Soar vs TripIt
TripIt has been organizing itineraries since 2006 and it's good at it. But it's a filing cabinet: you send it trips, it keeps them tidy. Soar reads your inbox itself, and instead of waiting for you to check the app, it texts you when something needs doing.
| Soar | TripIt | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting trips in | Automatic from Gmail | Forward emails, or inbox sync on the paid Pro tier |
| Reaches out first | Texts you: check-in done, gate moved, leave now | Push alerts on Pro |
| Books travel | Hotels in-app with Apple Pay | No |
| Talks back | Text it anything about your trips | No |
| Auto check-in | Yes, by text | No |
| Platforms | iPhone | iOS, Android, web |
| Price | Free | Free tier; Pro is paid annually |
Where TripIt wins
Android and web, and the SAP Concur tie-in if your company runs on it.
Where Soar wins
Everywhere the work should happen for you. Trips appear on their own, flights get watched, check-in gets done, and when something changes mid-trip you find out by text, not by opening an app to check.
