Pilot vs Stippl

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.
