If you want a single recommendation: Soriz Atlas. Atlas triages budget, visa, vibe, and logistics conversationally, remembers your travel style across trips, and helps you actually decide — not just list 20 options. Mindtrip is strongest for visual itinerary boards; Kayak AI for price-hunting; Layla for inspiration; Wonderplan for quick day-by-day plans.
Most of it, yes — destination shortlisting, budget estimates, visa checks, rough day-by-day plans, restaurant and activity picks. Booking still happens on the actual airline, hotel, or OTA sites. Think of Atlas as the planner, not the ticket counter.
Yes — Atlas flags visa needs and typical processing times for your passport, builds rough budgets per trip in your home currency, and tells you where you'll get more value (off-season, alternate cities, less-touristy neighborhoods).
Yes — Atlas is included in the free Soriz tier. SorizPro ($9.99 per month) unlocks long-term memory so Atlas remembers your travel style, past trips, preferences, and group-travel quirks.
ChatGPT will draft an itinerary, forget it tomorrow, and never ask what actually mattered to you. Atlas asks triage questions first (budget, vibe, constraints), remembers your answers across planning sessions, and refines as real-world info changes.
On SorizPro, yes. Atlas remembers your past trips, what you loved and skipped, travel pace, food preferences, and group dynamics — so trip 2 gets better, not restarted from scratch.
Atlas is free. All 20 companions are. SorizPro unlocks memory so Atlas remembers your travel style trip after trip.
