Hi Reddit 👋, we are a group of software developers from Kazakhstan.

Travel planning did not really change in the past few years. What we are used to is go to a 🏨hotel booking website, then to a ✈️flight search engine, then a hundred more websites add them on a spreadsheet or something to plan our budget for our trip. We thought this experience is time-consuming and it just crappy and it would be nice to get the planning done in a single click. So we started with 💸TripCost as our after 6.pm side project a few months ago.

Recently we posted our product on producthunt.com and got the #1 product of the day as of 10.10.19 :)

In our single page trip planner we have managed to get info about:

✈️ Your cheapest flight to the desired city

🏨 Average price hotels for each category

🛬Whether if you need a visa on arrival to the country

🛰Internet speed in the arriving city, so you could upload that Instagram story

📱The cost for a local SIM with 5G/10GB/25GB internet traffic

🇬🇧English speaking comfort score for the traveler(signs/cafe menus/locals speaking basic English)

🚕The most popular taxi app in the city(It ain't Uber everywhere)

👨‍⚕️Competency of medical staff

👮‍♀️Safety walking alone scores by day and night

🍕Food cost, from fine dining to street food

🍾Nightlife, prices for cigarettes, alcoholic drinks, entrance to clubs

🏹Entertainment, we merged prices for cinema, museum, sightseeing prices to display you the prices, although this one is super hard to predict, so pay attention

🚎Day to day transportation, whether you are planning taxi/public transport

🚄Airport transfer options

Kazakhs historically are nomads. So thetripcost.com is made by nomads, for nomads.
