NomadPoint vs Tripsy: What's Free and What Costs Extra

Tripsy Pro plans checked 11 September 2026. NomadPoint plans updated 18 October 2026.

Tripsy is one of the best-made iPhone apps in travel. The interface is careful, it looks right on an Apple Watch, and it is very good at gathering every booking for a trip into one itinerary. If you are planning two weeks in Japan, it will serve you well.

The biggest difference between the two is what you get without paying.

What Tripsy charges for

Tripsy is free to download with unlimited trips. Its own pricing page lists these as Tripsy Pro features (tripsy.app/pro):

• Importing bookings by forwarding confirmation emails
• Flight alerts for gate changes, delays and baggage
• Documents (its help centre: "Adding and managing documents requires an active subscription")
• The 10-day weather forecast and time-zone changes
• Travel stats, CSV export and the TripIt importer
• Expenses in multiple currencies

Tripsy Pro costs $59 a year or $299 lifetime, and one purchase covers your family.

What NomadPoint gives you free

• Forwarding booking emails to build the trip
• Importing trips from Tripsy, TripIt or Flighty
• Storing your passport, visas, insurance and boarding passes
• Visa and entry requirements for your passport, per destination
• Schengen 90/180 day counting across the whole area
• Passport validity checks against each destination's rule

The last three are not in Tripsy on any plan. Tripsy's help centre suggests saving visa details as a note, which records the visa but does not work out how many days you have left.

NomadPoint Pro is $29.99 a year in the US (lower in most other countries). It adds two things: flight delay, gate and cancellation alerts with the travel-day Live Activity on the lock screen, and alerts before a visa or allowance runs out. Flight alerts are Pro in both apps, at $29.99 a year here against $59 for Tripsy Pro. Documents, a second passport, the AI day planner, an offline itinerary, and weather and time-zone shifts on the itinerary are all free in NomadPoint.

Side by side

Moving from Tripsy

In Tripsy, open Settings, then Data and Storage, then Export All Data. In NomadPoint, go to Settings, then Import Data, and choose that file. Flights, stays and activities come across, and it costs nothing.

Which to use

Two weeks somewhere, a return flight booked: Tripsy is a lovely choice, especially if you are happy to pay for Pro.

Several countries back to back, or any trip where you need to count days: NomadPoint. The Schengen rule counts 90 days in any 180 across the whole area, not per country, and it is easy to get wrong by hand. Tripsy does not track it.
