Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Apurv, a data analyst who travels whenever he can and spends too much time staring at spreadsheets. The problem that started this: Every time I planned a trip, I'd search "how much does Tokyo cost" and get a different answer on every blog, ranging from $40/day to $200/day with no context on what's included. Travel budget content is either vague, outdated, or subtly incentivised to make destinations look affordable so you click an affiliate booking link. I wanted one honest tool that just told me the real number. What Farebones does: You enter a destination, travel style (backpacker through luxury), trip length and where you're from, and it gives you a full daily cost breakdown across 6 categories, a return flight estimate, visa requirements, the best months to visit, honest reality checks (the things people always underestimate), and money-saving tips specific to that destination. Everything converts into your home currency automatically. No booking commissions. No affiliate incentives. The only goal is accuracy. How it evolved: It started as a simple cost estimator. Through building it I realised the most valuable thing wasn't the numbers, it was the context around them. The "reality checks" section (e.g. "most people underestimate food costs in Tokyo by 40%") turned out to be what people found most useful. So that became a core feature rather than an afterthought. What's next: Real-time flight prices when a good free API becomes available, and more destination coverage. For now it's 170+ cities worldwide and completely free. Would genuinely love feedback: considering the loading speeds and especially if the numbers feel off for somewhere you've been. 🙏
