Navly vs Pilot

Navly is an AI-assisted trip-planning app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision. Users can plan trips in chat and build day-by-day itineraries, then view routes and plans together on a map. Look Around previews are available where imagery exists, and users can continue to directions in Apple Maps. The app also supports collaborative planning, calendar export, and nine languages. Users can request itinerary changes, though approval is required for some changes.

Navly is free with in-app purchases. The Free plan includes an AI travel planning assistant, map and location context, and itinerary building. Day Pass costs $2.99, paid once for 24 hours; Week Pass costs $7.99, paid once for seven days. These passes do not renew automatically. Explorer Pro costs $12.99 a month or $129.99 a year; Explorer Max costs $39.99 a month or $399.99 a year. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled through App Store settings. iPhone requires iOS 18.6 or later. The listing says linked data may include purchases, location, contact information, content, identifiers, usage, and diagnostics, and that Apple has not verified the developer's privacy practices.

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.
