Roadtrippers
Plan your journey, find amazing places, and take fascinating detours with the world's #1 roadtrip planning platform
RoadTrippers has a location limit of 10 waypoints. Used to be 60 waypoints until they introduced a high requiring subscription fee.
yup used to be great but 10 waypoints is not enough and $40 seems a bit steep for a once in a while app
I used to be an avid user of this service and suggested it readily to anyone who I found out was planning a vacation. Since they decided to start charging people $40, I am now doing the opposite. This is a garbage decision in my personal opinion and highly recommend using other free alternatives unless you're OK with paying for something that used to be free.
Yeah... I used to use it back when we had an RV, and it was great. Was about to do a road trip, and boom... Not 10 waypoints any more. Five (5) waypoints, or $40. I might sign up after I retire and we're doing a lot of road trips, but at a road trip every two years, that's a pretty dang expensive service. Looking elsewhere, alas. alternative.me needs to reclassify this from "free to "freemium". The "free" offering is pretty badly crippled.
Pointless app now that is a subscription based service. Paying 29 euro a year... Most people don't take that many large trips in a year. If it was a once off payment it would make more sense
It's unfortunate that Roadtrippers has decided to drastically limit the use of their site without recurring payments for a "Plus" membership. It is now reduced to a side reference to apply to another mapping app that can handle multiple stops and can be shared with multiple people. I have, in the past, used and recommemded your site. This will no longer be the case.
They got cocky and started charging for a service that use to be free. Most people take one or two roadtrips a year, they aren't going to be paying 30 dollars for a glorified google maps.
We used Roadtrippers to plan a big road trip 2 years ago with the grandchildren. They were all able to pick destinations that interested them so we had a great trip that had something for everyone. This year we were thinking about another big trip and lo and behold...5 destination limit or pay $30!!!! for 1 trip a year or 2? No thanks!
Find sponsors, don't charge your users...I'll tolerate a lot of adds before I'll pay for an upgrade.
I'd like to pile on here. Last summer I used Roadtrippers to plan a coast to coast roadtrip. Was thrilled with the website and how easy it was to use. Swore by it and told friends to use it. Now I am in early stages of planning next summer's big roadtrip but have unfortunately learned I am required to pay for waypoints. Great site, but there are too many free alternatives to make it worth the hassle to register or pay. Best of luck.
I joined Roadtrippers before it was acquired and excessively monetized by Thor Industries, and it was a great service that I suggested to everyone who told me they were thinking about going on a trip. Since it was acquired, though, I've moved away from using it and suggested others do the same. Unless you have the kind of money to take multiple road trips a year, the high annual fee is not worth the return you get from using the app.
Just recommended Roadtrippers to a friend who advised me of this new change. What a shame! I agree with everyone here. For 1 or 2 road trips per year, that's an outrageous fee. Time to delete this worthless app which now limits to 5 stops!
