TripIt Pro cost: TripIt Pro price, what TripIt costs and is TripIt free in 2026

How much does TripIt Pro cost?

TripIt Pro costs $49 per year. That figure appears twice on tripit.com, once on the Pro page as "for just $49/year" and again on the pricing page as "$49 PER YEAR" in the plan column, and it was read there in September 2026 in the US view. There is no monthly option. It is a single annual charge that renews on its own until you turn renewal off.

Before the charge there is a 30 day free trial. TripIt words it as "Start your free 30-day trial now, then it is just $49 for a year of helpful reminders, alerts, and travel perks." The trial requires a payment method, and this is where the cost stops being simple, which the section further down covers in full.

Divided out, $49 a year is $4.08 a month. TripIt frames it on its own pricing page as "about the price of checking your bags," which is a fair comparison and also a useful hint at who the product is for: someone who checks bags often enough for that to be a familiar number.

A promotional banner offering 40 percent off TripIt Pro was running across tripit.com when this page was written. Promotional pricing moves, so treat $49 as the list price and check for a discount at the moment you subscribe rather than budgeting on a promo that may not be there.

Is TripIt free?

Yes. The standard TripIt tier costs nothing and it is not a trial, it is a permanently free plan sitting alongside the paid one on the same pricing page. You sign up, forward confirmation emails to [email protected], and TripIt builds an itinerary from them.

The free tier is more capable than most people assume, which matters because it changes what the $49 is actually buying. Free TripIt organizes your travel plans, creates a full itinerary, works across devices, pulls plans from your inbox for you, syncs with your calendar, stores travel information, shares plans with others, shows transportation options, finds places near your hotel, displays neighborhood safety scores, includes airport and terminal maps, lets you rate an in flight experience, checks eligibility for flight compensation, tracks a carbon footprint with offset options, tallies your travel stats, and allows 3 document uploads per trip.

So if what you wanted was one clean itinerary assembled automatically out of scattered confirmation emails, the free tier already does that and the $49 adds nothing to it. The paid tier is a separate proposition, and it is about the travel day rather than the filing.

What is the difference between TripIt and TripIt Pro?

TripIt Pro is everything in the free tier plus 16 features, and the honest summary is that all 16 are about monitoring a trip that already exists. Here they are as TripIt lists them: real time flight alerts, fare refund monitoring, help finding a better seat, alternate flight search, check in reminders, a "Go Now" prompt telling you when to leave for the airport, terminal and gate reminders, airport navigation, connecting gate guidance, baggage claim location, country specific travel information, automatic plan sharing with a chosen group, trip disruption risk alerts, reward program tracking, 25 document uploads per trip instead of 3, and passport renewal reminders.

Read that list in order and the shape is unmistakable. Seat Tracker needs a seat you have booked. Fare Tracker needs a fare you have paid. Go Now needs a departure time that exists. TripIt says as much itself in the first line of its own FAQ: "You handle the booking, we will take it from there."

That is not a criticism of the product, it is a description of the category. TripIt is an itinerary organizer with a travel day alert layer bolted on, and it is a good one. It is worth being clear about it before you pay, because a lot of people arrive at TripIt searching for a trip planner and leave with a very capable filing cabinet.

Is TripIt Pro worth it?

It depends almost entirely on how often you fly, and the arithmetic is simple enough to do in your head. At $49 a year, one caught gate change, one fare drop refund, or one alternate flight found before the desk queue forms covers the whole subscription. If you fly most weeks, that happens within the first month or two and the rest of the year is free upside.

Invert the frequency and the answer inverts with it. Two leisure trips a year means Pro is dormant for roughly 50 weeks, and the free tier is already doing the itinerary assembly during that time. The features that would justify the price simply do not get a chance to fire.

There is a middle case worth naming because it is common among small business travelers: four to eight trips a year, mostly domestic, usually booked directly. At that frequency the flight alerts are genuinely useful a couple of times a year, and $49 is a defensible line item. What it will not do at that frequency is save you the part of the trip that actually consumes your time, which is deciding and pricing it in the first place.

Can you get a refund on TripIt Pro?

No, and TripIt is unusually direct about it. Its billing help article states: "Subscription costs already charged to your credit card are non-refundable. This includes charges that were made due to not canceling your free trial prior to the end of the trial period and for annual renewals of non-cancelled subscriptions."

Read the middle clause again, because it is the sentence that costs people $49. The 30 day free trial converts into a full year charge, and TripIt states in advance that forgetting to cancel is not a refundable mistake. The same applies to an annual renewal you meant to stop. This is normal enough for consumer subscriptions, but it is rarely written this plainly, and almost never repeated by the review articles that recommend starting the trial.

The practical protection is a calendar entry, not a policy. Put a reminder at day 25 of the trial, and a second one eleven months after any charge you do let through. If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, cancellation happens in your platform subscription settings rather than on tripit.com, and TripIt requires auto renewal to be turned off at least 24 hours before the term ends. The same annual auto renewing shape, with a slightly kinder 3 day refund window, applies to the other travel app road trippers tend to pay for, covered on the Roadtrippers pricing page.

Who owns TripIt?

TripIt is owned by Concur Technologies, which is part of SAP. The copyright line at the bottom of every page on tripit.com reads "2006-2026, Concur Technologies, Inc." and both TripIt and Concur are registered trademarks of that entity. The site carries a "Do you use SAP Concur?" prompt in its main navigation.

This matters for a business traveler in one specific way. If your employer already runs SAP Concur, TripIt is inside the same corporate family and there may be a company arrangement that covers Pro, so it is worth asking before you expense $49 yourself. Our breakdown of what the parent platform costs is on the page covering how much Concur costs, and the travel side gap that pushes people to look elsewhere is covered on the Concur alternative page.

It also explains the product direction. TripIt is a consumer front end feeding an enterprise expense business, which is why its roadmap is all about capturing and monitoring bookings rather than making them or planning them.

What TripIt Pro does not do, and what that costs you

Nothing in the $49 decides anything. It will not tell you whether Tuesday to Thursday beats Wednesday to Friday for the meetings you are flying out for. It will not sequence three cities in a sensible order. It will not price the trip before you commit, or tell you the hotel you picked puts you 40 minutes from every appointment. Those decisions are still yours, and for most business travelers they are the expensive part.

That is the gap TripAgent.ai fills, and it is worth stating the boundary honestly: TripAgent.ai does not replace TripIt on travel day. It has no gate alerts, no baggage claim locator and no airport walking directions. It works on the other side of the booking, drafting the day by day plan, sequencing it against your dates and budget, pricing every line, and rebuilding any day you ask it to. Plenty of people would sensibly run both, using the free TripIt tier to file the confirmations afterwards.

If you are weighing this specifically because TripIt did not do what you hoped, the TripIt alternative page works through that comparison in detail. If the trip in question is for work, the business travel planner page covers the same job with expense and approval context attached, and personalized travel itinerary covers it for personal trips.
