Yes! All locals have access to every previous plan they've built. But, because requests are usually different, reusing content isn't very common.
Custom itineraries on Fiverr are definitely in the competition, but because we pick every local before making them a Localfu and have a system to build awesome plans, we hope the experience is better through us.
TripHobo is cool. Because we're only giving recommendations right now, I could actually see our users getting local recommendations through us, and then optimizing and booking the trip with those suggestions through TripHobo.

Local recs may offer better logistics than an algo, then you could also earn the booking revenue.
Would there be competition from Fiverr for custom itineraries?
TripHobo is focusing on logistics, but can offer a free service because they make money on hotel bookings, http://thenextweb.com/in/2014/06/30/travel-planner-triphobo-...
