IPplan vs TripIt

IPplan is a free, self-hosted web application for administering and tracking IP address space. It can manage one or multiple networks and customer records, including overlapping address space. Administrators can find free ranges, split or join networks, search records, review statistics and keep an audit log of contents before and after changes. Network definitions can be imported from routing tables, tab-delimited files or NMAP XML. For DNS, IPplan supports forward and reverse zones, zone-transfer imports and XML exports. Group-based profiles let administrators set address-space boundaries, including read-only access. Authentication can use IPplan’s internal scheme or an external Apache module, including LDAP-based schemes and SiteMinder. Templates can add custom circuit, host-configuration and asset fields, while triggers can call user-defined functions on events. An external poller can scan subnets for active addresses, and configured SNMP support can read router routing tables. Deployment requires a web server, PHP and a database; documented database options include MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. The documentation prefers Apache and notes some workarounds may be needed with databases other than MySQL.

TripIt turns forwarded travel confirmation emails into organized itineraries. It supports flights, hotels, rental cars, trains, airport shuttles, cruises, travel-agency bookings, and event reservations. Users can forward confirmations to [email protected] or enable Inbox Sync, while bookings made through SAP Concur can sync automatically. The service supports confirmation emails from thousands of suppliers in English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. Itineraries are available offline in the app; the Mac app also supports offline access on Macs with an Apple M1 chip or later. TripIt runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and the web. The free plan allows three document uploads per trip. TripIt Pro costs $49 per year, allows 25 uploads per trip, and has a 30-day trial listed. Pro adds real-time flight alerts for delays, cancellations, connections, gate changes, and baggage information, plus alternate-flight rebooking options and interactive maps for 103 airports. TripIt encrypts sensitive personal information on mobile devices and restricts access by passcode. It does not offer phone support and aims to respond to billing tickets within one business day.
