Video backgrounds

For people who live in the new tab. Included already if you are on Pro or Publisher.

✓Included at no extra cost with Pro and Publisher

Terms of sale

Seller. Video backgrounds are sold by Wanderlust App LLC, 4112 Manor Oaks Ct, Export, PA 15632, USA — not by Google. Google is not a party to this purchase and does not handle billing, support or refunds for it. Questions go to support@wanderlustapp.io.

What you are buying. A subscription that turns the still photograph on your Wanderlust new-tab extension into a moving clip for destinations where one is available — 5 destinations at the moment. Destinations without a clip continue to show still photography. Clips may be added over time; no specific destination or number of destinations is guaranteed. The subscription also unlocks the extension's region filters and travel passport. Nothing else about your Wanderlust account changes.

Price and renewal. $39.99 per year (about $3.33 a month), or $3.99 per month. Prices are in USD and include tax. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period, at the same price, until you cancel. Payment is taken by Stripe; we never see your card details.

Cancelling. Cancel any time from your billing settings, which opens the Stripe Customer Portal — the same place you can update your payment method or download invoices. Cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep video backgrounds until the end of the period you have already paid for. There is no cancellation fee and no minimum term.

Refunds. If the product is not what you expected, email support@wanderlustapp.io within 7 days of a charge and we will refund it in full, no questions asked. After 7 days we do not refund part-used periods — cancel instead, and you keep access until the period ends. This is in addition to any refund or cancellation rights you have under your local consumer law, which nothing here limits.

Already subscribed to Pro or Publisher? Video backgrounds are already included in your plan at no extra cost. Do not buy this — you would be paying twice for the same thing, and checkout will stop you.

Side by side

Every feature, every plan.

The honest comparison. If you're stuck between Free and Pro, the tipping point is usually a fourth AI itinerary within 30 days — or the first trip you want to plan with someone else.

Hosting terms

How hosts are paid. Hosts are paid through Stripe. For each booking, Wanderlust keeps a 5% platform fee plus the card processing fee, and sends you the rest 24 hours after the trip starts. Payouts run through Stripe: you set up a Stripe account from your publisher dashboard, Stripe verifies your details, and a priced trip opens for booking once that is done. Stripe then sends the money to your bank on your Stripe payout schedule.

Why after the trip starts. Holding a booking's money until 24 hours after the start date means a traveler can be refunded in full if a trip does not run.

Cancellations and refunds. A booking that is cancelled or refunded before its payout date is not paid out. If a traveler is refunded after you have been paid, your share of that refund is taken back from your Stripe balance.

Where. Payouts are available to hosts based in the United States.

Pricing questions

The small print, without the small type.

Is the free plan really free forever?

Yes. No trial clock, no credit card, no starter gotchas. Free includes the AI assistant, 3 AI-built itineraries every 30 days, invites for your travel companions on one active trip at a time, city guides, your passport, and offline Trip Mode in the iOS app. When your planning outgrows it, Pro is there.

What do I actually get with Wanderlust Pro?

Unlimited AI-built itineraries; invites on every trip, so your travel companions can plan with you and see each other's edits live; flight alerts — an email and an iPhone notification for everyone on the trip when a flight is delayed 30 minutes or more, cancelled or changes gate in the day before it leaves; every insider tip on every city guide (practical tips on its sights and neighbourhoods; free shows one per guide); and the browser extension's extras: video backgrounds, region filters and your passport. Everything in Free stays included.

Do the people I invite need Pro?

No. On the free plan you can invite people to one active trip at a time; Pro removes that limit. Anyone who accepts can join and edit the trip on a free account.

Can I try Pro before I pay?

Yes. New subscribers get 7 days of Pro free. Checkout takes your card but charges nothing for 7 days; then Pro bills at the price you chose, unless you cancel before the trial ends. If you've subscribed before, checkout goes straight to the paid plan. The free plan's 3 AI-built itineraries every 30 days are there too, so you can plan a real trip either way.

Is there a long-term commitment?

No. Cancel anytime from your account settings — you keep access until the end of your billing period. No questions asked.

What's the difference between Pro and Publisher?

Pro is for planning trips. Publisher adds creator tools: publish travel guides on Wanderlust, schedule posts, host trips that travelers can book, and a dashboard with your guide views and trip bookings.

How do hosts get paid for their trips?

Hosts are paid through Stripe. For each booking, Wanderlust keeps a 5% platform fee plus the card processing fee, and sends you the rest 24 hours after the trip starts. Set up payouts with Stripe from your publisher dashboard; a priced trip opens for booking once Stripe has verified your account. If a traveler is refunded after you've been paid, your share of the refund comes back out of your Stripe balance.

How do I upgrade?

Click "Start your 7-day free trial" on the Pro card, sign in, and complete checkout. Pro unlocks as soon as the trial starts.

The first trip is the hardest

Start free. Upgrade when the trip gets real.

Your first draft is one short form away. A few minutes to decide if Pro is worth it. On annual, that's less than $0.17/day.
