Wanderlog: cost, fit and limits
Wanderlog is a trip planning app made by Travelchime Inc. that keeps itineraries, maps, bookings, budgets and checklists in one shared trip file, with an AI Assistant in its feature list and a free tier alongside a paid Pro option.
What to know first
Wanderlog calls itself a free vacation planner and itinerary app, and its homepage lists maps, bookings, budgeting, checklists and an AI Assistant. A Pro tier is mentioned on the homepage and in reviews, but none of the pages we opened showed an amount or a feature list for it. The privacy policy discloses a notable practice: Gmail emails are parsed with help from OpenAI to find travel receipts.

Who Wanderlog is best for
Groups that edit one itinerary together
Itineraries, maps, bookings and budgets share a trip file, so friends can see the same plan, costs and checklists without sending screenshots or separate documents.
Travelers who forward confirmations by email
The policy describes parsing Gmail emails to find travel receipts, which can add bookings to a trip without retyping them, for users who accept the access.
Planners who like checklists
Packing and task checklists sit in the same file as the route, which suits trips with many small preparations before departure.

What Wanderlog does
- Itineraries and maps
- The homepage lists itineraries and maps among the main features, so places in the plan can be viewed geographically instead of as a plain list of stops.
- Bookings and budgeting
- Bookings and budgets are kept in the same trip file as the itinerary, which keeps costs and confirmations next to the days they belong to.
- Checklists
- Checklists for packing and tasks appear in the homepage feature list, making the app a preparation tool as well as a plan generator for the trip.
- AI Assistant
- An AI Assistant is listed in the feature list on the homepage. The pages we opened do not describe its inputs, limits or whether it is gated to Pro.
How Wanderlog handles your data
The privacy policy says Gmail emails are parsed with the help of OpenAI to find travel receipts, so connecting a mailbox sends message content to an AI provider. A deletion request leads to account deletion within two weeks, and no fixed retention period is given. The policy does not say whether customer data trains AI models, and it names no hosting region. No certification is stated. A buyer who wants Wanderlog without mailbox access can add bookings by hand, though the pages we read do not describe how to opt out of the Gmail feature.
Where Wanderlog falls short in practice
- Pro stays opaque. The homepage names Pro, yet no amount or contents appeared on any page opened, so a buyer cannot tell what the paid tier adds beyond the free app.
- Mailbox access goes to an AI provider. Receipt parsing with OpenAI means message content leaves the mailbox, which some people will not accept for a personal inbox. A shared inbox or a work address raises the stakes further.
- Long page only partly read. The homepage content was long and only partly read, so features beyond the list we quote may exist but are unverified. Treat anything beyond that list as something to confirm in a trial.

Alternatives to Wanderlog
Wanderlog: common questions
Does Wanderlog read my Gmail?
The privacy policy says Gmail emails are parsed with the help of OpenAI to find travel receipts. That means message content is processed by an AI provider. The pages we read do not describe a setting to switch this off, so ask before connecting a mailbox.
Is Wanderlog free?
The homepage describes it as a free vacation planner and itinerary app, and reviews on the page mention a free version. A Pro tier is also named, but no price or feature list was visible on the pages we opened.
How do I delete my Wanderlog account?
The privacy policy says an account is deleted within two weeks of a deletion request. It gives no fixed retention period for data while the account is active, and it does not say what happens to backups after deletion. Backups are not mentioned in the section we read.
Does Wanderlog have an AI assistant?
Yes, an AI Assistant is listed among the features on the homepage. We could not read how it works, what limits apply or whether it needs Pro, so test it on a real trip before assuming it replaces manual planning.
What is in Wanderlog Pro?
The homepage and reviews name a Pro tier, but the pages we opened did not show its contents or price, and the pricing, plus and pro URLs returned 404 or no prices. Check the app itself for the current tier list.
