- Rough UK price: Free; paid plans from £4.49/month
- Free tier: Yes.
- UK caveats: Opening times, prices and National Trust or English Heritage member deals change often. Always check the venue's own site before you set off.
- Don't use it if you are: Anyone who wants tickets booked for them; it plans, it doesn't buy.
Alternative: ChatGPT
- Official site: chatgpt.com

- Rough UK price: Free; Go £7/month; Plus £20/month
- Free tier: Yes.
- UK caveats: Same: double-check prices and opening hours.
- Don't use it if you are: Last-minute plans where live availability matters.
