Unique: Integrates budget tracking and cost estimation directly into the itinerary generation and refinement workflow, allowing users to see real-time cost impact of each activity or accommodation choice.

Unique: Integrates budget tracking directly into itinerary planning, enabling cost-aware recommendations and budget-constrained optimization — though the accuracy of cost estimates and enforcement of constraints are unclear
