Tripsy is excellent — if you live entirely inside Apple. Travel Sane works anywhere, for $25 once.
Tripsy is one of the nicest trip organizers out there. Forward a confirmation to my@tripsy.app and it builds a clean itinerary, with beautiful iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch apps. If you're all-in on Apple and happy with a subscription, it's a genuinely good choice and we won't pretend otherwise.
Two things send people looking for an alternative: Tripsy is Apple-only (no full Android app as of 2026 — it's waitlisted — and the web version is view-only), and it's a ~$59/year subscription. Travel Sane does the same core job — one itinerary from any confirmation — on the open web from any device, and it's $25 once.
Where Tripsy is better
Let's be fair, because it's true.
A polished native experience.Real iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch apps with widgets, Siri Shortcuts, Lock Screen complications, and offline access. Travel Sane is a webapp — it runs great on a phone, but there's no native app.
Deep Apple integrations.Apple Maps deep links, calendar sync, the whole ecosystem. If that's your world, Tripsy fits it beautifully. If you're on iPhone and Mac, want a native app, and a subscription doesn't bother you, Tripsy is a fine pick. We mean that.
Where Travel Sane is better
It works on any device.Android, Windows, a borrowed laptop, a browser — Travel Sane is on the web, so there's no platform you're locked out of. Tripsy can't edit a trip outside Apple.
It reads the messy stuff. Travel Sane parses each confirmation with a language model rather than known templates, so Agoda, Trip.com, regional rail, direct hotel emails, and non-English confirmations come through where template parsers stumble.
Share and download without a subscription. Every trip has a private view-only link anyone can open, and a clean PDF download. Your trips stay saved as a travel history.
Pay once.$25, one time — versus $59 every year. Over three years that's $25 vs $177.

Which one to use
Use Tripsy if you're all-Apple, want a polished native app with widgets and Watch support, and don't mind a yearly subscription. Use Travel Sane if you need it to work on any device, want the messier and non-English confirmations to actually parse, and would rather pay $25 once than $59 a year. If you have an Android phone in the house, Travel Sane is the clearer answer.
