No subscription. Just credits, and they go a long way

Buy a pack once and spend it only when Sam actually works — routes researched, fares compared, reservations checked. A four-city trip runs to about 11 credits. The smallest pack holds 100.

Covering Europe's major rail operators

A four-city trip, itemised

Credits meter Sam's work, not your time. Every charge in a Berlin-to-Budapest plan, at the rates the app actually bills — and what's still in the pack when the trip is booked.

Asking is free. You pay for the lookups, route research and fare searches behind an answer, never for typing the question.

Nothing runs blind. Your balance is visible in-app and updates the moment Sam finishes a reply.

Mistakes aren't billed. If a reply fails on our side, the credits go straight back.

And the comparison itself pays: many travellers save more than the cost of a pack on a single trip.

When you'd rather someone else did it

Short on time, or the trip is genuinely awkward? A rail expert takes the plan off your hands — validating every leg, confirming reservations, and preparing the backups for the legs most likely to fall over.

Common questions

What are credits and how do they work?

Credits are the currency you use with Conductor Sam. Each piece of work — a knowledge lookup, a route researched, a fare searched, a planning step — costs a small number of credits. Buy a pack and the credits are valid for 365 days from purchase.

How does billing work?

Credit packs are one-time purchases — there's no recurring subscription and nothing auto-renews. Buy the pack that suits you and top up whenever you like. Packs start at $5.99 for 100 credits.

How does concierge work?

The concierge service is open to every Conductor Sam account. Once you request it, we'll work with you directly to build the trip. Concierge is billed at $100/hour and doesn't draw on your credits.

Is there a refund policy?

If you change your mind before you use your credits, we will offer you a full refund within 14 days of purchase.

Can I try Conductor Sam for free?

Yes. Every new account gets 10 free taster credits. Sign up and start chatting with Sam about your train travel plans — no payment required.
