FAQ

Layag questions, answered.

Straight answers about what Layag does, who it's for, and how early access works — the same facts as the rest of the site, all in one place.

What is Layag?

Layag is an AI travel planner app that builds day-by-day itineraries, checks visa requirements for your passport, tracks your trip budget, and keeps emergency numbers and your embassy one tap away while you travel.

Is Layag free?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 AI itineraries, 100 Smart Agent messages a month, visa checks, Travel SOS, budget tracking and the guide Marketplace. Layag Pro, monthly or yearly, adds unlimited itineraries and agent messages, flight and stay booking from your trip, and Creator Studio.

How does Layag check visa requirements?

Layag compares your passport country with each destination on your trip and shows whether you can go visa-free, need an e-visa or visa on arrival, or need a visa, then reminds you before departure. It covers 195+ countries; always confirm on the destination's official government website before booking.

What is Travel SOS?

Travel SOS shows the police, ambulance and fire numbers for every country on your trip and the nearest embassy or consulate for your passport, works offline once loaded, and lets you share your live location with family for 15 minutes, 1 hour or 8 hours.

Is my live location public?

No. A live-location link works only while the share you started is active, ends automatically after the time you chose (24 hours at most), can be stopped at any time, and can't be found by searching.

How is Layag different from a regular trip-planning app or chatbot?

A chatbot gives you a list in a chat thread. Layag saves a real plan with your dates, budget and passport, keeps sending visa reminders and weather alerts after it's made, and puts emergency help and day-by-day guides from creators who've done the route in the same app.

What are Layag travel guides?

Travel guides are day-by-day itineraries and place lists written by travel creators, sold in the Layag Marketplace. You can preview Day 1 for free, and every guide you buy stays in your account permanently, including the entry rules and emergency numbers for the countries it covers.

Can I sell my own travel guides?

Yes. Layag Pro members can build guides in Creator Studio, set a price, and earn from every sale. The app shows your earnings on each sale, after the app store's fee and Layag's platform fee.

Is Layag available yet?

Layag is preparing its iOS and Android launch and is building its founding cohort through a waitlist. The first 1,000 travelers to join get 500 free credits to try the whole app once it opens.

How do I get early access to Layag?

Join the waitlist at layagapp.com/waitlist — it takes an email address, no payment required, and the first 1,000 travelers who sign up are guaranteed 500 free credits when the app opens.

Who is Layag for?

Layag is built for solo travelers, digital nomads, first-timers abroad, families, and travel groups who want one app holding their whole trip, plus creators who want to turn local travel knowledge into paid guides for travelers heading their way.

What does the name "Layag" mean?

Layag is Filipino for "to set sail" — maglayag means to set out across open water. The name reflects the product: you go, and Layag keeps an eye on the weather ahead of you the way a sailor reads the sky before leaving, not after.

Is Layag the same as Layla?

No. Layag (layagapp.com) is a separate, independent AI travel planner app; its name is Filipino for "to set sail". It isn't affiliated with Layla (layla.ai) or with the Layag travel magazine.
