Frequently asked questions.
Are TripMind prices live?
Not by default. Planning estimates are labeled as estimates. Live provider prices should only be shown after a verified API, feed or partner deep-link is connected.
How does TripMind make money?
Potential revenue comes from contextual affiliate links and advertising. Affiliate relationships are disclosed and should not change factual estimates.
Can I change the affiliate provider?
Yes. Provider configuration is separated from the travel tools so a provider can be changed without rebuilding the interface.
Is the AI recommendation a guarantee?
No. It is a planning recommendation. Availability, prices, weather and personal preferences can change.
