Where TripIt Shines

Automatic booking import

Forward your confirmation emails and TripIt builds your itinerary automatically. Flights, hotels, car rentals — organized in one timeline.

Flight and airport alerts

TripIt Pro sends gate changes, delay notifications, and alternative flight suggestions. Useful for frequent flyers who need real-time updates.

Mobile app with offline access

TripIt offers a native mobile app with offline access to your itinerary, which can be useful when traveling internationally without data.

Where WePlanify Wins

1

Real group collaboration

Everyone in the group can add destinations, suggest activities, and edit the itinerary in real time. TripIt only lets you share a read-only view.

2

Polls and voting

Can not decide between Barcelona and Lisbon? Create a poll and let the group vote. TripIt has no voting feature.

3

Shared budget tracker

Track group expenses, split costs, and keep everyone on the same page financially. TripIt does not track budgets.

4

Activity discovery

Browse and add activities, restaurants, and experiences directly inside WePlanify. TripIt focuses on logistics, not discovery.

5

Free and bilingual

WePlanify is completely free and available in both English and French. TripIt charges $49/year for its most useful features.

Who Should Choose Which?

TripIt

Choose TripIt if you are a solo business traveler who wants to automatically organize flight confirmations, get gate-change alerts, and keep a personal itinerary with offline access.

WePlanify

Choose WePlanify if you are planning a trip with friends or family and need everyone to collaborate on the itinerary, vote on destinations, and track shared expenses — all for free.
