Best TripIt Alternatives in 2026: Email Import, Documents, Reminders, and Expenses

Quick answer: TripIt is still the most established way to forward confirmation emails into an itinerary, and that forwarding is free. Look elsewhere when you need something TripIt doesn't focus on: TripCache for free cancellation-deadline reminders, a locked document vault and expense exports; Tripsy for a polished Apple-only itinerary; Wanderlog for planning places with friends; Flighty for flight detail; or TravelPerk and Navan when a company manages travel.

Best TripIt alternative by use case

What TripIt does well (and what it costs)

TripIt made email forwarding mainstream: send a confirmation to plans@tripit.com and it becomes part of a master itinerary. Its official how it works page still describes that workflow.

TripIt's free plan includes email forwarding, inbox sync, calendar sync, plan sharing, airport and terminal maps, travel stats and 3 document uploads per trip. TripIt Pro costs $49 a year after a 30-day free trial and adds real-time flight alerts, check-in reminders, alternate flights, fare and seat trackers, points tracking and 25 documents per trip.

That makes TripIt hard to beat if free email import is what you need. The reasons people look for a TripIt alternative are usually different:

• They want a reminder before a hotel or rental car stops being free to cancel.
• They keep passports, visas and tickets on their phone and want them locked and organized.
• They need trip expenses in more than one currency, or an export for reimbursement or a visa application.
• They prefer an app designed for planning places, or one that goes deeper on flights.

What to look for in a TripIt alternative

• Email import: can you forward confirmations, and is it free or paid?
• Booking coverage: flights only, or also hotels, cars, trains, events, restaurants, parking and custom items?
• Documents: can you keep passports, visas, boarding passes and tickets with the trip, and lock them?
• Cancellation deadlines: can you save a refundable booking's cutoff and get reminded before it passes?
• Expenses: can you track costs in different currencies and export them?
• Offline access: do your trips and files open without a signal?
• Platforms: is there a native Android app, or only iPhone?
• Privacy: does the workflow let you forward specific emails instead of granting access to your whole inbox?

Where travelers need more than an itinerary

Hotels and stays come with cancellation windows, deposits and check-in rules that belong with the stay, not buried in email. Rental cars add pickup times, return locations and their own cancellation terms. Tickets, tours and restaurants often have QR codes and refund rules that are easy to miss. Documents such as passports, visas, boarding passes and insurance should be one tap away at the airport. And cancellation deadlines decide whether a change of plans costs nothing or the full price.

A timeline that shows the booking date but not the free-cancellation cutoff leaves the most expensive detail out. That gap is why TripCache exists.

1. TripCache: best for deadlines, documents and expenses

TripCache is built for the work after you book. Most of it is free on the Basic plan:

• Trips with flights, hotels, rental cars, trains, buses, parking, events, restaurants, tours, meetings and notes.
• Cancellation-deadline reminders at 7 days, 2 days, 1 day or on the day a refundable booking's free cancellation ends. The free hotel cancellation deadline calculator works out the cutoff for you.
• Check-in reminders 48 hours and 24 hours before departure, with a shortcut that copies your booking reference and opens the airline's website.
• Boarding-pass scanning that adds or updates a flight from the barcode.
• A document vault sorted into tickets, boarding passes, passport, visa, insurance and hotel, with an optional PIN and Face ID or fingerprint unlock. Read the travel document app guide for how it works.
• Expenses in 153 currencies, each with its exchange rate locked when you add it, plus budgets by category.
• CSV and PDF export of travel history, expenses or a visa and immigration summary.
• CSV import of past flights, and offline access to trips and cached documents.

Pro ($5.99 a month, or $49.99 a year on Google Play and $50.00 on the App Store) adds forwarding confirmation emails, including attached PDFs and screenshots, to your own TripCache address, with a monthly import allowance; live flight-status alerts on supported flights for delays, gates and baggage belts; and Live Activities and widgets on iPhone, with an ongoing notification and widget on Android. Receipts are saved as trip documents; they aren't attached to individual expenses.

