Your whole trip, in one place. UniTrip brings your plans, memories, expenses and travel essentials together, from the first idea to the journey home. Spend less time searching through notes and more time enjoying your trip. PLAN AT YOUR OWN PACE Keep places you are considering separate from confirmed plans. Organize flights, stays, meals and activities by date, category or calendar. Start collecting ideas even before you have chosen your travel dates. CAPTURE THE LITTLE MOMENTS Save photos, notes and expenses together. Turn your iPhone sideways on the trip list to start a camera-first entry. Find photos from your iPhone that match your travel dates, collect favorites and revisit the moments you want to remember. MAKE SENSE OF TRAVEL SPENDING See amounts in both local and home currencies, with automatic or manually entered exchange rates. On group trips, track shared costs, money paid on someone else's behalf and a shared wallet. See who owes whom and record repayments. UniTrip tracks settlements; it does not transfer money. KEEP YOUR ESSENTIALS CLOSE Stay organized with to-dos, reminders and packing lists. Save PDFs and images for flights, bookings and other travel documents alongside the trip they belong to. SHARE THE PLANS, TAKE A TRAVEL BOOK Invite your travel companions to share itineraries and preparation details, or share a read-only view with someone following your journey. Turn your itinerary and documents into a Travel Book PDF to keep on your phone or print for the road. READY FOR TIME OFFLINE View saved plans, add records, and search bundled country, city and airport data offline. An internet connection is needed for shared-trip sync, exchange-rate updates, map display, purchases/restoration and downloading photos stored in iCloud. START FOR FREE Keep up to three of your own trips for free, including archived trips. Delete a trip to make room for another. Trips shared with you do not count toward the limit. A one-time in-app purchase removes the trip limit. Available in English and Japanese. Requires iPhone with iOS 18 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RYDE PASS at none against UniTrip's 1. RYDE PASS also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). UniTrip's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
