Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Tripsy at 5.7K against TripIdea's 3. Tripsy also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#22 vs unranked). TripIdea's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Tripsy sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and TripIdea sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TripIdea holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tripsy has 5.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Tripsy's written reviews are positive against 50% of TripIdea's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tripsy ships an update every 4 days, TripIdea every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
