twitter.com/matthewer/status/1638010661694234625All the places by Tripnotes are from our own database, but we rely upon GPT to understand the intent of the incoming prompts, as well as to help with the prose in our response to ensure the place descriptions fit what's being asked for.Since we tweeted about our preview release on Monday, we've had over 15,000 people come and try at least one prompt, with over 40,000 unique notes generated from prompts about cities all over the world.We'd love for you to give Tripnotes a try and let us know what you think. The "unauthed" version is open to everyone. If you're interested in using the full version, please join our waitlist.The full version maintains a history of your notes and allows you to edit the text and auto-highlights any text you write/paste in on the fly, which can be useful for pasting recommendations from friends (say via SMS or Email) and having them auto-highlighted and mapped. You can also paste in links from articles, websites, blogs, even Tiktok or Youtube. We scrape those urls, gather the list of places that are mentioned, and then show them on the map along side the rest of your note.We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback, so please feel free to leave a comment or reach out to us directly. Thanks for your support!

The product is praised for its usefulness in travel planning and regular updates. However, users have reported errors in closures and descriptions, and there are concerns about the app siphoning data from phones.

Users raised concerns about the sources and updates of the database, reported errors in closures and descriptions, and expressed worries about the app siphoning all data from their phones.

I made tool to plan your trips

09 Jul 2024 Travel

My second startup is a tool to help with traveling.I love traveling, but keeping everything organized can be a real headache. It's tough to remember flight times, hotel bookings, and daily plans. I used to struggle with messy notes and missed details.I looked for solutions, but nothing really worked for me. I used simple notes, but I always missed something when I tried to access them, like when I wanted to visit a place or eat somewhere. I even tried popular apps like "TripIt" to arrange all my trips, but the interface was too complex and had too many details to fill in.I wanted something where I could save all my dates, location names, and especially important notes like:Eat in the old cafe in Paris. Visit the river in Florence.Where I can fill in fields if I wanted or just leave them empty. That's why I made.It's a simple tool that helps you keep all your plan details in one place.Check it out, and let me know what you think!Happy travels!

TripPlanss is praised for simplifying travel organization and being easy to use. However, some users experience anxiety due to inconsistency in the tool's name.

Users criticized the tool for having inconsistent naming conventions, which caused confusion and hindered usability.

Triplista – I made an app to help users organize and plan their trips

30 Nov 2023 Travel

I used to organize my travels with Apple Notes, then I decided to start a new side-project and build something more specific, I've been testing it for about 4 months and now it's finally launched! Triplista allows you to create your trips with origin and destination - Inside each trip you can add the places you'll visit - View the places in a map - Add a budget to the places you'll visit - Get flight information (coming very soon)

InstaTrip - Travel Itinerary Planner

16 Aug 2024 Travel YouTube

We noticed a gap in how travel is planned. There's plenty of tools for booking flights and hotels, but what about truly experiencing a destination? Our app aims to fill this void by customizing travel plans into an easy-to-navigate interface.

An automatic trip planner for lazy travelers

15 Nov 2024 Travel

I enjoy traveling, but I sometimes find it difficult to stay motivated when planning a trip. This led me to the idea of creating an automatic trip planner for travelers like myself who prefer a more effortless approach. I will continue to develop the project, as there are several ideas that could be implemented. If you have any feedback or suggestions on how to make the planner more useful, please feel free to share. Thank you!

AI-Powered Road Trip Planner

30 Mar 2023 Travel Productivity

Hey HN! I built Road Trip Navigator to help people plan a road trip across the US. It uses GPT-4 to suggest cities to sleep in, and Google Maps to calculate directions between these cities. The interface is simple and easy to use, and I’ve had some great feedback so far. I’m looking forward to hearing what people think, and I hope it makes road trips a bit more fun and stress-free. Let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback!

TripGeeks – a website to find, create, and share travel itineraries

22 Dec 2023 Travel

Hello,I made this app to simplify traveling. I envisioned a platform where you can just pick a trip and go just like you might pick a Netflix movie and watch. As someone who’d love to travel more at some point, I thought it’d be great to have a place where I can access all the information I’d need to just take a trip. It’s a community based platform so trips would be created, shared, and rated by the community.Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions. Thank you.
