Lambus vs TripIt

Lambus is a travel planner that keeps trip stops, expenses, tickets, photos, and other details together for individual or group trips. Travelers can plan on an interactive map, add stops collaboratively in real time, and include transport, attractions, restaurants, tours, and notes. It can surface offers through partners such as GetYourGuide and Omio, import booking documents, and split group costs. PRO adds offline trip access, itinerary calendar sync, PDF and expense exports, Google Maps place search, automatic currency conversion, and real-time flight updates. The maker describes PRO storage for photos, travel bookings, and PDF files as unlimited. Private documents such as passports or driver's licenses can be stored on the device and secured with biometrics. Its AI Connector works with ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for itinerary and trip-management tasks, though availability and plan support may change as those assistants roll out MCP features. Lambus is available on web, Android, and iOS. The basic platform is free, and the pricing note lists paid plans from €11.97/mo and a 30-day trial.

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.
