Visby vs TripIt
Visby vs TripIt: which trip planner should you use?
Pick Visby when the trip is still being decided: where to stay, what to do, which days go where, with friends voting and an AI drafting the plan.
Pick TripIt when everything is already booked and you want one itinerary built from your confirmation emails, with real-time flight alerts.

Where TripIt is strong
TripIt is the most mature tool for turning confirmation emails into an itinerary automatically, and TripIt Pro’s flight alerts are among the best.
It is built to organize trips that are already booked, not to decide or plan together: there is no idea board, voting or expense splitting.
Where Visby is different
- Everyone plans, not just the organizer. Friends join from one link in their browser, add ideas and rank stays, food and activities.
- The plan fits the group. Each person shares their tastes, pace and budget, and Ask Visby drafts the day-by-day itinerary around all of them.
- One board for the whole trip. The map of every day, travel time between cities, shared costs and a recap to share afterwards live in the same place.
