Smooth Traveling vs TripIt
Choosing a travel planning tool depends on how you travel. This snapshot shows the job each product is best known for and where Smooth Traveling brings the journey together differently.
TripIt
Travel organizer
Known for: Excellent at consolidating bookings.
Smooth Traveling
Complete journey workspace
Smooth Traveling starts earlier in the journey: designing the trip across transport, stays, activities, partner searches, and costs—not only organizing booked travel. Afterward, the Journal turns it into a keepsake.
Price and billing flexibility
TripIt lists Pro at $49/year, including flight alerts and travel reminders. Smooth Traveling Pro costs more: $14/month or $120/year. Choose it for designing multi-modal routes, shared multi-currency budgets, and a post-trip keepsake—not as a like-for-like flight-alert service.

Before you go
Search without losing the plan
Search flights on Skyscanner, Kiwi.com, or Booking.com, find activities on Viator, and look for restaurant tables on OpenTable, TheFork.com, or Eatigo.com—then save the booking details and cost beside the itinerary item.
After you return
Finish with something worth keeping
Mark the trip Visited, add a highlight and personal note, choose photos, comments, and final spending, then export the Journal as a polished PDF keepsake.
