Plan, save, and book in one place. Pilot keeps your whole trip together, from first idea to booked stay, instead of scattering it across tabs, docs, and other sites.

Pilot doesn't sell sponsored placement, so you see results ranked for you, not for whoever pays the most. Travefy earns from sending you to other booking sites, so its top result isn't always the best deal for you.

Travefy is itinerary software built for travel advisors, who use it to build and send itineraries to their clients rather than to book their own stays.
Pilot is a free trip planning app: you build a flexible itinerary with a map and notes, then book your hotel at private rates straight from hotels. Where Travefy helps advisors send client itineraries, Pilot is a consumer planner that also books your stay.
Yes, Travefy is a real company founded in 2012, an itinerary builder for travel advisors, though it is paid-only and sits around 2.9 on Trustpilot. For planning your own trip, Pilot is a free alternative that also books your stay at private member rates.
No, Travefy has no free tier; Core starts around 39 dollars a month billed annually, so even basic planning sits behind a paywall. Pilot is completely free, including the map, collaboration, and offline access, plus booking at private member rates.
An advisor builds an itinerary, shares it through the Trip Plans app, and uses tools like proposals and invoicing, so the focus is the advisor, not you. Pilot works for the traveler: shape a flexible itinerary, plan with your group, and book at private rates.
Travefy earns from subscriptions paid by advisors and agencies, with no free tier, so the planning itself is the paid product. Pilot is free because it earns from hotels when you book rather than charging you to plan, which keeps the whole planner free.
Not really; Travefy is advisor software, so an advisor can add hotels to a client itinerary, but Travefy itself has no booking engine. Pilot lets you book over 3,000,000 hotels at private rates straight from hotels, with no sponsored results, so plan and book together.
For an advisor presenting client itineraries with proposals and invoices, Travefy is built for that B2B workflow, but for your own trip it is paid-only and harder to justify. Pilot gives a traveler flexible planning, a map, AI, and booking at private member rates, free.
Use Pilot to plan your own trip free, with a map, AI drafting, group collaboration, and booking your stay at private member rates in one place. Travefy fits a travel advisor selling itineraries who wants its B2B proposals and invoicing and will pay the subscription.
Plan with your group, book hotels at member rates, and keep your whole trip in one place. Completely free.
