Explorer ($8/mo or $59/yr) keeps that access indefinitely and adds 5 credits per month for AI trip generation, plus the ability to copy and remix trips from the community.
Credits are used exclusively for AI trip generation. One credit generates a complete day by day itinerary based on your destination, travel dates, budget tier, and interests.
All other app features - building and editing trips manually, the route map, multi-currency totals, group splitting, and trip sharing - are included with your Explorer subscription and do not require credits.
No. Credits never expire. The 5 monthly credits included with Explorer roll over if you do not use them - they are added to your balance each month without resetting what you already have. Credits purchased as one-time packs are permanent and never expire either.
Yes. Credit packs are available as one-time purchases: 10 credits for $10 USD, 20 credits for $20 USD, 30 credits for $30 USD. Each credit generates one full AI itinerary.
An active Explorer subscription is required to use credits, including purchased ones. Credit packs only add to your AI generation balance - they do not grant access to the app on their own.
Your credits are preserved when your subscription lapses. They will be waiting for you as soon as you resubscribe. You need an active Explorer subscription to use them, but they are never deleted.
All ISO 4217 currencies are supported. Each expense stores its own currency, and you can set a display currency to see all totals converted in real time using live exchange rates.
Yes. You can set a traveller count and all totals automatically multiply to show the full group cost. Individual prices are always stored per person, so you can adjust the group size at any time.
You can generate a public link to your trip at any time. Anyone with the link can view your full itinerary in read only mode. No account needed. Explorer subscribers can also copy it to their own account to use as a starting point.
Yes, you can cancel anytime from your account settings. You keep access until the end of your current billing period. Any credits you have accumulated are preserved and will be available again if you resubscribe. No contracts, no tricks.
