Video backgrounds

For people who live in the new tab. Included already if you are on Pro or Publisher.

  • ✓Still photography everywhere else, exactly as today
  • ✓Switch back to stills whenever you like — no cancelling
  • ✓Filter new tabs by region, and keep your travel passport in the extension
  • ✓Included at no extra cost with Pro and Publisher

Terms of sale

Seller. Video backgrounds are sold by Wanderlust App LLC, 4112 Manor Oaks Ct, Export, PA 15632, USA — not by Google. Google is not a party to this purchase and does not handle billing, support or refunds for it. Questions go to support@wanderlustapp.io.

What you are buying. A subscription that turns the still photograph on your Wanderlust new-tab extension into a moving clip for destinations where one is available — 5 destinations at the moment. Destinations without a clip continue to show still photography. Clips may be added over time; no specific destination or number of destinations is guaranteed. The subscription also unlocks the extension's region filters and travel passport. Nothing else about your Wanderlust account changes.

Price and renewal. $39.99 per year (about $3.33 a month), or $3.99 per month. Prices are in USD and include tax. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period, at the same price, until you cancel. Payment is taken by Stripe; we never see your card details.

Cancelling. Cancel any time from your billing settings, which opens the Stripe Customer Portal — the same place you can update your payment method or download invoices. Cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep video backgrounds until the end of the period you have already paid for. There is no cancellation fee and no minimum term.

Refunds. If the product is not what you expected, email support@wanderlustapp.io within 7 days of a charge and we will refund it in full, no questions asked. After 7 days we do not refund part-used periods — cancel instead, and you keep access until the period ends. This is in addition to any refund or cancellation rights you have under your local consumer law, which nothing here limits.

Already subscribed to Pro or Publisher? Video backgrounds are already included in your plan at no extra cost. Do not buy this — you would be paying twice for the same thing, and checkout will stop you.

Side by side

Every feature, every plan.

The honest comparison. If you're stuck between Free and Pro, the tipping point is usually a fourth AI itinerary within 30 days — or the first trip you want to plan with someone else.

Publisher · for creators and operators

For the friend whose trips everyone wants to copy.

You've planned it. Now share it properly. Publisher gives you a place to publish guides and host trips on Wanderlust — and a dashboard that shows how they're doing.

i.

Publish guides on Wanderlust.

Write up the trip you actually took — or have AI draft a guide from a city or a link, then make it yours. It goes out on Wanderlust, in front of our readers.

ii.

Host trips.

List a small-group trip with dates, a price and a set number of seats. Travelers book through Wanderlust's checkout, and anyone can copy your itinerary into their own Wanderlust.

iii.

See what's working.

Views and reading time for your guides; bookings, revenue and seats filled for your trips — all in one dashboard.

iv.

Schedule your drops.

Write now, pick a date, and the post goes live on its own. Everything in Pro still applies — this just adds the publishing half of the job.

Pricing questions

The small print, without the small type.

Is the free plan really free forever?
+

Yes. No trial clock, no credit card, no starter gotchas. Free includes the AI assistant, 3 AI-built itineraries every 30 days, city guides, your passport, and offline Trip Mode in the iOS app. When your planning outgrows it, Pro is there.

What do I actually get with Wanderlust Pro?
+

Unlimited AI-built itineraries; invites, so your travel companions can plan a trip with you and see each other's edits live; insider tips — local picks for food, cafés and sights — on every city page; and the browser extension's extras: video backgrounds, region filters and your passport. Everything in Free stays included.

Do the people I invite need Pro?
+

No. Only the trip's owner needs Pro to send invites. Anyone who accepts can join and edit the trip on a free account.

Can I try Pro before I pay?
+

There's no free trial of Pro itself, but the free plan includes 3 AI-built itineraries every 30 days, so you can plan a real trip before deciding. Pro removes that cap and adds trip invites and insider city tips.

Is there a long-term commitment?
+

No. Cancel anytime from your account settings — you keep access until the end of your billing period. No questions asked.

What's the difference between Pro and Publisher?
+

Pro is for planning trips. Publisher adds creator tools: publish travel guides on Wanderlust, schedule posts, host trips that travelers can book, and a dashboard with your guide views and trip bookings.

How do I upgrade?
+

Click "Start with Pro" on any plan card, sign in, and complete checkout. Pro unlocks as soon as your payment goes through.

The first trip is the hardest

Start free. Upgrade when the trip gets real.

Ninety seconds to your first draft. A few minutes to decide if Pro is worth it. On annual, that's less than $0.17/day.
