- Can I use Be Outside for free?
- Yes. The Free plan includes activity discovery, manual trip planning, your activities grouped into days by area, private and public trips, packing lists, expenses and two AI-assisted trips a month. No card is required. Ordering each day by real driving distance is part of Plus.
- What does the AI planner actually do?
- It uses your destination, dates, group size and interests to choose verified activities, spread them across the available days and arrange each day into a sensible route. The result is a starting point: you can move, remove or add anything.
- Are the activities real?
- Activities added by the assisted planner must have a verified Google Place ID. You can open an activity to see its live place information before deciding whether it belongs on your trip.
- What is included with Plus?
- Plus gives you unlimited AI-assisted trips, each day ordered by real driving distance with travel times and CO₂ between stops, unlimited collaborators, and lower member rates on eligible stays. It costs £5.99 monthly or £49 yearly and can be managed or cancelled through secure Stripe billing.
- Can I book a hotel through Be Outside?
- Yes. Add trip dates, then open the Stay tab to search and compare bookable rooms. We show the total before payment, re-confirm it when the provider holds the room, and only charge once the booking is confirmed. Cancellation and refunds follow the rate’s displayed policy. Plus members see lower member rates on eligible stays.
- Can other people help plan?
- Yes. Invite people as viewers or editors, share public trips, manage packing together and keep group expenses alongside the itinerary. Free trips can have up to five collaborators each; Plus removes the limit.
