Getting Started

Plans

What each Trailkeep plan unlocks.

Trailkeep is free to use with an account. Pro lifts storage and itinerary limits.

Account types

Free

Creating a free account is quick and costs nothing. It unlocks persistent storage and the full feature set:

  • Everything saved to your profile, accessible from any device
  • Gear vault — build a reusable library of items to pull into any trip
  • Collaborative editing — share a read-only or co-edit link with anyone, no account needed on their side
  • Safety system — emergency contacts, Safety QR, GPS capture, trip-end overdue alerts, and Safety Timer

Free accounts have storage limits: up to 6 trips, up to 10 gear lists, and itinerary trips of up to 3 days each.

Pro

Pro has one core difference from Free: no limits.

  • Unlimited trips — no cap on how many trips you can have in your account
  • Unlimited itinerary days — plan trips of any length, not just 3-day windows
  • Unlimited gear lists — no cap on lists in your account
  • Clone long shared trips from others — copy creator routes that exceed the Free day cap

Everything else — the Safety Timer (return-by monitoring on all tiers; Check-in Timer where available), collaborative editing, GPS capture, trail companions — works the same on all tiers.

Pioneer (legacy)

If you signed up during open beta, you may have Pioneer access — equivalent to Pro with a badge on shared content. Pioneer is not assigned to new accounts. See Pioneer plan.
