GoToday or plan it yourself?

An honest look at the options for planning your days in New York, including where we're not the best choice.

What you get	Search and Google Maps	A general AI chatbot	GoToday
Cost	Free	Free or a monthly plan	$1.99 a day (free in launch week)
Your time each day	You search, compare and check hours	You ask, check and ask again	One email to read
Knows what's on that exact day	If you search the right sites	Often not; may suggest things that ended	Yes: tickets, venue calendars, park events, free museum hours
Leave-by time from your hotel	Yes, one place at a time	Rarely	Yes, in every pick
Rain and heat plans	You check the forecast	If you ask	Built in, and an alert if rain moves in
Kids, diet, access needs	You filter yourself	If you tell it each time	Saved once, used every day
Exploring freely, maps offline	Best for this	No	No: we send picks, not a map app
A person showing you around	No	No	No: book a guided tour for that

When GoToday is not for you

You love researching every stop yourself. Search and maps are free and you'll enjoy it more.
Your days are already booked: a conference, a tour package, family plans.
You want someone with you. A guided tour or a local guide will be better.
You're outside New York. Other cities are not live yet.

When it helps most

Short trips (2 to 7 days) where every evening counts.
Travelling with kids, food needs or limited walking, where a wrong pick costs a lot.
First visits, when you don't know which areas fit together in one day.
