Wanderlog Pricing 2026: The Price Changes Depending on Who's Asking

The price depends on who's asking

Wanderlog does not publish its price. The website describes Pro's features and then sends you to sign up, and the number only appears once you are inside the app. There is a reason for that, and it is visible in a place most people never look: Apple's listing of the app's in-app purchases.

The US App Store shows Wanderlog Pro sold as an annual plan at $31.99, $39.99, $49.99 and $59.99, all at the same time, plus monthly plans at $5.99 and $16.99 and a separate "20% discount" product. Those are not old prices left lying around. They are concurrent price points, which means Wanderlog tests what different users will pay. Two people upgrading on the same day can be quoted different numbers.

Most people who report their price online say $39.99 a year, so treat that as the middle of the range rather than the price. If you are quoted $59.99, you are in the expensive cohort, and waiting for one of the frequent 20% promos is rational.

First, the disclosure: we make Plotline, a travel app that competes with Wanderlog. Everything above comes from Apple's public listing and is easy to check. Judge the rest of this page with that bias in mind.

What free actually includes

Wanderlog's free tier is genuinely strong, and it is most of the product. You get unlimited trips, the itinerary and map in one view, live collaborative editing with friends, place search, importing flight and hotel reservations by forwarding emails, expense tracking with cost splitting, checklists, and community guides. Nothing about the core planning loop is paywalled.

That matters because it is the opposite of how most travel apps tier. The usual move is to cap the core loop and sell the cap. Wanderlog gives the core away and sells convenience around the edges.

What Pro adds

Four things carry the subscription:

Offline access. Your trip plans download locally. Free users need a connection, which stings exactly when traveling.

Route optimization. The auto-rearrange that orders a day's stops for the shortest route. Free users drag stops manually.

Unlimited attachments. PDFs and files on the trip. Free has a cap.

Deals and export. Flight deal alerts, and exporting your trip to Google Maps.

The honest read: if you plan one trip a year on wifi and don't mind ordering stops yourself, free is enough, and Wanderlog seems comfortable with that. Pro earns its money on road trips, where route optimization and offline maps are the whole game.

How it compares

For context on the field: TripIt Pro is a flat $49 a year and every buyer pays the same number. Mapstr Plus runs about $59.99 a year. Plotline Premiere is $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year, also flat.

Is Wanderlog Pro worth it?

Worth it if: you take road trips, you travel where data is unreliable, or you attach every confirmation and ticket to the trip. Those users hit all three paid walls on every trip, and $39.99 splits fine across a group that plans together anyway.

Skip it if: you plan city trips on hotel wifi and your days have four stops. Manual ordering of four stops is not a problem worth $40.

And if you are quoted $59.99, close the sheet and wait. The 20% discount product exists because it converts, and the $31.99 cohort proves the margin is there.

Where Plotline fits

Different job, mostly. Wanderlog prices the logistics of a trip you have already decided on. Plotline works one step earlier, on the forty places you saved from TikTok and Instagram that never make it into any planner. It pulls places out of shared videos, keeps the creator's tip attached, and routes saved places into day plans. The free tier has a daily save cap and includes your first trip plan; Premiere lifts the caps at a flat $9.99 a month.

If your trips start from social saves, start there. If they start from a blank itinerary, Wanderlog free is the better first stop, and we say so in our full comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Wanderlog Pro cost in 2026?

There is no single answer, and that is the finding: Apple's US App Store listing shows Wanderlog Pro annual plans at $31.99, $39.99, $49.99 and $59.99 running concurrently, plus monthly plans at $5.99 and $16.99. Wanderlog tests prices by cohort, so two people upgrading the same day can be quoted different numbers. Most people report paying $39.99 a year.

Is Wanderlog free to use?

Yes, and the free tier is the most complete in travel planning. Unlimited trips, the itinerary-plus-map view, live collaboration with friends, importing flight and hotel confirmations by email, expense tracking with cost splitting, and checklists all cost nothing. The core planning loop is never paywalled.

What does Wanderlog Pro actually add?

Four things carry it: offline access to your trips, automatic route optimization that orders a day's stops for you, unlimited file attachments, and extras like flight deal alerts and export to Google Maps. City-trip planners on hotel wifi can skip all four; road trippers tend to want the first two badly.

Is Wanderlog Pro worth it?

Worth it for road trips and travel where data is unreliable, since offline maps and route optimization are the two features that matter most and both are Pro. Skip it if your days have a handful of stops in a connected city. And if you are quoted $59.99, wait: a 20% discount product exists and promos are frequent.

Does Wanderlog have a free trial for Pro?

Wanderlog runs frequent promotional offers rather than a standard published trial, and the price you see in-app depends on your cohort. Check what you are quoted against the $31.99 to $59.99 range from Apple's listing before paying, and wait for a promo if you land at the top of it.

How does Wanderlog pricing compare to other travel apps?

TripIt Pro is a flat $49 a year and everyone pays the same number. Mapstr Plus runs about $59.99 a year after a 300-place free cap. Plotline Premiere is $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year, flat. Wanderlog is the only one of the four where the price varies by user.
