TripIt vs Wanderlog vs Voyaij: Which One Actually Reads Your Bookings?
Three tools that look similar on the surface do genuinely different jobs. TripIt builds your itinerary from confirmations you forward to plans@tripit.com, and can optionally connect to your inbox (Inbox Sync) to pick them up automatically. Wanderlog helps you plan a trip from a blank map before anything is booked. Voyaij does TripIt's job - without the inbox connection.

Three different jobs wearing similar UI
TripIt is built for the traveller who has already booked everything and wants it organised in one place. It builds your itinerary from confirmations you forward to plans@tripit.com, and can optionally connect to your inbox (Inbox Sync) to pick them up automatically. Live flight alerts and a few other features sit behind a $49/year Pro plan.
Wanderlog takes the opposite starting point: a map. It's a genuinely strong tool for sketching a route, dropping pins on places you're considering, and collaborating on a plan before you've booked anything. Its free tier is unusually generous - unlimited places, collaboration and some booking import - and Pro is $39.99/year.
Voyaij does TripIt's job - turning bookings you've already made into one organised itinerary - but skips the inbox connection entirely. You forward exactly the confirmation you want read to import@myvoyaij.com, one email at a time, and that's the only thing Voyaij ever sees.

TripIt vs Voyaij: the real difference
The table above covers all three tools. If you're weighing Voyaij against TripIt specifically, these are the three differences that actually change how it feels to use.
With TripIt
Inbox sync is optionalInbox sync is optional
Many people turn on Inbox Sync for convenience; the connection then stays live while it's enabled.
Live alerts, gated
Gate and delay alerts sit behind a separate $49/year Pro plan.
History stays behind
Switching away from TripIt usually means starting your trip history from zero.
With Voyaij
Forward-onlyNever connects to your inbox
You forward exactly the confirmation you want read. One email in, one booking read - that's the entire access it ever had.
Live alerts included
Gate and delay tracking comes with every paid plan, no separate add-on.
Bring your history with you
Import a TripIt export and your full trip history converts in one pass - years of it, not just what's new.
Coming from TripIt? Bring your whole history over
Voyaij reads a TripIt data export - the file TripIt's own export tool produces - and converts your full trip history into Voyaij trips in one pass. Years of past travel, not just bookings from today onward. No retyping, no starting over.
Why "never connects to your inbox" is the whole point
An inbox-connected tool is convenient because it works passively - but it also means the app can see every email in that inbox, not just your travel bookings, for as long as the connection stays live. That's a real trade-off some travellers are happy to make and others aren't.
Voyaij's forward-only model is slightly more active - you send the confirmation yourself - in exchange for a hard boundary: there is no "link your Gmail" step, ever, and a shared family inbox can't leak a surprise trip you haven't announced yet. One email in, one booking read, and that's the entire access it ever had.
Things to do on your trip
Whichever planner you land on, here are popular tours and activities you can book ahead - powered by GetYourGuide.
Forward one confirmation and see for yourself
No inbox connection to set up, no card required. Forward a booking to import@myvoyaij.com and watch it become a day-by-day itinerary.
Frequently asked questions
Is Voyaij better than TripIt?+
It depends what you need. TripIt builds your itinerary from confirmations you forward to plans@tripit.com, and can optionally connect to your inbox (Inbox Sync) to pick them up automatically. Voyaij does the same organising job - flights, hotels, trains, car hire, and tours on Starter and Pro - but only ever sees the one email you forward, never your inbox. If you want live gate and delay alerts without a separate Pro add-on, or you want to bring years of TripIt history over in one go, Voyaij is built for that.
Is Voyaij better than Wanderlog?+
They solve different problems. Wanderlog is a map-first planner for building a trip from scratch - dropping pins, sketching a route, collaborating on ideas before anything is booked. Voyaij is built for the trip you're already booking: forward a confirmation and it lands on the right day automatically. If most of your planning happens before you book, Wanderlog's map view is genuinely strong. If most of your bookings happen before your planning, Voyaij does more of the work for you.
Can I import my TripIt history into Voyaij?+
Yes. Voyaij reads a TripIt data export (the file TripIt's own GDPR/data-export tool produces) and converts your full trip history into Voyaij trips in one pass - years of past travel, not just new bookings going forward.
Does Voyaij connect to my email inbox like TripIt does?+
No, and this is the main structural difference between the two. TripIt builds your itinerary from confirmations you forward to plans@tripit.com, and can optionally connect to your inbox (Inbox Sync) to pick them up automatically. Voyaij never does - there is no "link your Gmail" step. You forward exactly the confirmations you want read to import@myvoyaij.com, one at a time, and that single email is all Voyaij ever sees.
Which one should I use: TripIt, Wanderlog or Voyaij?+
If you're planning a trip from a blank slate and want a map to sketch it on, try Wanderlog. If you've already booked everything and want it organised without connecting an app to your inbox, try Voyaij. If you're fine with an inbox connection and mainly want a booking log, TripIt does that job too. All three are worth trying against your own actual trip - a real comparison beats reading about one.
