Why compare these two apps?
This page is an in-depth comparison of the Kompas Podróży app and the Wanderlog app — two popular tools people pick when planning group trips. We line both apps up side by side: features, pricing, subscription models, free-tier limits and typical use cases, so you don't have to test them yourself.
The app comparison is based on the public documentation of both products and on daily use of Kompas Podróży on real trips. We focus on what actually makes a difference: whether the app can plan an itinerary day by day, whether it supports a shared budget and expense splitting, whether it works offline, how many participants it allows and at what cost.
If you're trying to decide which of these apps to use for a specific trip, read the "When to choose Kompas Podróży" and "When to choose Wanderlog" sections below. We list concrete situations in which one app clearly wins over the other, instead of saying "both are good".

Wrapping up the app comparison
In short: Kompas Podróży and Wanderlog solve partly different problems. If you're looking for everything in one app — a day-by-day plan, packing list, shared budget and expense splitting — the natural choice is Kompas Podróży. If you only need one specific thing, the Wanderlog app may be enough.
Whichever app you go with, remember one thing: good trip planning starts with deciding who is responsible for what in the group and what the shared budget is. The rest — the cost-splitting tool, the daily plan, the packing list — is just a way to keep that on track.
