A 2023 review notes the vertical layout in the 7 × 9 in planner looks very different from the vertical layout in the A5 version. Not every layout is offered in every size and design, so check the listing. ## What size is the LifePlanner, and does it come in A5? **The classic size is 7 × 9 in, a little wider and taller than A5.** Erin Condren currently sells A5 coiled and vegan leather LifePlanners too, plus softbound, daily and A5 ring-agenda versions; some past years also had an 8 × 10 in softbound. The coil means the planner lies flat and folds back on itself. It also adds width, so measure your bag if you carry it. ## How good is the paper? **Erin Condren lists 80 lb paper and says it resists ink bleed.** If that is text weight, it is about 118 gsm, close to the 120 gsm in the [Passion Planner](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/passion-planner/) and the [Clever Fox Planner PRO](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/clever-fox-planner-pro/). ## 12-month or 18-month? **Buy the 18-month edition if you start in summer, and the 12-month edition if you start in January.** Retail listings show 18-month editions running July to December of the following year. In October to January, the 12-month January–December edition is the usual pick. Erin Condren has also sold an undated coiled LifePlanner through Amazon. ## How does it compare with other planners? **It is the only coil-bound planner in this group, and the only one sold dated by default.** | | Erin Condren LifePlanner | [Hobonichi Techo Original](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/hobonichi-techo-original/) | [Passion Planner](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/passion-planner/) | |---|---|---|---| | Size | 7 × 9 in | A6 | Small to 7.8 × 11 in | | Format | Weekly | Page a day | Weekly | | Binding | Metal coil | Sewn | Bound | | Dated | Yes (undated on Amazon) | Yes | Dated or undated | Erin Condren also sells [sticker books](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/erin-condren-sticker-book/) sized for its planners. ## Where is the Erin Condren LifePlanner made, and what does it cost? **Erin Condren's Collage LifePlanner page says its planners are made in the USA, "right here at home".** Its LifePlanner landing page uses "Designed in the USA" instead, so the product page is the one to rely on. Erin Condren lists 7 × 9 in coiled LifePlanners at US$57.50 to US$67.50, in our $$$ band ($20–75); add-on pages, coil upgrades or third-party resellers (one lists a 2027 planner at US$105) can push it over $75. ## Frequently asked questions ### What size is the Erin Condren LifePlanner?
