What Stippl does
- AI planner
- The traveler describes the trip and the AI builds a day-by-day itinerary. The pages do not say which model sits behind it or how many regenerations are allowed.
- Budgets
- Trip budgets live alongside the itinerary, so expected costs stay attached to the days they belong to instead of in a separate sheet. The homepage lists budgets among the free features, with no cap stated.
- Packing lists
- Packing lists are part of each trip, a small feature that keeps checklist and plan in a single shared document. The homepage lists them under the free app, and no limit on the number of lists was stated on the pages opened.
- Bookings
- Bookings can be stored in the trip, which makes the app a holder of confirmations as well as a generator of plans. The homepage lists bookings among the free features, with no stated limit on how many can be stored.
How Stippl handles your data
The privacy policy says AI assistant conversations are reviewed for quality under legitimate interests, and it makes no statement on whether customer data trains models. Account and trip data are kept until deleted, support records 2 years, analytics up to 14 months, technical and AI quality logs 90 days, payment records 7 years and backups up to 12 months. Deleted trips stay in the trash for 30 days. Hosting is mainly in the EU, with some providers processing data outside the EEA, mainly in the United States. The policy references GDPR and Dutch law and lists no certification.
Where Stippl falls short in practice
- Pro is a blank. Stippl Pro appears on the homepage with no price or feature list, so a buyer cannot judge what the paid tier adds over free forever.
- Conversations are reviewed. The policy says AI assistant conversations are reviewed for quality, which means prompts about a trip may be read by staff. Quality review is stated in the policy as a legitimate interest, not an opt-in.
- US processing by some providers. Hosting is mainly EU, but some providers process data in the United States, so the EU description is not complete for every subprocessor. The policy does not list the providers by name in the section we read.

The homepage says the app is free forever and trips are always free to browse. A Stippl Pro tier is also named, but its price and contents were not shown on the pages we opened, so what is held back for paying users is unknown.
Does Stippl read my AI chat history?
The privacy policy says AI assistant conversations are reviewed for quality under legitimate interests. Technical and AI quality logs are kept for 90 days. A traveler who wants no review should avoid putting personal details into the assistant. Check the policy section on AI before sharing sensitive details.
Where is Stippl data stored?
The policy states hosting is mainly in the EU, with some providers processing data outside the EEA, mainly in the United States. The company is Stippl B.V. in the Netherlands, and the policy references GDPR and Dutch law. Some transfers therefore sit outside the EEA.

Deleted trips stay in the trash for 30 days according to the privacy policy. After that, removal follows the retention schedule, and backups may hold data for up to 12 months before they are overwritten. Export of a trip before deletion is not described on the pages we read.
What does the Stippl AI planner do?
The homepage says you describe your trip and the AI builds a day-by-day itinerary. Budgets, packing lists and bookings sit in the same trip. The pages do not document caps on generations or the model provider. Check the current plan limits in the app before you rely on them.
