Prit – Effortless Collaborative Travel Planning

This podcast describes Prit, a new travel planning application launched by a team of three college students. It highlights the app’s drag-and-drop interface for creating time-based itineraries, addressing common frustrations with existing planning tools that lack time-aware scheduling and seamless collaboration. Prit also features automatic time zone conversion and offers a one-time payment model rather than subscriptions, aiming to provide a clean, user-friendly experience for sharing travel plans. Initial user feedback and responses from the makers are also included, indicating ongoing efforts to refine the user experience, such as addressing login issues and language display.

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts. The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same.

What problems does Prit aim to solve with current travel planning methods?

Prit was created to address several common frustrations with existing travel planning tools.

How does Prit differentiate itself from other travel planning apps?

Prit stands out by allowing users to schedule by “dragging and resizing blocks on a real timetable,” offering the ability to view any plan in “any time zone,” and facilitating collaboration in shared workspaces where “everyone can suggest drafts and no one steps on anyone’s toes.” Furthermore, it offers a “no subscriptions” model, requiring only a “one payment to store your plans forever,” contrasting with other apps that demand annual fees.

What is the pricing model for Prit?

Prit operates on a “no subscriptions” model. Users make a “one payment to store your plans forever,” eliminating the need for recurring annual fees often found in other travel planning applications.
