It’s time to say goodbye to saving places you want to go or things you want to do in other apps, then forgetting about them and never looking at them again! Insgo was created to inspire you to go do all the things and see all the places with our help in organizing where those places are and how to get there. With our four activity “Boards”, Travel, Shop, Dine, and Entertain, the possibilities of places to explore are endless. •Explore & Discover Filter your “Dream Screen” feed by “Board” to find exactly what kind of activity you are looking for Use the search bar to find a specific location or things to do in a selected area •Post Captivating Content Create your own post with up to 5 images, set the physical location, choose which board to categorize your post in, and add a “Note” for the post prompting you to list what is shown in the photos, what the price range is, if there are any rules/regulations for the location, the hours of operation, and any other details about your overall experience that you would like to share with viewers. A “Note” can also be attached to each individual photo to provide more context. Ex: A photo of food with the “Note” stating the name of the food item and how much it cost. •Plan and Manage Your Dream Trips With the “Plan A Trip” feature, you can set your departure and arrival points which will calculate a route on the map then populate which of your saved locations are located along or near your travel route. Once your saved locations populate, you can start adding them to your “Trip Itinerary” or you can search for other locations that appear along your route. You can manage your itineraries within the “Trips” page.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Insgo at 5.0 against SwissTrains's 4.1. Insgo also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 12 months). SwissTrains's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
