Waiz vs Wanderlog
Wanderlog is a solid collaborative planner — you're still the one dragging pins onto a map and typing in times. Waiz's AI drafts the whole day-by-day plan from one sentence, then keeps adjusting it as you chat.
Matches Waiz on live collaboration. The gap is who drafts the plan — and Wanderlog's automation is annual-Pro-only.

Where they actually differ.
An itinerary that drafts itself
Wanderlog's AI assistant helps you search and organize, but there's no one-tap "draft my itinerary" — you place every stop and set every time yourself. Tell Waiz's wizard where, when, and with whom, and it drafts the full day-by-day plan first.
Booking import without the annual-only plan
Wanderlog's automatic inbox scanning sits behind a $39.99/year plan with no monthly option. Waiz's booking import is a Pro feature too — but Pro starts with a free trial, and it isn't annual-only.
The basics don't need a subscription
Wanderlog's offline access and route optimization sit behind that same annual-only plan. Waiz's core planning and real-time collaboration are free outright, with a free trial for the AI tools.
Questions, answered.
Yes. Every trip syncs live across your whole group — free, with no Pro plan required to plan together.
There's no automatic importer today. The fastest path is forwarding your booking confirmations to trips@getwaiz.com — Waiz parses flights, hotels, and reservations onto the right day automatically — then describing the rest of the trip to the AI wizard to draft the itinerary around them.
