TripIt alternative
A TripIt alternative that handles the money too.
TripIt made forwarding a confirmation email the easiest way to build an itinerary. Gate36 does that — and connects it to your budget, your travel group, your documents, and a map of everywhere you've been.
What TripIt does well
TripIt earned its reputation on one great idea: forward a booking confirmation and it becomes part of an organized itinerary. That email-to-itinerary flow removed a lot of copy-pasting for a lot of travelers, and its paid Pro tier built further on that foundation. If you're comparing alternatives, that's the bar to clear.
Gate36 covers the same ground
Forward a flight, hotel, train, or tour confirmation to Gate36 and it gets parsed into a clean booking card and dropped onto the right day of your itinerary — no confirmation numbers to retype. Your plan stays current as bookings come in, the same habit you already have.
Then it adds the money side
A trip isn't just a schedule — it's a budget. Gate36 tracks spending in the local currency and shows it in your home currency, rolls planned spend up per day, and splits shared costs with your travel companions. Personal expenses stay off the group's books, and at the end everyone settles up with the fewest transfers.
An AI head start and a map of your world
Before the bookings exist, Gate36 can draft the plan: give it a destination, dates, a budget, and a travel style and it lays out an editable day-by-day starter itinerary. Every trip also plots onto a travel map, so your routes and destinations build into a picture of where you've been.
Documents, companions, and memories
Scan or upload boarding passes, receipts, and confirmations and they attach to the trip they belong to, so nothing lives only in a camera roll. Invite companions to suggest and vote on places while you plan, and after you're home, your photos, notes, and places become a private memory book — the trip doesn't end when the itinerary does.
When TripIt might still fit you better
If you fly weekly for work and mainly need forwarded confirmations turned into a tidy schedule, a dedicated itinerary organizer built around that workflow may be all you want. Gate36 is built for trips you plan, share, and pay for — leisure and group travel where the itinerary, the budget, and the people are one problem, not three.
One connected app, free to start
Gate36 replaces the plan organizer, the budget spreadsheet, and the bill-splitting app with one place that stays in sync.
