TripIt is a travel management app offered by Concur, which allows users to organize and coordinate travel plans. Editions include a free version, TripIt Pro, and TripIt for Teams.
I was assigned to fly from Amsterdam to Silicon Valley as a young professional to present our idea to a huge international corporation. A budget for two nights' lodging and flights as specified in the invitation. I was 24, and this was my first trip to the West Coast, so I knew I wanted to stay longer than two days. I began looking for cheap hotels in order to fit five nights into the budget. I booked something cheap and was looking forward to my trip despite knowing nothing about San Francisco and having done no homework. I grabbed an Uber from the airport when I arrived. When I told the driver where I wanted to go: Tenderloin, he gave me an odd look. This makes Rockettrip less appropriate.
TripIt is great for anyone who has multiple trips at any given time. It is also very good at tracking multiple reservations automatically on individual trips. It's not appropriate for low volume trips or only short trips. It is also good for sharing itineraries with others. It's not good for calendar views.
Itinerary Management - TripIt does a great job collecting all of your travel information, including your flight and hotel information all in one location, so that you don't have to deal with multiple vendor apps, emails, or even printouts of that info. It also handles multiple upcoming trips for even easier management and organization
Notifications - TripIt notifies you of changes to your itinerary, such as delays or gate changes, which is great to have that information pushed to you rather than having to constantly look at flight boards for updates.
Apple Watch integration - As an Apple Watch user, TripIt has gone the extra mile to provide a useful watch app for travelers, making your travel information available on your wrist. This makes it even easier to catch changes to your itinerary, and not have to juggle a phone while you already have a passport and luggage to worry about!
Receipts can be auto-uploaded. Sounds great on paper, but sometimes it can misread the numbers, and then you have to manually enter the data anyway. So that can definitely be improved with time.
Points that you earn can go to waste if you don’t earn enough of them in a certain amount of time.
If there's a change in travel plans, it can lead to a lot of hurdles.
pages load fast, notifications are great. up to minute. after deboarding- my next steps are displayed. Syncs with the hotel & frequent flyer rewards programs too.
I have never called their support. That is a great question especially when rolling out into a medium to large organization. Concur is a well-respected company, so I can only suppose their Support is reasonable. I have not experienced their support.
Works Recipe scanning is simple. It allows you to easily track and manage your expenses. Automatic debit collection. Tax calculation and information are simple. Support for mobile applications. Expensify is a highly automated expense calculator that detects and computes all expenses stored in the system. There is no need to add a single transaction. It also allows you to edit data if you discover an incorrect transaction. Overall it was a great experience with Expensify but create glitches.
TripIt is designed specifically to help individuals manage their travel info in one place. Before I used TripIt, I had to manually save my travel info in a Google Drive folder, add flights to my personal calendar, then manage multiple airline apps to get flight alerts. TripIt has made my travel much easier.