Main tradeoff: email import is free in TripIt but Pro-only in TripCache. TripCache is also a newer app with a much shorter track record.

Best for: travelers with refundable bookings, frequent and business travelers who need expense records, and anyone who wants documents locked inside the trip. Get it on the App Store or Google Play.

2. Tripsy: best for Apple users

Tripsy is a polished itinerary app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. You can forward booking emails, keep documents, notes and links with each trip, see your calendars beside the itinerary, and track expenses in several currencies. It can import trips from TripIt. Tripsy is free to download; some features, including its Smart Import, need Tripsy Pro (annual plans from $39.99 in the US App Store). Check the Tripsy website for the current plans.

Main tradeoff: there is no native Android app yet. Android users can view itineraries in a browser but can't create or edit trips there.

Best for: households where everyone uses Apple devices.

3. Wanderlog: best for planning places together

Wanderlog combines an itinerary with a map, recommendations, budgets and real-time collaboration, so it shines while a trip is still being planned. The Wanderlog Pro page lists offline access, route optimization, Google Maps export, automatic Gmail scanning and unlimited attachments as paid features, from $39.99 a year.

Main tradeoff: it is planning-first. Booking deadlines, document storage and expense exports are not its focus.

Best for: leisure trips planned with friends or family.

4. Flighty: best for flight detail

Flighty concentrates on flights: live status, early delay alerts, airport delay trends and a detailed flight history. Flight tracking is free, and Flighty Pro costs $59.99 a year. It can import flights from email or TripIt on Pro.

Main tradeoff: it doesn't organize hotels, cars or other bookings, and it runs only on Apple devices.

Best for: frequent flyers who want flight data and are happy to keep a separate itinerary app.

5. Google: best for Gmail users who want the basics

If your bookings arrive in Gmail, Google can surface reservations in Search and Maps when you're signed in, and Google Flights and Hotels handle searching and price tracking. Current features are documented in Google Travel Help.

Main tradeoff: there is no dedicated itinerary app, document storage, cancellation-deadline reminder or expense export.

Best for: occasional travelers who only need to see what's booked.

6. TravelPerk and Navan: best for company-managed travel

TravelPerk and Navan are business travel and expense platforms: booking, approvals, travel policy, support and company spend reporting.

Main tradeoff: they are built for companies, not for one traveler organizing their own trips.

Best for: companies with enough travel to run a managed program.

TripIt alternatives compared

"Not listed" means the feature isn't on the app's official plans or pricing page as of October 5, 2026. TripIt's pricing page doesn't list reminders tied to a booking's free-cancellation deadline either. In TripCache they are part of the free Basic plan.

Which TripIt alternative should you choose?

• Business travelers: TripCache if you organize your own trips and need expense exports; TravelPerk or Navan if your company manages travel.
• Families: Wanderlog while you plan, then an itinerary app such as TripCache or Tripsy once things are booked.
• Digital nomads: TripCache, for documents, travel history exports for visa applications, and multi-currency expenses.
• Android users: TripCache, Wanderlog or TripIt, since Tripsy and Flighty are Apple-only.
• Former TripCase users: read what to use now that TripCase is gone.

How to switch from TripIt

1. Start with upcoming trips. Old trips can wait unless you need them for expenses or a visa application.
2. Forward active confirmations to the new app, or add them by hand.
3. Fill in hotels, rental cars, tickets and activities that came through incomplete.
4. Add the documents you need, such as passports, visas, tickets and insurance.
5. Set cancellation deadlines for every refundable booking.
6. Add expenses as you go if you need reimbursement records.
7. Keep TripIt for one trip while you test the new app, and only cancel a paid plan once you're sure.

Bottom line

The best TripIt alternative is the one that covers the job TripIt leaves to you. For free email forwarding, TripIt itself is hard to beat. For planning with friends, use Wanderlog. For flight detail, use Flighty. For company travel, use TravelPerk or Navan. If you want reminders before refundable bookings lock in, documents you can open offline behind a PIN, and expenses you can export, try TripCache. Compare Basic and Pro to see what's free.
