Apps That Turn Travel Videos Into Trip Plans, Compared

Apps that turn travel videos into trip plans fall into two groups. Plotline, Triply and Dream Trip collect places from the TikToks and Reels you share into them, then arrange your saves into days. Itinerista, Jettova and Vidtrip start from one video link instead, which suits a long YouTube guide. Pick by where your ideas live first, then by how the app charges: free with booking commissions, a subscription, or a one-time payment.

One note before the list: Vidtrip, which publishes this blog, is one of these apps. It gets one entry like the others, and we say where another app is the better choice. Everything below comes from each company's own website or App Store listing, checked in October 2026. We did not run the same trip through every app, so read the features as what each company says it offers, and expect prices to change.

The apps at a glance

The split matters because the two kinds of video carry different information. A 30-second clip usually shows one place; a 25-minute itinerary video has an order, days and warnings. Our comparison of YouTube and TikTok for travel planning explains why, and most trips end up using both.

If your ideas start as TikToks and Reels

These apps live in your phone's share sheet. You see a café in a Reel, tap Share, pick the app, and it tries to identify the place and pin it. The value builds up over months of saving, then pays off when you pick dates and ask the app to turn a city's pins into days.

Plotline. Its App Store listing says it works with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Google Maps links and travel blogs, keeps the creator's recommendation with each spot, and links the source video so you can rewatch it. It can build day-by-day plans from your saved places, and friends you invite can add and edit places live. It is iPhone-only, free to download, and offers an optional Premiere subscription (the listing shows $9.99 and $49.99 options). It suits an iPhone user with a large backlog of saved posts who plans city trips with friends.

Triply. The Triply website says it saves places from Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and builds a day-by-day itinerary with optimized routes, free on iOS, Android and the web. Its App Store listing describes sorting your picked spots into an order with walking times and one tap to Google Maps directions, and lists Triply Pro at $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year, adding unlimited AI trips and video imports, with a 7-day free trial. It suits Android users and anyone who wants to plan on a laptop too. Several unrelated apps have similar names, so check that the developer is AISIDE OU before you download.

Dream Trip. Per its App Store listing, you share links from TikTok, Instagram or Google Maps, or import screenshots, and it saves each spot with photos, ratings and opening hours. Pick dates, vibe and pace, and it routes your saves into days with walking routes and restaurants at meal times. You can invite people as editors or viewers and export any day to Google Maps. A Dream Trip Pro subscription is required to use it (weekly, or yearly with a 3-day free trial for eligible new subscribers). It suits someone planning one big trip intensively who wants hours built into the plan, and doesn't suit anyone looking for a free tier.

If you would rather do this by hand, our guide to planning a trip from TikTok and Instagram Reels covers the same steps with a notes app and a map.

If your idea starts as one YouTube video

A long guide already has a structure, so these tools start from a link rather than a pile of saves.

Itinerista. The Itinerista homepage offers a free manual planner (unlimited itineraries, pins, days, sharing and PDF export) and a video-to-itinerary option: paste a YouTube URL or upload a video, and it extracts the locations and organizes them by day. According to its pricing page, converting videos with AI is part of the Creator plan at $15 a month after a 7-day trial, which also lets you publish and sell itineraries. The creator itineraries featured on its homepage sell for roughly $5 to $12. It suits creators turning their own videos into a product, more than a traveler planning one trip.

Jettova. Its video planner page says it watches a pasted TikTok or YouTube link, identifies the destination and builds a 7-day trip with flights, hotels and activities ready to book, and that it works with public videos up to 10 minutes. Because it starts from the destination, expect a plan for the place rather than a copy of the creator's route. Planning is free, Premium costs $3.99 a month or $34.99 a year for unlimited edits, and the site notes that Jettova may earn a commission on completed bookings. It runs on the web, iPhone and Android, and its group voting suits friends deciding where to go.

Vidtrip. Vidtrip takes one public YouTube video with captions and asks four questions: trip length and month, who's going, budget and pace, and interests. In about a minute it writes a day-by-day plan that keeps the creator's picks and lists what they recommend and what they say to skip, each linked to its timestamp. The overview, budget, highlights and the start of day one are free to preview without an account. A one-time $4.99 per plan adds every day with times and costs, each stop looked up on Google Maps with rating and hours and pinned on a map, a Google Maps route per day, a printable PDF and a KML file for Google My Maps. It reads YouTube only, one video per plan, doesn't book anything, and saves the plan in your browser rather than an account with sharing links.

If you plan with others or want to book

The video apps above overlap with broader planners here:

• Editing together. Plotline and Dream Trip let others edit your trip. Wanderlog has live collaboration on its free plan, and its latest App Store release notes add an "Import from anywhere" feature that creates an itinerary from a pasted link or shared reels. Our roundup of Wanderlog alternatives compares the general planners.
• Booking in the same place. Jettova links flights, hotels and activities. Mindtrip is free, says it can turn inspiration from articles, videos, photos or Google Maps into a chat, collection or trip plan, and lets you invite friends to edit itineraries together; its website says you can book flights, stays and restaurants directly.

If a plan comes with booking buttons, it may help to know how the app earns money. A commission doesn't make a recommendation wrong, but it explains why a plan might lean toward things you can book.

Free routes worth trying first

Before installing anything, check what you already have:

• Google Maps screenshots. Google's help page says Maps can use Gemini to find places in your screenshots and save them to a list called Screenshots, on iPhone and iPad in certain countries, with up to 50 screenshots per manual upload. Our look at saving places from Google Maps screenshots covers where that stops.
• A general AI assistant. Our look at whether Gemini can watch a travel video and plan your trip covers that route and its limits.
• By hand. Logging stops from a video and saving them to Google Maps takes longer, but costs nothing and teaches you the route.

What to check before you commit

Run one test with a video you know well and look for these things:

1. A link back to the source. Can you jump to the moment in the video where a place appears? That's the fastest way to check a misheard name.
2. Real map matches. Is each stop matched to an actual listing, with hours and an address?
3. A way out. Can you export to Google Maps, a calendar, a PDF or a KML file, or does the plan live only inside the app?
4. Your phone. Plotline and Dream Trip are iPhone apps, so Android users should look at Triply or Jettova.
5. The pricing model. A weekly or monthly subscription costs more than you expect if you forget to cancel after one trip; a per-plan price costs more if you plan often.

Our checklist for choosing an AI itinerary generator goes deeper on each point.

Which one to pick

• Hundreds of saved Reels and TikToks, on iPhone: Plotline.
• The same, but on Android or a laptop: Triply.
• Opening hours built into the days, and fine with a subscription: Dream Trip.
• A short clip and a wish to book the whole trip: Jettova.
• Your own videos, turned into a sellable itinerary: Itinerista.
• One long YouTube guide you want to follow day by day: Vidtrip.

If that last case is yours, paste the video link into Vidtrip and compare the free preview with your own notes, or open the Tokyo example plan to see a finished result first. Whichever app you use, confirm hours, prices and bookings on official sites before you go.
