Lambus vs Pilot

Lambus is a travel planner that keeps trip stops, expenses, tickets, photos, and other details together for individual or group trips. Travelers can plan on an interactive map, add stops collaboratively in real time, and include transport, attractions, restaurants, tours, and notes. It can surface offers through partners such as GetYourGuide and Omio, import booking documents, and split group costs. PRO adds offline trip access, itinerary calendar sync, PDF and expense exports, Google Maps place search, automatic currency conversion, and real-time flight updates. The maker describes PRO storage for photos, travel bookings, and PDF files as unlimited. Private documents such as passports or driver's licenses can be stored on the device and secured with biometrics. Its AI Connector works with ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for itinerary and trip-management tasks, though availability and plan support may change as those assistants roll out MCP features. Lambus is available on web, Android, and iOS. The basic platform is free, and the pricing note lists paid plans from €11.97/mo and a 30-day trial.

Pilot is a trip-planning and booking app for building itineraries, finding stays and activities, and sharing plans. Its itinerary builder combines routes and map pins with notes, checklists, files, and booking details; plans can be rearranged with drag and drop. Travelers can invite others by email or link, collaborate without a group-size limit, set view-only access, chat, and vote on options. AI can generate itineraries and suggest activities, and can parse imported booking files into trips. The site lists over 3.2 million stays, millions of activities, local food categories, and more than 60 explore filters. Pilot runs on the web, iOS, and Android, with offline itinerary access on mobile, though some mobile functions are limited during early development. Users can export trips to PDF for offline access or printing. The core Pilot plan is free. Group-rate sourcing is also free for groups of 8 or more; full-service retreat planning costs $49 per night.
