Both tools help you stop living in a dozen browser tabs. Wanderlog is for people who already know the plan and need a shared map. MuseMiles is for people who want the first draft to respect a slow pace without building the spreadsheet first.

Pick Wanderlog if
The itinerary already exists in your head, several people need to edit it, and the map is the product. Wanderlog is better at that job today. MuseMiles should not be sold as a group trip board.
Pick MuseMiles if
You want an AI first draft that gets thinner when you set pace to slow, you save places while you browse, and you want flights and stays on the same trip object. After the draft you still edit by hand - the difference is you did not start from a blank grid.

Honest overlap
Both can hold days and places. Both can sit next to a map. Neither should be described as the other. If you need both jobs - a slow AI draft and a live shared map - use MuseMiles to generate, then move the final days into Wanderlog for the group. That is a real workflow, not a slight.
