PackKit
Read full descriptionHide full description
PackKit is a packing app for iPhone. You build a personal catalog of your gear, create trips, and check items off as you pack your bags. Everything is visible so you never forget important items again. Your inventory: Add everything you'd pack once: clothing, electronics, toiletries, documents, bags. When you update an item's details, every trip that includes it updates too. Build it out over time and it becomes your master packing reference. Trips: Create a trip with a name, destination, and dates. Add items from your inventory, drop them into containers (suitcase, backpack, packing cube), and arrange them the way you actually pack. Drag to reorder. Nest containers inside each other. Anything not in a bag sits in an Unassigned section at the bottom so you know what needs sorted out. Packing: The Pack tab shows your active trip as a checklist. Tap to check items off. Haptic feedback fires on every tap. A progress bar tracks how far along you are. Get to 100% and PackKit throws you a little celebration. Reminders: Set a due date on a trip and you get a push notification when it's time to start packing. PackKit also sends two reminders in the days before you leave to keep you on track. Templates: Really happy with your list for this trip? Save it as a template. Next time you travel the same way, start from that list instead of rebuilding it. Pro: A Pro subscription adds item weight tracking with color-coded per-bag indicators, configurable checked and carry-on weight limits, the ability to share a read-only trip link with friends and family, exporting your list to PDF, unlimited trips and templates, and a home screen widget that shows live packing progress. Avoid weight overage fees and keep loved ones in the loop with pro features! Terms of Use: https://packkit.me/terms Privacy Policy: https://packkit.me/privacy

AutoTrips — Automatic Trip & Mileage Logging AutoTrips records your trips automatically so you never have to remember to hit "start." Whether you're tracking mileage for work, taxes, or expenses, AutoTrips captures every drive with an accurate GPS route, distance, and timing — hands-free. AUTOMATIC RECORDING Set it up once and forget it. Using an iOS Shortcuts automation, AutoTrips starts the moment your car connects — CarPlay or Bluetooth — and stops when you disconnect. It works even if the app is force-quit, recording silently in the background. The built-in Setup Guide walks you through it in under a minute. CARPLAY READY Start, stop, and label trips right from your car's display. Assign the car and label for the trip you're on without touching your phone. SMART LABELS Trips label themselves. AutoTrips recognizes your routes by location and your saved markers — so Home, Work, and your regular stops are sorted automatically. You can always override a label by hand, and your choice always wins. MARKERS & PLACES Drop markers on the places that matter. AutoTrips notes every time a trip passes through them, with timestamps — perfect for client sites, job locations, or frequent destinations like toll booths. CARS & VEHICLES Track multiple vehicles with license plates. New trips automatically inherit the last car you drove. BEAUTIFUL TRIP DETAILS See every drive on a clean map with a color-coded speed overlay. Trips with stops are grouped into journeys automatically, so your log reads the way you actually drove. POWERFUL FILTERING Find any trip fast — filter by date, car, label, or marker, with multi-select for exactly the view you need. EXPORT (Premium: Lifetime In App Purchase) Export your trips as CSV, PDF, or GPX — complete with distances, markers, and license plates. Ideal for reimbursement, accounting, or your own records. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your trips sync seamlessly across your devices with iCloud and stay in your account. No third-party tracking. Also works with Siri, the Action Button, Spotlight, and widgets.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: AutoTrips at fortnightly against PackKit's every 5 weeks. PackKit's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
