TripIt

Review:

Launched in 2006, TripIt allows users to easily organize and consolidate all their travel plans through one application. The software makes it easy to organize bookings and travel plans by syncing with users' inboxes. The platform also features navigation tools, travel statistics, and check-in notifications.

TripIt is more affordable than most competitors thanks to its free plan; however, certain key features are only available with the paid version, including check-in notifications and airfare and seat notifications.

Pros:

• TripIt's basic service is completely free to use.
• TripIt organizes travel plans into a mobile itinerary on a single platform that is available across multiple devices.
• The platform syncs with your inbox and calendar to automatically add travel plans to your itinerary.
• TripIt provides the latest COVID-19 guidelines, restrictions, and requirements for destinations.
• The software tracks and tallies users' travel statistics.
• The platform provides a single location for all travel documents, including photos, QR codes, and PDFs.
• TripIt Pro provides notifications for better airfare prices, flight seats, and check-in reminders.
• The platform is compatible with thousands of different airlines, lodging, car rental, cruise, rail, events, restaurants, and booking partners.
• TripIt Pro's Partner Perk feature allows users to speed through security lines with a discounted CLEAR membership.
• The app provides a navigator that includes airport maps, nearby places, and neighborhood safety scores.

Cons:

• The platform lacks live chat support.
• Since TripIt for Teams' retirement, the platform caters primarily to small business trips and family vacations.
• The free version lacks key features, including notifications, country-specific travel info, and security fast-track.
• The platform lacks expense tracking features.

Reputation:

Favorable reviews on TrustRadius and G2 cited the ease-of-use, reminder notifications, email and calendar sync, and real-time flight tracking features as highlights. Travelers included its costly price point, integrations, and outdated user interface as downfalls.

TripIt has a 4.8-star rating on the App Store and a 4.6-star rating on Google Play, with most users praising the convenience of the application. However, some users complained about the affordability of the Pro version and certain application glitches — opinions that were shared by users on Trustpilot.
