Every travel site shows you $4,000 trips when you have $2,000. Trips in Reach flips that. Tell it your budget, dates, and travelers — get 3–5 realistic US vacation concepts that actually fit, with honest cost breakdowns. AI-planned, free to try.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Jeff — solo founder, three months in. I built Trips in Reach because I got tired of falling in love with $4,000 trips on a $2,000 budget. Every travel site starts with "where do you want to go?" Then you fall in love with a destination, then you find out the price, then you're deflated. My version asks $ first, and hides anything that doesn't fit. If you have $1,800 for 5 nights in August with two kids, it returns 3–5 real options — with honest total costs — and nothing over-budget makes it to the results page. The AI is Claude Sonnet 4.6. The lodging prices are calibrated from real market data (Claude was 30–50% off when I let it estimate). Free to try, no account needed for the first search. What I'd love feedback on: 1. Is the "give me your budget first" framing clear enough on the intake? 2. Do the cost estimates feel trustworthy? (I ran a real search for a family trip to Sedona last week — came in at $2,150 estimate, actual was $2,090.) 3. What's the destination or trip you'd try first? Happy to answer anything. I'll be around all day.

Would love to see an option to filter by travel style or vibe, like "foodie," "outdoorsy," or "laid-back beach." Once I plug in my budget and dates, getting ideas that match the kind of trip I'm in the mood for would save me from scrolling through concepts that look great on paper but just aren't my speed.

Finally something that doesn't make me scroll past a bunch of dream trips I can't afford. Plopped in $2k for a long weekend and got a Shenandoah cabin idea that actually added up when I sanity-checked the breakdown.
