Plans and billing
1 min readUpdated Aug 12, 2026
Free
Everything you need to plan and run a trip is free, solo or with a crew: trip ideas and voting, availability and budget matching, chat, tasks, packing, documents, the day by day planner, expenses, splits, payment requests and settling up, check-ins with your own photos, the trip map, the photo album, and share links with the guestbook. No card required.
Pro
Pro adds the AI features. Pro is currently a private, invitation-only beta. Invited testers get complimentary Pro access and an allowance of AI credits, and no payment method is required.
Public paid plans will be introduced later. Any prices shown on the pricing page are planned pricing and cannot be bought yet.
See Which features use AI for the full list, and Beta Pro access if you are a beta tester.
Who needs Pro
Only the person who presses an AI button. Everyone else on the trip sees and uses the result at no cost.
AI credits
AI features are paid for with AI credits, a BucketBuddy unit rather than money. See AI credits explained.
Where to look
Billing shows the plan you are actually on and whether any payment is involved. AI credits shows your balance and recent activity.
