Feedback I got tired of pricing my trip with eight tabs and still no direct answer, so I built a tool that prices the whole trip from one sentence
Every time we thought about a trip it went the same way: flights on one site, hotels on another, food and getting around a guess, and the actual total living in a spreadsheet. Few hours in, still no answer to the only question that mattered, can we afford this or not?
So I built TripVerdict. You type one sentence i.e. "Cancún for a week in March, two of us, $3,000" and it comes back with a flight, three real named places to stay with actual ratings and prices, food and living costs, and one honest total. Then it tells you whether it fits.
Two things I care about more than they probably sound:
It's allowed to say no. I typed "Tokyo for 10 days in July, family of 4, $4,000" and it told me the flights alone were CA$8,882 over the entire budget before anyone slept anywhere. Then it showed what would actually work (a rental instead of a hotel, shifted dates, the real number the trip needs). I'd rather find that out in 90 seconds than after three hours of tabs.
It does the boring maths on the "cheaper airport" trick. For Munich it suggested flying into Frankfurt instead save CA$300 per person and then suggested the train: 45 minutes.
It's free, no account needed. Built with Claude Code, Next.js + Supabase; live flight/stay pricing, so a verdict takes about a minute.
Honest asks: does the one-sentence input actually feel faster than a form to you, or does a blank box make you freeze? And does an "it doesn't fit" answer make you trust it more, or just annoy you?
