Quick answer: TripIt Pro is the paid upgrade to the TripIt itinerary app. As of October 2026 it costs $49 a year on tripit.com, after a 30-day free trial, and $48.99 a year as an in-app purchase in the US App Store. TripIt doesn't list a monthly plan. Pro adds real-time flight alerts, check-in reminders, alternate flights, gate and baggage-claim information, fare, seat and points trackers, disruption alerts and 25 document uploads per trip instead of 3. Email forwarding and inbox sync are already free. If your company uses SAP Concur, you may get TripIt Pro at no cost.

What is TripIt Pro?

The free TripIt app organizes your plans: forward a confirmation email to plans@tripit.com, or connect your inbox, and TripIt builds one itinerary for flights, hotels, cars and other bookings.

TripIt Pro is about travel day. It watches your flights and tells you when something changes, reminds you when to check in and when to leave for the airport, guides you through terminals and connections, and tracks fares, seats and reward points in the background.

Is TripIt Pro worth it?

It's worth paying for if you fly often, make tight connections, or want one app to warn you about delays, gate changes and check-in times. The fare tracker can also pay for itself if it catches a price drop you're eligible to claim.

The free plan is enough if you take a few trips a year and mainly want your bookings in one place. Email forwarding, inbox sync, calendar sync and sharing are all free, and many airline apps already send their own delay and gate notifications.

How to get TripIt Pro free or try it first

  • Free trial: tripit.com offers 30 days of Pro before the first yearly charge.
  • SAP Concur: if your employer uses SAP Concur, connect TripIt to it and check whether you qualify for complimentary Pro.
  • Promo codes: TripIt's official pricing page doesn't list one. The trial and SAP Concur are the official ways to use Pro without paying.

How to cancel TripIt Pro

If you subscribed in the iPhone app, turn off auto-renew in your Apple ID subscription settings at least 24 hours before the renewal date. On Android, use Google Play subscriptions. If you subscribed on tripit.com, follow TripIt's help center instructions for your account.

Choose TripCache if

  • You hold refundable hotels, rental cars, tours or tickets and want a reminder before free cancellation ends. That's free in TripCache. See how cancellation reminders work.
