Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tripsource at none against TripIt's 1. Tripsource also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.3). TripIt's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 39%) and ratings volume (311K vs 13K). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
