A route, not a list
Every travel tool gives you places. The hard part is the order, the nights and the drives between them, so that is what the product produces: a route with a price on it, ready to argue with.
About
Built around the whole trip
Every trip started the same way: eight browser tabs, a spreadsheet with made-up hotel prices, and a map open in a ninth tab to work out whether two of the places were even near each other. The tools were all either a list of destinations or a booking engine. Nothing would answer the actual question: what does the whole trip look like, and what does it cost?
So Outrouted starts at the route. Give it countries, a length and a ceiling, and it comes back with up to three routes on a map: ordered stops, nights per stop, estimated travel times and estimated costs. Pick one and it is built into a trip with days and places to sleep. Edit the trip and the budget follows. Re-plan to update the route.
Our take
Four opinions about planning
One number, moving
A budget that does not react to a change is decoration. Reorder a stop and the estimated costs follow. Re-plan to update the route-leg details.
Estimates, labelled
Prices here are estimates and say so. The alternative, a confident number that turns out wrong at checkout, costs the reader more than an honest range ever will.
It ends at the official source
Outrouted will tell you a permit exists, what it costs, how long it takes and where to file it. It will not pretend to have filed it. That line is drawn in the interface as well as in the terms.
Small on purpose
Who is behind it
One person, working under a Lithuanian individual activity certificate. No company, no investors, no board. Small enough that whoever wrote the routing logic is whoever answers the email about it, and small enough that we would rather print “not built yet” than ship a feature that half works. The roadmap in the repository lists what is missing, in order, with no marketing on it.
No data sold either. A few links on the home page are paid: book through one of the providers listed there and they pay us a commission out of their own margin, at no cost to you. The terms name every one of them and say exactly how it works, and none of them can buy a place in a route. The product itself costs money, because that is what keeps it the planner we wanted and not one a partner network shaped.
