Plan your trip day by day, together, and keep it yours. Trovelo puts every flight, stay, place and expense on one board, a column for each day, synced through your own iCloud. No account to create, no ads. -- PLAN IT TOGETHER -- Invite the people you're traveling with by the address they use for iCloud, and choose who can edit and who can only look. Everyone sees the same days and cards; your packing, documents and expenses stay yours. -- ADD ANYTHING IN SECONDS -- Start typing and Trovelo searches Apple Maps, your saved places and its own picks at once. Or write it the way you'd say it: "ramen at Ichiran 7pm ¥1200" becomes a card with the time, the price and the kind already filled in. Paste a list, a Maps link or a whole itinerary and Trovelo spreads it across your days. Hold the map to drop a pin anywhere. -- EVERY KIND OF TRIP -- 46 kinds of card, each in its own color: flights with connections, trains, buses, cruises, car rentals, event tickets, hikes, wineries, beaches and more. Your stay becomes a key card with the check-in time and the door code. Each day tells you if it's an easy day, a busy one, or too full, and how you'll get between stops: walking, driving or public transit. -- IDEAS AND GUIDES -- More than 4,300 handpicked places in 128 destinations, with photos and a map. 56 ready-made guides, 45 cities and 11 road trips from the Douro to Route 66, that you can read day by day before turning one into your trip. -- SOMEDAY -- Found a place before you know when you'll go? Save it to Someday with its photo and its country. When you plan a trip to that city, it's waiting for you. -- ON THE ROAD -- Your next stop lives on the Lock Screen: what you're doing, how long is left and what comes next, with the door code ready at the end of the day. The home screen widget shows today's plan and the countdown. Weather tells you what your dates are usually like months ahead, then switches to the live forecast as the trip gets close. -- PACKING THAT KNOWS WHERE YOU'RE GOING -- A packing list for every trip, sorted by category, that opens with the trip's own brief: the weather you're packing for and the plugs you'll need. -- BUDGET IN ANY CURRENCY -- Log expenses in any currency and see the total in your home currency as you go. Send an Apple Pay payment to the trip you're on straight from Shortcuts. Expenses breaks down where the money went, by category, and exports it to a spreadsheet. -- DOCUMENTS, READY AT THE GATE -- Scan a passport or ID and Trovelo reads the name, number and expiry date right on your iPhone, and warns you if something runs out before the trip does. Boarding passes, tickets and bookings stay with the trip they belong to. -- YOUR TRAVEL LIFE -- My Spots turns the places you've been into a map, with a flag stamp for every country and the years you were there. Trovelo can suggest them from your photo library by reading only the photos' location tags, on your device. -- SHARE AND KEEP -- Send a trip as a magazine-style PDF, or a clean itinerary to WhatsApp. Download a backup of everything and restore it whenever you like. -- IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC -- Your trips follow you across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Ask Siri what's on today, or dictate a card. With Pro on Mac, you can connect an AI assistant such as Claude and plan a trip in plain words. Trovelo speaks 13 languages. -- FREE TO START, PAY ONCE FOR PRO -- Plan your first trips for free. Trovelo Pro unlocks unlimited trips and cards with a single one-time purchase. It's not a subscription. -- PRIVATE BY DESIGN -- No account, no ads, and no Trovelo servers. Your trips live on your devices and sync through your own iCloud. When a feature needs the internet, like maps, photos, weather or exchange rates, your device asks that service directly and sends only what the feature needs, such as a place name or a currency code. Every detail is in our privacy policy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Trovelo at free against 1st Class's freemium. 1st Class's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
