Roamie vs TripIt
Last reviewed October 2026
TripIt builds an itinerary from booking emails you forward to it. Roamie reads the tickets and confirmations you upload — PDFs, photos or screenshots — and builds the itinerary plus an expense ledger with group split balances and a travel document vault, so one app covers plans, spending and documents.

Where Roamie is different
- Works from the documents you already have — a boarding-pass screenshot or a PDF ticket — not only emails.
- Expenses, budgets and group split balances live in the same trip as the itinerary.
- A document vault keeps passports, visas and insurance with the trip, and Pro warns you before they expire.
When TripIt is the better choice
- You travel mostly for business and your company already uses SAP Concur, which TripIt belongs to.
- You want a long-established app with years of travel history already stored in it.
- Forwarding every confirmation email to one address is the workflow you prefer.
Switching from TripIt
- Create a free Roamie account on the web at roamietravel.com.
- Upload the confirmations for your next trip — the same PDFs or emails you would have forwarded, saved as PDF or screenshot.
- Check the timeline Roamie builds, then invite your travel companions.
Questions
Is Roamie a good TripIt alternative?
Yes, if you want more than an itinerary. Roamie builds the itinerary from uploaded tickets and adds trip budgets, group expense splitting and a travel document vault in the same app. If you only need email-based itineraries for business travel, TripIt remains a strong choice.
Can Roamie import my bookings like TripIt does?
Roamie imports bookings from the documents themselves: upload flight e-tickets, boarding passes, hotel and activity confirmations as PDFs, photos or screenshots, and its AI extracts flights, dates and confirmation numbers into a day-by-day timeline.
Does Roamie have live flight alerts like TripIt Pro?
Yes. Roamie Pro includes live flight status, gate and delay alerts, a countdown to every departure and destination weather. Pro costs $7.99/month or $39.99/year with a 7-day free trial.
