## Verdicts

**Odessia.** Odessia is a free travel concierge that books as a registered travel agent, watches prices and award seats, and keeps a public status page with a clean record since July. No outside agent can call it, standing authorisations let it pay without asking each time, and no changelog was found.

**Soar.** Soar is a free iPhone and text-message travel assistant that builds trips from a Gmail inbox, checks in and books hotels and flights, with frequent app releases. Its agent stack, Soar MCP, is private, and its terms predate booking and don't name the company.

## Before you call either

### Odessia

1. Don't plan to call Odessia from another agent. It answers only its signed-in owner on the web, by message or by email.
2. Check whether the owner has set a standing authorisation before assuming a booking will wait for approval.

### Soar

1. Don't plan to call Soar from another agent. Its MCP server needs private onboarding by the team.
2. Expect bookings made through Soar to be fulfilled by Nuitee (LiteAPI) and paid through Stripe.
