otsuka vs Mindtrip
Mindtrip is a free AI travel assistant you plan with by chat, with maps, group planning and booking. otsuka is a paid iPhone app that writes a day-by-day plan with times and changes it with one tap on the day, when it rains or you're tired.

| Price | $39.99 a year, or $7.99 a month with the first month at $0.99. No free version. | Free. Bookings go through its travel partners. |
| How a plan starts | It writes every day with times, from when you land, what you're into and how full you like your days. | A chat. It can also start from a screenshot, or a TikTok, YouTube or Instagram link. |
| When it rains | “It's raining” moves what's outdoors to another day and brings indoor things forward. | You ask in the chat. |
| When you're tired | “I'm tired” keeps the one or two things that matter most and your meals, and moves the rest to tomorrow. | You ask in the chat. |
| Undo | Every change | We found none. |
| On the day | Opens on today: what's on now, what's next, the rest below. | Places nearby on a map |
| Planning with others | No | Yes, with comments and likes |
| Bookings | None | Flights and hotels |
| Offline | Trips are stored on your phone. | The itinerary can be read offline. |
Where Mindtrip is better
- It's free, and it works on the web too.
- Booking flights and hotels without leaving the app.
- Planning with friends, with comments and likes.
- Starting from a video or a screenshot you saved.
- Maps, photos and a much bigger catalogue of places.
Where otsuka is different
- Changing the day is one tap with a predictable result, not a new message: rain, a tired day, one thing moved.
- Every change shows where each thing lands before it moves, and can be undone.
- Travel mode: today, one thing at a time.
- No bookings and nothing sold, so nothing on the plan is there to be booked.
Which one
Pick Mindtrip if you want to dream, plan with friends and book in one place, for free, on the web or your iPhone.
Pick otsuka if you book your own travel and mostly worry about the day itself going wrong once you're there.
