The best TripIt alternatives in 2026 — an honest comparison
TripIt Pro is $49 a year as of August 2026, and the useful extras sit behind it. What Wanderlog, Tripsy, AwardWallet and TripTov each do better, and who should pick which.
Full disclosure first: TripTov is our app. It is on this list, and we obviously think it earns its place — but each app here genuinely wins for a different kind of traveler, and the fastest way to the right one is to know which kind you are. Prices and features below are as of August 2026; check the product pages before deciding, because all of these ship changes constantly.
Why people go looking for a TripIt alternative
TripIt more or less invented the forward-your-confirmation-email trick, and its core still works. The reasons people look elsewhere in 2026 are consistent: the interface has aged, and the useful extras (real-time flight alerts, seat tracking, fare monitoring) sit in TripIt Pro at $49 a year as of August 2026. Its focus is organizing and monitoring: it does not read your coverage, so it will not tell you whether anything on the trip is refundable past Tuesday, whether your card’s baggage cover survived paying with miles, or whether a passport in your family expires inside the six months your destination demands.
TripTov — for the traveler who wants answers, not just a list
What it is: forward any booking confirmation — flight, hotel, car, cruise, activity — and it files itself into the right trip, with dates in the right time zone, confirmation codes, cancellation deadlines and the passengers named on the booking. Then the part nobody else does: it reads the credit cards, travel policies and health plans you keep on file and tells you what this specific trip is actually covered for — and what it is not, while there is still time to fix it.
Best for: people who travel with family, pay with points and cards, and want the app to catch the gap — no medical cover for the people going, a card benefit that never activated, a deadline about to pass quietly. Price: free. Honest limits: newer than everything else here, and its planning tools are for trips you have booked, not a map for dreaming up next summer. Try it or read how it works.
TripIt — for the traveler who wants exactly what it has always promised
Still the reference implementation of email-to-itinerary, with the largest ecosystem and years of refinement. If all you want is reservations in order on a timeline, it remains a fine answer, and the free tier still does that. The $49/year Pro tier adds the alerts; nothing at any published tier reads your coverage. If you are here because you hit its limits, the two pages linked at the end compare it to TripTov point by point.
Wanderlog — for planning the trip that isn’t booked yet
The strongest map-first planner: drag places onto days, see drive times, collaborate on a shared itinerary with friends. It is where a trip gets dreamed up. Its email import exists but is not the center of gravity, and coverage, deadlines and documents are not its questions. Plenty of travelers plan in Wanderlog and organize the resulting bookings somewhere else.
Tripsy — for the Apple household
A polished, native-feeling iPhone/iPad/Mac itinerary app with trip sharing. If your whole life is in the Apple ecosystem and you want a beautiful place to assemble trips by hand, it is the aesthetic choice. Email forwarding and several features sit in its Pro subscription, and it makes no claims about insurance, cards or entry rules.
AwardWallet — for the points balance question
The veteran tracker of loyalty balances: every airline, hotel and card program in one place, with expiry warnings, plus trip organizing bolted on via inbox connection. If your question is “where are all my points and when do they die”, this is the purpose-built answer. It is a different question from “what is this trip covered for” — the longer comparison explains why many people reasonably run both.
The one-paragraph decision
Planning a future trip on a map with friends: Wanderlog. A hand-crafted itinerary in the Apple ecosystem: Tripsy. Tracking loyalty balances across forty programs: AwardWallet. The original email-to-itinerary app: TripIt. Booked trips filed automatically, with someone finally answering whether you are covered, what is refundable until when, and whose passport is the problem: TripTov — free, and the reason this page exists.
