PLAN YOUR DAYS WITH SMART ROUTES See estimated travel times and distances between activities, with routes that fit your schedule. Set arrival buffers for flights and other plans, and see when your schedule leaves too little travel time. Your transportation choices stay saved and sync across your devices. BUILD ROUTES WITH MULTIPLE STOPS Add and reorder stops, choose how to travel on each leg, and see estimated arrival times along the way. View your route on the map and open directions in your preferred navigation app. Save frequently used addresses, such as home, work, or a favorite hotel, to use in future plans. SMART IMPORT Turn screenshots, documents, pasted text, Google Maps and Apple Maps lists, and supported web or social links into places and reservations. Review and edit before importing. Smart Import uses online processing and requires Tripsy Pro on supported system versions. You can also forward booking emails or import travel plans from TripIt.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Guided at 100% against Tripsy's 59%. Guided also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18). Tripsy's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
