otsuka vs Layla
Layla is an AI travel agent you plan with by chat, with live prices and travel advisors who book the trip for you. otsuka is a paid iPhone app for people who book their own travel: it writes the days and changes them with one tap when it rains or you're tired.

Where Layla is better
- Booking: live prices, and people who book the whole trip and change it for you.
- It works on the web and Android too.
- Destination videos to plan from.
Where otsuka is different
- Changing the day is one tap with a predictable result, not a new message.
- Meals and the things you came for stay put, everything moves to a free slot, and every change can be undone.
- Travel mode: today, one thing at a time.
- No account, and no bookings behind the suggestions.
Which one
Pick Layla if you want someone to plan and book a whole trip for you.
Pick otsuka if you book your own travel and want the plan to bend once you're there.
